Also, this guy is choosing very intentionally to experience a painful thing such that others might experience less pain, less panic, less death. Good man. Role model. Hero. Citizen of the world I would like to live in.

This video is fantastic *documentation*: “Hi. You might have this problem. You will think of this solution. It will be wrong. This is what the right solution looks like. I am going to do this right in front of you. Here is how you will test that you’re doing it right.”https://twitter.com/awkwardgoogle/status/1069864195661934592 …

We had videos like that and training sessions in shallow ice-water as kids in north Sweden. Falling through the ice was expected. We all had these ice-climbing tools around our necks, just in case.pic.twitter.com/bZNRyfYU29
-
(when skating, obviously. Or just when skiing and potentially crossing a river)
-
We had the videos in Canada, but not the tools.
-
The tools were the best part, being handed them was like being given a drivers licence, except I was seven and it only allowed me to skate & ski.
-
I have Swedish heritage, should stop by someday :)
-
The rescue tools are common in Norway as well, and most kids learn the ice rescue in theory. Too many forgets to bring the rescue tools, and the video clip at the start of this thread is great. (However, nothing is more educating than your first involuntary ice bath.)

Bad analogy. Everyone's most desired outcome for what to do when you fall through ice is the same, but that isn't applicable to tools. We all need them to do at least trivially different, sometimes radically different stuff.
-
What we are trying to do varies more than what stops us from doing. Think of it like we may be trying to drive to different destinations but blowing a tire is similar for any of them.

Nice link, thanks. Awful explanation, please spare your poor followers your nonsense next time.

Hi. You have a problem. You're an asshole. You might think you're solving a problem. You aren't. This isn't the correct response to that, but I'm going to tell you you're an asshole to your face. That is a comfort rarely afforded to assholes. Be a nicer person another day!

It seems trite to suggest you're really writing a message to your less self-aware self, but ok. I guess I'm suggesting that. Christ, what an asshole.

Best method is to avoid falling through ice by not going outside between November and March.
-
I will never live where death by going outside is a thing.
-
I bet statistically it is more dangerous to walk a whole 24h outside in your area than through Scandinavian nature ;-)

When I was a kid in Northern Ontario in Canada we had PSA on doing this - using a hockey stick to spread the load.

yeah, not enough attention is given to things that seem reasonable but don't work. e.g. "You'll call a function that gives you an IO String. Your first idea will be to look for a way to unwrap it and get the String. Long story short, that won't work."
-
"Your second idea will be to write your next function so that it accepts an IO String. Don't do that, either: just make it accept an ordinary String."
