I dislike cyclists too, but this one is entirely on the drivers. Looking what vehicles are ahead of you and not running into them is not a difficult task. I think VR simulators with eye tracking could be used in the future to screen drivers who lack the required spatial abilities and keep them off the road.

There is one class of accidents where I think there is some culpability both on the part of the cyclists and infrastructure makers, though. Where the dedicated bike paths and roads intersect, there is often not enough visibility due to signs, hedges, pylons, etc. to spot some of the faster Lycra types in time. I suppose the well-meaning infrastructure makers assumed everyone is a casual cyclist going slow enough to be spotted in time.

I have a question regarding how you render "gray" pixels. You said that you use rectangles, because "dithered" pattern had low performance. But the rectangles cause "scanlines", which I presume are because of imprecise mapping to physical pixels.

Have you tried other shapes? Dividing the square by the diagonal should not have this problem, and you're even drawing a simpler shape (triangle vs rectangle).
“Rare”? How about “catastrophic”? Is this written by PR people?

So do I! It saved me a lot of work. I started making it as a web-based react component, and I got to the part where I was doing custom bezier curves and keyframe based animation, and I was like "ah, I'm reinventing the wheel here!" So I switched. The only (possible) downside is that the addon has to be GPL3. I always intended on licensing the engine as GPL3, so it wasn't a problem for me.

Yeah no that's just BS. Why is it always okay to judge all cyclists by the worst offenders, but drivers are only judged by their own personal actions? If that's the way the argument should go, the group of drivers are far, far, far worse than cyclists. How many are killed by a cyclist each year, compared to a driver? So yeah, arguing about the merits of the "groups" is just plain useless.

The taxes for a car aren't even close to offsetting their costs on society (infrastructure, external factors like pollution etc). I already pay for the infrastructure through taxes. And most cyclists (including me) also operate cars. So that's not really an argument. Making cycling cheaper is a also net win (health, environment,+++), so making cycling more expensive is a stupid idea. Actually, saying "cyclists should pay your fair share" would mean that cycling would end up cheaper than now, and cars even more expensive. So I'm all for it.

I agreed with everything you wrote wholeheartedly except for the very last line. The fact is that Adobe tried for years to get Flash to be stable and performant on Android... and failed.

So, yeah, there were good technical reasons not to have it on mobile devices in that state.

Adobe couldn't hack it, and they refused to open source it so that anyone else could give it a shot. It's sad, truly. They could have gifted it to the community once it became clear that they were not going to make any more money on it, and there could have been an evolution over time - certainly there were enough passionate developers who loved the platform...

There's been nothing like Flash since then for ease of use and creativity... I know multiple people whose entire careers started with messing around with it as ten year old kids... Now kids are putting that creativity into Roblox or Minecraft I suppose, but it doesn't seem like the same sort of thing. shakes fist at cloud

If there is no dedicated bike lane (or if it is blocked by a taxi or FedEx truck), I usually take the entire car lane.

Cars tend to pass way too close, and taking the lane (which is completely legal where I live) means I have some space to move a little bit away from a car while it's passing too close.

> you chose to potentially cause more damage

Seriously? I surrounded myself with a metric ton of rigid metal and bazillion safety systems (and pay ridiculous sums for that, mind you) to protect myself and my family in a deadly environment. Cyclist chose to go there practically naked.

And before you say it's not a "deadly environment", it's "deadly people" - that's mostly false. Any human has limits to reaction time, can't see everything and so on, fixing that substantially is really hard if not impossible (self-driving cars, maybe).

Yes, as a driver I basically chose to sign a blood contract to kill people with low probability cause I'm not a perfect machine. But did I have much choice? Driving my mom to a hospital on a bike is impossible. Are you sure you didn't sign other such contracts in you life for yourself and your family? Are you sure your quality of life you chose does not condemn other people to poverty and death?

Trying to change words together with trying to push through solutions is IMO totally OK. But only working on the wording is to me a typical symptom of an IMO particularly useless kind of politics.

I give you a particularly egregious example coming out of Swiss German: Somewhere after WW2, handicapped people became a big topic. At the same time, the German word for "handicap" apparently started to become a bit of a swear word for some reason ("behindert"). So, politics changed the word to... "invalid". So now, people aren't just being labelled handicaped but actually worthless - thanks, I hate it. And then the word got calcified by introducing the state "invalidity insurance" (Invalidenversicherung) in 1960. Politicians really have a knack for butchering the language.

> Regardless of spins of pundits, most scientific analysis agree: its due to career demands outweighing everything in ones twenties and traditional support nets not sufficiently being compensated for with alternative support.

Most analyses I've seen agree it's due to nonfamily social support systems shifting economic incentives away from having children as a form of personal support insurance, which is why it isn’t more pronounced, among liberal economies, in societies with greater young adult career pressure but instead those with stronger social safety nets.

Cyclists roll through signals, intersections & stop signs as if they were mere suggestions and nothing more.

As do a lot of car drivers.
It's the same story everywhere. Cyclists are blamed not only for their mistakes but for others' mistakes as well. When an accident happened, a cyclist is blamed irrespective of whoever is at mistake. I have seen it first-hand multiple times. Also, people casually say that why are these cyclists ride on busy roads?

Different people have different cycles where they are alert and productive. About 2/3 of the population are "larks", most alert in the morning, go through a trough in the arternoon and return to some sort of creative/productive state in the early evening. About 1/3 are owls. They have their trough in the morning, the creative/productive phase during the day and the alert phase in the evening.

It's good to be aware of what type you are and what works for you. Conversely, recommending anyone just gets up earlier may be more harmful than helpful, depending on the person.

No, the idea of "default" liability is just. Since driving in most places is a privilege not a right, arbitrary restrictions can be imposed. In this case, the restrictions simply involve increased risk of sanctions for the ability to drive increasingly risky vehicles.

This has a strong precedent: Class A vs Class C licences.

You're following someone's footsteps and don't even know it.

This is years beyond the statute of limitations so I can finally talk about it - in my youth I broke into one of LANL's servers for kicks; some Lotus/IBM Domino machine, saw nothing of interest except for a project directory which even the admin didn't have access to... I didn't want to escalate privileges any further because it'd require permanent changes and would probably trip a flag - but then I found a bizarre folder.

Someone coded a series of directories within Domino and made a maze game, maybe a Zork 'lite'. I spent a few minutes exploring and got bored.
Flash is better than HTML5. If Google instead of Adobe bought Macromedia, and open sourced it (at least in the read-only mode like Android), things could have turned out very different: it could have been a part of Chromium and a web standard.
I have tried other shapes at the pixel level, but not at the sprite level. Example: I draw from the top left pixel, draw the whole row of pixels (use the run length encoding), Then I draw the next row and so on. I haven't tried drawing the top left pixel and then drawing the to the bottom right corner, then moving up/down a diagonal row. You're right that might make it look a lot better, I will have to try it later. I stopped after I got it "good enough", because I wanted to finish the game.
In all honesty, to me, someone who doesn't want kids is inherently signaling that they're a loser in the game of life.

I firmly believe that nobody should be using the road in a car until they have learnt to use the road on a bicycle.

Pilots don't learn to fly in airliners. Captains don't learn to sail in ocean liners. Why on earth do we let people operate machinery weighing multiple tons and capable of high speeds on the public highway without having anywhere near the same level of experience?

99% of car operators on the road have zero experience of the road outside of a car. A person on a bike is still a person, but a person in a car is a car. They can't feel the road. They hate travelling under the speed limit because there's a tank of fossil fuel and they only need to squeeze a pedal to effortlessly ascend hills or battle the wind. This is why they will never treat cyclists as people and with respect.

It's not retributive to not allow someone who has failed the most important task in driving to drive. We don't allow children to do it, we don't allow the (extremely) elderly to do it, we shouldn't allow people who put others at risk to do it either.

Empathy and compassion are all fine and good, and in this case, the compassionate would make sure to take anyone who has shown willingness to cause an accident off the road for good. Not even a terrible person deserves to have a murder on their conscience, and nobody deserves to die because someone wasn't paying enough attention while flying down the highway.

Loan rates are high because default rates are high. Take a look at auto lending. At the bottom you have like a 15% default rate (e.g. the worst subprime auto loans), for these you are going to get (say) a 20% interest rate.

Now it's true that as rates go up, so do default rates, so the same people who would only default at a rate of 10% of the time if the lending rate was 8% are going to default at 15% of the time at a lending rate of 20%. That's the cold, hard, mathematical truth of how risk works -- those who are already safe bets are lent to at very low rates, but those in a precarious position are lent to at higher rates. No amount of hand-wringing or preaching from soapboxes is going to change the math.

Now this can be a strong argument in favor of locking the poor out of credit markets. The argument goes: if they have a history of poor decision making or inability to maintain stable incomes, then we can protect them from making a poor decision about a loan by removing the possibility of getting a loan. I think this argument has a lot of force, but it also catches people who had bad credit due to sheer bad luck, and not poor decision making, and it makes life a bit harder for them. Another cold, hard truth - often to help a majority you have to hurt a minority.

So we try another tack -- make those with good credit subsidize those with bad credit by forcing everyone to pay the same interest rate for a car. That is basically a law against credit analysis. Don't take things like payment history or income into account, every loan is made at 10%. Here the problem is that there are wealthy people who obviously pose little risk, and they will be able to borrow from other markets at a lower rate, and will exit the auto lending market, thus driving default rates up and the average interest rate up and again the net result is shutting down the entire auto-lending market rather than just keeping out those with bad credit.

For this lending business to work, we need the best credit analysis possible, and attempts at making credit analysis less accurate create dead weight costs for everyone.

Really this is an object lesson in an old economic dictum: don't mess with prices to stabilize incomes. If you want to help the poor, give them money. Don't try to regulate the prices the poor pay for things.
