Reply to comment by majorbummer6 in TIL about the void that forms under certain trees when it snows, called tree wells. The upper branches of the tree prevents snow from falling below it, creating a pocket that is a serious peril for skiers & snow boarders. Several die every year from falling head first into these voids. by Roguecop

You're good. I ski regularly in Colorado and they arent as big of an issue as they can be made out to be. Yes, they are absolutely around the mountain but not everywhere. Large snowfalls are more likely to cause them, and you need to be in the glades to find one.

Reply to comment by lordofbitterdrinks in [News] Twitter algorithm now open source by John-The-Bomb-2

This quite obviously isn't the repo used by twitter.

It is a pretty large and well put together documentation epic & consolidation of multiple microservices.

Whether the content is 100% reflective of whats deployed is completely unclear. But its not "fake" that's for sure, its genuinely too many man-years of work to not be in-essence real.

Reply to comment by Valbertnie in [OC] The United States Prison Crisis by cbarrettg

So you’re telling me there are hundreds of thousands more people locked up in prison for victimless offences and that this is only a “small portion” (your words) of folks locked up in the US prison system?

And you think that’s a good thing? The US locks more people for then any other country on earth by a long shot including the Soviet Union at its height.

Ok enjoy lol.
