“Requires considerable knowledge of ropework, knots, and protection to climb. Although "free-soloing", or climbing without a rope, is admired and even revered by some as the purest form of climbing, it is a rare sort of person that enjoys climbing significant class 5 pitches without a rope.”

Class 5 is subdivided in 5.1 through 5.15, with ¿some/each? having a further a through d rating.

The route he took is rated 5.12d, maybe 5.13a (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14500208), so that’s highly elite. Free-soloing is easier than soling with safety ropes in the sense that you won’t have to haul up gear :-) but of course a lot harder mentally.

I think ratings ignore length of the climb, and that matters, especially in this case, where there’s little to no time to rest.

You have to be confident that you’ll be physically and mentally fit enough for the entire thing (climbing down is more difficult, so you’re committing going all the way fairly soon). For Honnold, that meant almost four hours.
>The GPU can allocate more than that though if the program makes a slightly different allocate call to request it.

Maybe in ROCM, but not in generic Windows and Linux apps and video games that I've tried. They all cap out at whatever you set in BIOS for the iGPU VRAM reservation and don't go beyond that into system RAM. If ROCM has this ability how come AMD's driver, at least in Windows, doesn't do this memory overflow thing for VRAM hungry apps like video games, as that would certainly alleviate this issue.

IMHO, still a worse implementation than the unified model of Intel. Having a large chunk of memory constantly blocked for a HW component, regardless if it's currently needed or not is just horribly inefficient, especially when you're on a mobile device and have 16GB of RAM or less to play with.

Disappointing.

Nothing's preventing Nintendo from releasing their games on PC, aside from their own stubborn refusal to do so.

They don't even need to stop releasing their own accessories when they have a legitimate reason to do so. The Wiimote could have just been a Bluetooth gamepad and a LED strip. In fact, that's exactly what it was!

Yes ofc, those cities were smashed for the state. Russia and Assad are allied.

> Absolute wages are higher in the US than in Europe.

They are, but do not forget that in Europe, our take-home wages already have healthcare, social security and pension contributions taken care of, and our housing and general cost of living (e.g. groceries) are also vastly lower than in the US.

> Wages have not stagnated in the US, either.

They have, at least for the wide masses [1].

Previous discussion here:

That's objectively and demonstrably false. The revolution (not an insurrection) didn't happen because of election results (the election was in 2010, the revolution started at the end of 2013 and continued into 2014). It started because the president decided to halt the integration of Ukraine with the EU and was peaceful until the government had decided to escalate.

And if you're talking about the Orange Revolution from 2004, that was peaceful all the way through, and lead to a second round of the election, not installing a new leader.
You are right, both the ECMA. standard and RFC leave the implementation of numbers open to the parser and language:

"JSON is agnostic about the semantics of numbers. In any programming language, there can be a variety of number types of various capacities and complements, fixed or floating, binary or decimal. That can make interchange between different programming languages difficult. JSON instead offers only the representation of numbers that humans use: a sequence of digits. All programming languages know how to make sense of digit sequences even if they disagree on internal representations. That is enough to allow interchange."

https://www.ecma-international.org/wp-content/uploads/ECMA-4...

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7159

And most JSON parsers allow you to extend and change how types are handled. I think however from a developer point of view by standardising on ints you reduce the risk of making a mistake in your implementation.

I think the point is though that as long as your system doesn't need to handle fractions of a cent/pence/etc then using them as the base representation and only doing integer math makes the system simpler. It moves the complexity of currency to the display layer away from the business layer. Obviously there are times when you need to be able to handle smaller units and a decimal type would be correct there.
Ask HN: Is pre-birth the same state as post-life?
I’ve previously encountered the idea of equating the state prior to my birth (nothing), with that of my death (also nothing).

From nothing springs forth my existence. What do you make of existence appearing after death?

I guess in short, is it any more absurd to be born twice than once?

Less common is an understatement. Less than 300 people have Smed(h) as their surname in Sweden. We also don't know if they originated in Sweden or if this was a Swedification of a foreign surname.
We had Yugoslavia, for southern Slavic people. Didn’t work out.
I wish something like this existed in Turkic languages. There's a billion of them with very small communities, so it would be nice to see some of their properties preserved in a unifying language. Not to mention there's also a lot of documented, but dead ones, mostly because of communities integrating and taking on a Slavic language (mostly Russian and Bulgarian, name of which probably comes from the nomadic Turkish tribe Bulgars).

Many Turkic-language-speaking communities are getting influenced by Turkish or Russian, and given that Turkish being heavily influenced by French, Persian and Arabic in the history, it feels like the languages are losing their essence.

I know the whole deal with spoken language development as they borrow, grow, die and stuff but just like sometimes people want to code in a much simpler programming language / framework, I also have the dream of inventing a toy-but-maybe-even-useful Turkic spoken language.
Your red herring arguments and whataboutism is noted. Stretching arguments about obvious ties to russia to being "election = stolen", while ignoring the actual 40℅ of the country who still believes trumps bullshit.

The idea of the GP is that if you know the exact plant, it's possible to make a chemical analysis if it and try to find a known drug that is produced by the plant and has been tested in humans or animals.

Humans use a lot of snake oil, probably chimps too. Preregistered double blind randomized controlled clinical trials that are good enough to be published in a serious peer review journal is a trick to avoid that.

Determining if some medical treatment is useful is very difficult. It may sound like a good idea, but it may be ineffective. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_stent#Controversy
> we must establish the limits of reasonable debate.

Not sure we need to do that for society as a whole. There's a difference between us, common people, and people with platforms, either private, or state-provided. These last two groups could be regulated, because misleading the public can have dire consequences to society.

I always suggest we should make lying or misrepresenting facts while representing a government (from school councils to president), should be considered a very serious criminal offence. Humanity cannot afford to have presidents who suggest drinking bleach may be a good idea or that COVID vaccines can turn you into an alligator. The only plausible excuse to lie for a government figure is national security, as misinformation can play a role that benefits society there.

FWIW, the fonts issue isn’t a technical limitation, it’s a legal/licensing one. Font foundries license by the seat, and scenarios like docs where documents can be shared outside an organization and the font travels with it are against the rules. Office online has the same issue for the same reasons.

There are exceptions, where a company has developed a font internally and owns the font directly, but those are far and few between. Even when a company has commissioned a font from a foundry, they’re usually licensing it from the foundry rather than owning it themselves as a work for hire.

(Source: googler, used to work on workspace, and through a random series of events ended up working closely with the google fonts team on this problem)

EDIT: also, you should be able to use apps script to do document generation from templates, that’s a pretty common use case.

Stupid question, but is that really full VR in the sense that you can move your head around in a limited volume and see everything with real depth perception? Or is it a 360 degree video projected to a sphere and you virtually sit in the center? Is the former even possible to produce somehow?
So I'm midway through implmementing it all, and I'm finding that a lot of both meta and alt keys have behaviours that block them from working on my Mac. I know on Linux it probably isn't like that, but a lot of people will have Meta- bindings for some actions in the UI. Would it be a huge issue if it defaulted to CTRL? ATM I'm having issues even recording the value of my meta keypresses as too many of them are default bindings in MacOS.

Edit: Regardless, it is now pushed on GH. Will be included in next version, thank you both for the suggestion!
I hope you realize how bad of a comparison that is. If a dam would break and flood some area it would kill people but after a year the chaos will be cleaned up and things will be back to normal.

If the same thing happens to a nuclear power plant the area can't be lived in for millions of years.
Same here, I got fed up with it and went AMD (or Intel) only. It just works.
> I happen to believe that capitalism is fundamentally the best form of peaceful cooperation and abuses of it can be regulated

I would not be so confident of that claim. I believe you're assessing that based on capitalism from the perspective of the predator states that exploit victim states. If there were no victim states, then capitalism would not work as well as it has for the predator states. Is everyone in the world better off with the current version of capitalism and the 'global order'? Steven Pinker may say yes but I'm not that convinced. The more I read about his research and some of the flaws like bias in the Yanomami analysis, the less I am convinced that things are better overall for everyone.

Show HN:Free Play Store Data Safety Report Generator
I have been working on a tool that automatically generates the Play Store Data Safety Section.

Here is the link to the tool: https://github.com/Privado-Inc/privado

We are looking for some beta users to test the tool. Will appreciate it if you can test & provide feedback.

How it works:

1. It's a CLI tool that does a static scan of your android app's code to find data types collected, SDKs

2. We look at Android permissions, user forms to detect Android Data Type. For the third party, we find relevant SDKs, Libraries & API calls

3. Guided workflow to help you fill the rest of the data safety form

4. Generates a CSV that you can import to Play Console

5. Scan runs locally, no code ever leaves your machine.

Please let me know if there are any questions regarding the tool.

Because the feedback loops are broken, is probably part of the answer.

A bad engineer simply does not deliver. In a way, the product provides feedback to the engineer by not working.

But providing feedback to a bad manager from below rarely ends well. So people work around them.

> Salarymen working conditions I would guess.

Working conditions vary hugely from company to company. On a spectrum from "black companies" -as they're called here- to "modern companies" with strict enforcement of work/life balance in terms of office hours and (lack of) overtime. Also, in my experience there's often a lot of variance within the same office too. Usually between those who have learned to set their own boundaries and those who haven't.

If anything, conditions are often the _opposite_ of rigid. Overtime is far more strictly regulated in Japan than in the US, for example. As such, blatantly over-exerting employees is nowhere near as common here as people overseas seem to assume. Because that kind of thing can land a company in a lot of trouble.

It's usually rather the un-rigid aspects that lead to stressful working conditions, as far as I can judge. People here generally strongly value being considerate of those around them, especially in terms of not being a burden to others, and one way this manifests itself is by a drive to meet implicit expectations of coworkers -- real or imagined. Over-promising and over-committing is a common mistake anywhere, but its an even easier trap to fall into in a country like this where expectations aren't rigidly outlined at all.

> The extremely rigid gender roles expected by society are another.

Well, yes, I concede that there is (still) a far larger gender-based bias in societal expectations than in many Western countries. However, wouldn't you say that in most aspects women are the side that draw the shorter sticks here? And yet, about 3 in 4 hikikomori are boys/men, so I'm not sure what kind of conclusion you'd want to draw from that...
Not sure what that link is, but it does not load for me.
>and a low percentage of a low salary is not a significant impact

That seems wildly inaccurate. If my employer secretly decreased my salary by ten percent, it could take me months to even notice. If someone is living paycheck to paycheck, a few percent actually matters.
I think VR is already there unfortunately, and that it's one of the things holding back wider scale adoption. On PC there's Revive which lets you play Oculus games on other headsets which is great, but it requires a little setup so most consumers aren't going to do it, and if Meta/FB decided tomorrow to remove accounts using it there'd be no recourse. So there are effectively arbitrary silos between hardware/stores on PC already, and any console headsets are unlikely to support OpenVR which further restricts the potential market for the devices and games. Arbitrary software and hardware exclusivity at this stage only seems to be serving the goal of some companies trying to dominate the market
> "it will still be a small disaster compared to all the causalities that already"

Maybe I'm missing something regarding this specific reactor but how is a war that will eventually (hopefully) be over worse than a nuclear fallout that would make large areas unlivable for thousands of years and affect multiple countries and also killing a lot of people.
Unions are important and solve real problems. But I tend to think that they are a necessary evil rather than attacking the root or at least a deeper branch.

In my worldview there are two principles that I think are fundamental to a well functioning community (a workplace is just that):

- Meritocracy. The kind where better ideas and actions get more consideration. I'm thinking in terms of basic virtues here: loyalty, rationality, empathy, courage, cunning. Potential rewards and incentives should align but should always be in service of outcomes and not the goal in of itself. This is material/knowledge focused.
- Consensus. To keep a peaceful, sustainable, fair, productive environment one needs a process to reconcile differing views and interests. Open communication, democracy, agency. This is people focused.

When a community doesn't follow these principles then it eventually degrades, becomes brittle and rigid until it crumbles under its own weight or a counterforce (such as a union) is formed. But what should happen is a disentanglement of power into meritocracy and consensus.

Funny enough, I am actually not sure if even that is true in the way you're imagining. Bear in mind such a variable would be a constexpr inline template... which would be kind of its entire point. To violate ODR with it you'd not only have to implement your::is_constructible_v, but also use the resulting value in a non-constexpr context (I think [1] alludes to this)... which would be a rather bizarre use for a type trait called 'is_constructible_v'.

Anyway, this discussion is dragging on forever, so I'm just gonna stop here and wrap this up with the following:

As I see it, the only realistic way you could ever generate a buggy program with this is if you're getting nerd-sniped and desperately trying to come up with a counterexample in response to someone's challenge on HN. For practical purposes I see it as a non-issue.

The alternative is not "no card" it's "don't buy a top of the line card"

Every expensive product with potential commercial use has this situation. Anything you can easily make money with has a price that reflects it. People who want stuff for limited use cannot justify those kinds of prices so they have to buy older stuff, lesser stuff or stuff that needs effort/time dumped in in order to work.
It's pretty obvious by looking at that code that it's something weird going on. I don't think anyone would look at it and say "it's ok".

There is such an idea of a greater connection between Slavic nations called Pan-Slavism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-Slavism).

When it comes to "one country" - the USSR aimed at that, and from the perspective of hundreds of millions of people, it wasn't the best idea.

Plus, I think that ethnic states are one of the worst inventions of the 19th century, which accelerated a lot after WWI & WWII. I prefer cities where e.g. 1/3 were Polish, 1/3 German, and 1/3 Jewish (as for my pre-war hometown) rather than monoliths. Even in the middle ages, cities had multiple languages and cultures (e.g. German-speaking for trading cities in Slavic and Baltic countries). Right now, even in many multicultural cities, it is often implicitly assumed that there is the "default language" and an ethnic/national/cultural majority.
I went to a Waldorf school that was incredible for me. The same school today is a disturbing little cult with a few roads on campus named for my former teachers and administrators. I love the potential of Waldorf (and Montessori, too!) but some of those parent communities are a toxic mess.
But they did not have unfettered access to the whole region. I think the gameplan is to just acquire the whole region and then keep tab on every direction, north, south, east and west of the Black Sea. They also get to be the gatekeeper in that area, being the dominant(?) player.
Щ is indeed read as "sht" in Bulgarian, but in Russian it would be read as a softer "sh" or mix between "sh" and "ch". If anything, maybe it can just be dropped in favour of plain "sh"?
