I get what you mean - but since motorcycles are more specific use than cars, I think it's fair. I think it more reasonable to never be under any substance - for example- when riding a bike rather than a car, since most people will have the option between both, so the groups are more valid.

But yeah it's still 17x more on average
That depends on the implementation, but its just a fundamental technology difference. On the web, the default way to do things is to use a bunch of HTML elements and whatnot, which are user-agent-introspectable, even if they are modified using a blob of code.

With apps, you kind of by definition only have a blob of code. As an user and with a sufficiently advanced operating system, you can block some outside-world interactions like internet connections, but the app only has to give you a render target whose pixels can be drawn to arbitrarily. Some apps even use integrity verification features from the OS vendor to check if they haven't been tampered with, that is much harder to do on the web.

Which is incidentally why there is so much interest in high performance web programming and being able to draw arbitrary pixels to a render target (hello canvas/webgl/webgpu). Expect content blockers to become way less effective in the coming years (even ignoring the big obvious attacks like Chrome's Manifest v3).

Well, if they do this I guess I get to be a lot more present and stop checking my phone - I don't install apps for sites like reddit or the birdsite.

I don't know about the stats used in the article, but I agree with the gist of it: stats only tell you the chances of a statistically average person being killed, but that isn't very useful or insightful because of the enormous range in people's behavior and attitude to safety.

People don't understand this basic fact about averages: you throw away most of the information! If you want to talk about the chances of dying in a plane crash, then these kinds of stats are ideal, because everyone who flies has about the same chance, and there's nothing you can do to change it.

But with motorbikes, you can influence your chances of surviving. And not just a little bit! When I started I remember reading that something like almost half of fatal motorcycle accidents in the US don't involve another vehicle. Incredible! Literally almost none of those people need to die - they are dying because they go too fast, don't wear proper safety gear, refuse to use their brakes, and/or they never explicitly learned how to control a bike. All choices.

There's a major caveat to all that though: yes you might behave better than many other motorcyclists, but it takes discipline. That's why bad behavior is so popular (it's easy). How much to you trust yourself to never make a mistake? So yes it is dangerous but you do have a lot of control but extra-but also you will probably have the occasional lapse in that control.

Rather than dangerous, the word I tend to use for motorcycles, small aircraft, bad neighborhoods etc. is unforgiving.

There seems to be this notion that we can make technical choices in a vacuum, that there are inherent qualities which universally make X better than Y. The job is then to search out the expert assessment on the matter. Without consideration of the software dimensions mentioned here, you're basically giving up on engineering.

It's a knowledge gap problem, which is precisely why it's comforting to seek out and lean on the consensus opinion. The alternative takes work: filling that knowledge gap with data from empirical observation and logical analysis. Well-designed experiments? Well-specified requirements? Design? Nobody has time for that /s. It's much easier to say "k8s bad 'cause I read it on HN"
It's hard to read too much into today's numbers. Right now, people who didn't follow the API pricing saga (or just forgot the blackout started today, or wanted to log in anyway) are logging into reddit, getting shocked, and looking at the posts still available to them. It's still their morning reddit time so they comment in those posts or create some new ones. But they are less happy about it because the average quality of the first 30 posts they see went down, because it's the top 30 from a smaller pool.

We'll see what happens on subsequent days.
> text dump of what Microsoft did in binary than a standard meant for interoperability.

Isn't it all XML based?

It's been a long time, but that was certainly not my experience from what I recall; I had a lot of trouble with this. And writing files and then expecting Word users to be able to read them well was another source of problems.

And look, maybe ODT would have been better; but that ship has sailed, and OOXML seems free for all intents and purposes, even though perhaps it's not 100% ideal. This is just not something that's all that important today.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that startups should be investing spare cycles in automation moreso than documentation.

Few in the legal world actually use cryptographic signatures for signing things. It's vastly more common to use scanned hand signatures or just /s/ and an e-mail record of sign off.

Why? Because it has worked that way for hundreds of years. It's pretty uncommon for there to be a dispute about the fact of signature, and even if there is, cryptographic signature solutions don't necessarily solve it.

Yes, despite assuming that old.reddit.com was static, it doesn't seem to be. Periodically they tweak something about it and break it a little more. Trying to convince people to stop using it I guess.
Like gamblers and drug addicts, power users are the ones most likely to return to the site after leaving. There really are no true alternatives like in the Digg days, so I assume most power users will begrudgingly use the official app. Hell, I use a third party app and I just downloaded the official app as well.

Those unexpected consequences could also cause serious problems, and nobody wants to be held responsible for that. If a storm destroys your home because of climate change caused by 8 billion people, it's hard to hold anyone accountable. But if your home is destroyed because one organisation decided to block out the sun, suddenly someone is responsible.
> isn't man made

I don't see how that would make people's anxiety unnecessary. I'm in the "of course it is man made, what are you talking about" camp, but let's assume it's not man made for now, but climate change is real.

Wouldn't that be even more anxiety inducing? If it is man made presumably with the right incentives and changes we can unmake it. If it is not man made, then what? We just lost out on the cosmic lottery, it was good while it lasted? How is that less anxiety inducing?
So far this year we've seen: record breaking fires in Canada, ice disappearing from the north pole area, a huge positive temperature anomaly over the south pole with associated melting, and recording breaking floods across Europe and Asia.

Open-sourcing is a double-edged sword. Young ideas are fragile and if they open source the project now, they'll have to deal with entitled people and trolls instead of investing their time developing the project. They have said, though, they are going to open-source the project eventually like Swift.

Also the team behind the project includes very smart people with a history of delivering other great projects (LLVM, Clang, MLIR and Swift).

I don't see how discouraging other people for trying to innovate is helpful. In the end this project could benefit all of us.
>Not shorts but similar is I used Spotify for many years then it started forcing Podcasts on me as Podcasts where the hot thing. On my homepage where I had music which was relevant to me I had to hunt around to find my music as my homepage was full of podcasts I had no interest in so eventually cancelled my membership.

Back when I got my car, I installed an Android Auto head unit and justified a Spotify subscription because I could easily navigate the AA app and play any music I wanted.

I had a major breakpoint one day driving home from work, and there was *no* music on my main page anywhere. I had to scroll 3 full pages down to get past all the podcasts they were trying to get me to listen to. After that I just canceled my sub and went back to buying/downloading my music, 2007-style.

If you’re really concerned then change careers to a field that is working on tech to improve the human condition. Short list:

1. Nuclear physics

2. Robotics and automation

3. Space engineering and rocketry

4. Materials science

5. Biotech

Even if you can’t reskill to work directly on the tech you can still contribute using your existing skills. If you want your kids to have a future then you need to build it for them.

My suspicion is, reddit leadership wants to cash in even more on the smartphone addiction - hence the ongoing tiktokification through r/all and the heavy push to control the UX (first by promoting the app, now by locking out 3rd-party clients).

From the UI changes and priorities I've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if the endgame is to just have a tiktok-like stream with a mix of cat pictures, cyclically repeated rage-inducer questions from r/askreddit, r/amitheasshole or r/relationship_advice, mixed with some tabloid news and shitposts/memes.

Never mind the quality of the content as long as you have eyeballs.

For that you don't need any actual communities either.

I like your explanation, it has more missing information and also demonstrates the use of "import inspect", it's definitely not to be ignored!

Did I understand correctly, the fact that the variable is not belonging to the closure is the non-intuitive part, not knowing "how it was decided to do in Python" I'd expect the variable to belong to the closure, but instead just the reference to the variable outside of the closure belongs to the closure? Which AFAIK doesn't save any memory (the reference still has to be there), it was simply a design decision?

So in Python the closure just doesn't "enclose" the variables at all? So any use of any variable in it can destroy something used "outside"? How do those using these construct cope with that in practice? Just ignore? Invent some naming schemes? Something else?

Reminds me on an old Fortran which allowed changing the global constants passed to the functions via an assignment to the function parameter inside of the function. :)

You are describing environments where it is very common to have hardware redundancy. I mean, sure they may have hardening for each component to reduce the likelihood of losing one of them. But hardware redundancy is a standard tool in safety critical systems.
Swift wasn't initially open-source either. I remember this because I was like, nope fuck that shit until it's open source so I never touched Swift until Swift 2.0 when they open sourced it.

(Actually IIRC I started learning it when they promised to open source it later that same year. So the actual moment of open-sourcing might have been slightly later.)

My impressions as someone who's been exclusively using Linux on laptops since 2007:

Heavy. Intel-only, and not even good for an Intel. Poor display. Designers can't count to three (mouse buttons). Optical drive but no built-in bluetooth on a laptop in 2023, really? RAM for 3x the market rate. Tiny battery.

I wouldn't even get this is a political statement (too heavy and bulky), never mind as an actual daily driver.

There absolutely have been exoduses from reddit before, and many of the resulting sites still exist.

However, in general, these were driven by Reddit banning some sort of abhorrent content, so they were kinda self-limiting; few normal people would want to use a reddit clone that was 90% populated with the denizens of r/fatpeoplehate or the upskirt people or whatever other sort of horrible weirdos were impacted by reddit's bans.

This is really pretty different, in that it impacts the average user (or at least the average power user) so might potentially lead to more reasonable breakaway communities.
Which is why in aerospace and safety critical systems, RTOSes are used and not fully fledged OSes.

I don't even see an issue with that particular artefact, I think it's an interesting problem from a technical pov, hence literally every other part of my comment.
Equally, or maybe more so, interesting is that most of the popular subreddits are dark now. The ones that aren't maybe get modded by people using the main site or official app. I'd infer from this that blocking third parties will have a tremendously negative impact on how Reddit is moderated. It'll descend into a spam-infested hellsite from July if there isn't a change.
Ask HN: Anyone make good money selling side-projects?

> Incidentally, many Socialist refugees that managed not to get jailed during the Mani Pulite purges,

It wasn't really a purge, anyway not so many, just those that were on the Bettino Craxi's side, who was close friend with Berlusconi, who was best man in the second Berlusconi's marriage, a man who's considered the one who ruined the Italian Socialist Party beyond recover.

Proof is the two Craxi's sons: Stefania ended up with the center-right coalition, Bobo with the center left and he's still member of the PSI (Italian Socialist Party)
