> women are 73% more likely to be injured – and 17% more likely to die – in a vehicle crash.

Misleadingly wrong.

Many more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Men typically drive more miles than women and are more likely to engage in risky driving practices, including not using seat belts, driving while impaired by alcohol and speeding. Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers (Li et al., 1998).

However, females are more likely than males to be killed or injured in crashes of similar severity (Kahane et al., 2013). The types of vehicles men drive and the circumstances of their crashes contribute to the decreased risk (Brumbelow & Jermakian, 2022). The difference in fatality risk between male and female drivers has diminished in newer vehicles with improvements in crashworthiness and restraint design (Noh et al., 2022).

For nearly every year from 1975 to 2021, the number of male crash deaths was more than twice the number of female crash deaths, but the gap has narrowed.

You can do that, Java did recently. You need full control of all the blocking primitives so they can yield the thread.

Where this breaks is with FFI: if you cannot intercept blocking calls in foreign functions, you block useful threads or even deadlock. This is what the quote in the article is about:

> The cost for the native compatibility with the C/system runtime is the “function coloring” problem.
You should value wide knowledge. Not be scared of it.
> I very much doubt ISPs are in the habit to turn down expansion in any area (and therefore more money/maintain their regional monopoly) because of the race of people living there.

Then presumably the law will have no effect.

Your conclusion is assuming bad intentions, but frankly the effect of most anti-discrimination provisions tends to be rather minor. It's extremely difficult to prove, unless people are blatant about it.
How could the language know when an operation is going to be cpu bound?
If you read this and thought, "I wish I knew where to buy a good xyz" I recommend you check out Ben's Appliances and Junk on youtube and the BIFL (Buy It For Life) subreddit. Both have helped me.

It often seems impossible to buy things that are quality or free of extraneous features no matter what you are willing to pay. It's frustrating.
Part of the point of effect systems is precisely to allow HOF's to deal with these "color" differences in a consistent way. Similar to how in Rust, an error return is modeled as just an instance of some Option<> or Result<> type instead of some bespoke 'exception', so all HOF's can seamlessly manage the 'exceptional' case.
My newsletters always had one-two of those and then another that was always like "what's the hardest part of how nobody in society respects you for having a 160 IQ?"
My team at Apple is very heavy on pcl + k8s configs. It's a very useful tool. Definitely recommend everyone to get familiar with it.
Can this actually be observed from data though?
Not significantly. Humans are made up of matter already available at the earth's surface, so population increase alone effects neither the amount nor distribution of the earth's mass.

Technological civilization might at some point meaningfully shift the distribution of mass, but I don't think it has up to this point.
Yes, I'd totally hate my house collapsing over me and my family because the neighboor excavated the rocks that were keeping my house's foundations stable in place.

I assume heavily changing the water infiltration/leaking paths could also have significant effects on how the ground behaves even outside of the area that is worked on.

PS: My dumb brain 30min after waking up: "surrounding properties" + "value" + "at risk" was the phrase I first read from your comment.
It probably exists. I don't see any reason that it should always be a good idea to lend money. But the link between "it is a bad idea to lend money" and "therefore we should cause prices to rise exponentially" is absurd on its face. The obvious alternative is people shouldn't lend out money until someone figures out a good use for the borrowings. I've never heard an argument that justifies a policy response.

There are a couple of metrics that I'd accept as a goal for the economy. Maximising median leisure time, maximising wealth creation, maximising payoff for working hard, minimising waste. Something like that or any reasonable combination. I don't think exponentially increasing the prices of goods and services helps with any of those. As far as I can tell it just transfers wealth to asset owners. Which is nice enough if you are an asset owner but it seems arbitrary, unfair and pointless to me. I propose alternative strategies of asset owners have to rely on the value of the asset to make money, rather than waiting for handouts.

I own enough assets that this policy probably benefits me. But it also appears to be causing terrible damage to the community and general faith in capitalism so I expect there will be a nasty backlash at some point that will outweigh the short term benefits. I can't buy stuff if people don't see a benefit in making it.
Yeah, I do order food home and I am actually never using a fridge myself, so you are right in that sense.
> It is.

Not that's your paranoia. Like how people on here said Cybertruck was scan for the preorder fees and would never ship based on similar thoughts like yours.

> So.. it's made up misinformation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is doing an engineering analysis of Tesla's power steering problems?

When did I ever say that? I just noted that most other automakers' having similar issues and recalls don't reach the front page of HN. Ford had 68 recalls in 2023, how many reached HN's front page compared to Tesla's?

I was responding to a comment high up the page stating this:

> I've never driven a tesla.

>I've also never had my steering wheel randomly stop working in the middle of driving.

The implication is that only Teslas have power steering loss issues because the poster never had a Tesla and never had power steering losses, based on a faulty anectdotal assumption. Isn't that misleading if not misinformation?

Mazda just had a big recall for power steering loss:

> Mazda recall for power steering warning
Mazda is recalling 43,752 of its 2024 CX-90 vehicles. An assembly issue with the worn gear in the steering wheel system could result in a sudden loss of power steering assist. Loss of the power steering assists while driving increases the risk of a crash, the NHSTA reports.

> Mazda owners can visit their dealers to replace the spring engaging in the worn gear. The mechanics will reapply grease to the gear teeth, which will be free of charge. All Mazda owners affected will receive a notification letter on March 18. Owners can contact the Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 and press option six. Mazda's number for this recall is 6542A.

And this isn't even a software recall that is fixed with an OTA update.

Where's the coverage of that story on HN?

I responded with a list of URLs showing other car companies had similar issues and somehow everyone's super angry about me and it got downvoted as punishment for adding context and facts, and to bury it lower down the page. And all the personal attacks.
Reading through previous comments ... yes smart to check for cached google results and use them only ... my experience about maybe 1 to 2 % of non cached results ever had any useful info in them, so ignoring non cached is the way to go - I say that as someone who typically conducted at least a couple hundred focused searches (ie the use of numerous switches which used to work with google) on google every day up until around 2014 or so - as well as a few other search engines to seek out the really hard to find stuff. [If it were easy it wouldn't have been something I'd be doing.]

Further comment though is, though I'm unsure if quotes in the search box do the same thing, what makes a really good search engine is if all the words placed in the search box, are included in results. I'm not seeing this ... in fact I just tested and a third of the page were results that only had one of the key words. I just modified the settings to turn off safe mode and set to all regions ... sadly the site now is just white apart from the search bar ... no results. Set it back and it's sort of working ...
I don't super understand your point. I understood TFA to making the argument that dealing with the low-level business of stuff like mutexes and async/await isn't what most people want to do:

> We should aspire not to simplify the system by hiding the differences between futures and threads, but instead to find the right set of APIs and language features that build on the affordances of futures to make more kinds of engineering achievable than before.

The stuff you listed, along with async/await, makes this possible. Isn't that what TFA is saying?
FYI, I removed the post because of your sudden hostility and because I didn't want to get into an argument. I still don't know why you took so much offense to my post, but I'm not sorry.
So then we float aimlessly, pointlessly and meaninglessly towards nothingness?

If there's a space where the creative impulse is more thoroughly commidifed than crypto, I don't know what it is. I say that as an early, often, and continuing crypto enthusiast for the same naive reasons I am an internet technology enthusiast.

I do think, however, that the two movements share a common ancestor in the certain and nearly evangelical belief that technology holds the answers to messy people problems- early internet culture was largely about assuming the best in people, and crypto by it's design is about assuming the absolute worst and harnessing that to make tech.

Of the two, I think crypto is probably more sustainable!
Why do you think it is similar to Dart/Flutter? MAUI is basically a dolled-up Xamarin, but catered to .net 6+ (which has the ios/android toolchains as first party TFMs so it makes it much nicer to organize projects in some ways).

But I agree, in the longer term it's something to think about.

I used to go to a lot of author talks/readings, and was always fascinated by how different different writers' techniques are. Some know the ending when they start, some are surprised by what comes out, or even feel like it's not something they control. Some meticulously outline and refine, some start at the beginning and write to the end.

"We demand an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare." That's one Nazi Party idea according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Program). I would say you are not that intelligent if you oppose that just because "Nazism bad". If you oppose racism it's pretty clear that you don't in general support Nazism. But opposing Nazism doesn't mean that you even oppose racism, maybe your smart friends just don't like that particular German codified version of racism, it's pretty pointless statement without some analysis. Just like US was back then against Nazism and ultimately even went to war with them while simultaneously being openly racist.

Granted, many of the Nazi ideas revolve pretty obsessively around the concept of race, but looks like at least in one case they were even explicitly not racists: "We demand struggle without consideration against those whose activity is injurious to the general interest. Common national criminals, usurers, profiteers and so forth are to be punished with death, without consideration of confession or race." And that's another idea I basically fully agree with. IMO death penalty should be reserved only for the most serious cases, but society needs to be extremely harsh to career criminals and their ilk, they laugh at lenient punishments.

Similar story here, we have a fairly large code base which has been continually evolved since year ~2000, with our own legacy "framework" for much of the server-side structure. Back then the forms used to reload the whole page, keeping user input and adding error messages (fun times!), then some kind of AJAX was added, where the server would send actual JS back to the client for execution. Some older pages still use jQuery.

A couple of years ago we needed to choose a way forward for new front-end dev, and we chose Vue just as Vue 3 was maturing. I didn't know much about reactive frameworks back then, so it was a bit of a hunch, but I'm very happy with how Vue3 has worked so far.

We did however do the effort of adding a build step. The site is basically multi-page, with small SPAs sitting at their own URLs for individual jobs. So we wrote a Rollup config to bundle each of the mini-SPAs into its own file, and modified the framework to add a way to configure "this page wants Vue3 and this is the path to its bundled JS". We load the main Vue script as a <script> tag of its own, instead of adding it to all the bundles, for better caching. But as far as I can tell, in this way we can use all the Vue3 niceties, including Single-File Components.
What does it have with it being proprietary? They are doing it because tons and tons of people who would actually use a full email client also use Exchange, for reasons that are usually beyond the users control. You'd rather have them support something that much less people use or need for... reasons? Remember, this is an email client. Supporting or not a certain protocol won't make email servers support said protocol, not in any meaningful way at least. It would just make the email client (again, more of a niche nowadays) more irrelevant.

Well despite your appeal to authority…

If you knew about that many exploits in the wild, surely you could (white hat) tell the company who created the browser or (black hat) make a lot of money by selling it to three letter agencies or private companies that sell it to three letter agencies.

However, in the real world, a fully patched Android or iOS operating system - especially one that is in “lock down mode” is not any more susceptible to
Zero day exploits than the number of other exploitable parts of the OS that you also don’t have any control over.

And even if you only run open source software, how long was the OpenSSL bug in operating systems before it was discovered?

Do you use your mobile’s messaging system? That’s been one of the primary targets of exploits that will target you directly.

I just want a language where await is the default behavior and I have to specify when I want to capture a future as a value and do something with it later. Most of the time I want an emulation of a synchronous thread of execution even if it's actually async. It's crazy to have to constantly specify the common case and to have the possibility of surprising behavior at best if I accidentally forget to await something somewhere.

Demographic dips are not very frequent in modern history, and on longer timescales we rarely have normalized housing affordability data.

But we have those for Paris since 1200.

The great plague -> population reduction of about 30% in the area, housing market quickly divided by four.

Then the first and second world wars, the demographic dip was not as harsh, but many young men lost their lives during the first war, and the morale was not good, also the 30s economic crisis, overall the housing market was divided by 15. Unprecedented for the whole Paris housing market recorded history.

It was followed by the well known baby boom. Housing was historically dirt cheap. It took about 50 years to reach the levels seen before the wars.
I think what we need is cheap 4G or 5G microcells. The difference between Wifi and 4G/5G is that 4G/5G requires lots of infrastructure to run.

From my experience with in-home WiFi most access points can cover a house just fine. The issue is even in the suburbs, you have dozens of other signals on the same frequency. So your signal to noise ratio is awful, leading to it being unusable in the spots farthest from the access point.

As a non-embedded dev, the tooling for embedded stuff has a problematically steep learning curve. I appreciate that sometimes there's a good reason for that, but it drives people to micropython and similar simply because getting them working is so much less painful.

I had an nrf52(840) microcontroller and it took me hours to get "hello world" out of that thing with nRF Connect/Zephyr. Granted, I had no idea what I was doing, but accomplishing the same with equally-foreign-to-me Circuitpython took five minutes - just plug it in to a USB port and drop the bootloader and then your .py into file explorer. I _want_ to do things "properly" and efficiently, but for a small project I can't justify the time investment to get there and so the -pythons provide a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
