How you manage the climb can be quite an individual challenge too.

Picking an incline I've traversed a few times in trail running events, up to highcliff nab near guidsborough which is about 170m climb over ~800m distance, you'd need to go up and down 56 times which I think is eminently doable (though far from easy) between sleep periods. I'd need a few leg rest breaks! While I'm certain I could physically do it, whether I could face the idea of actually doing it is another matter: endurance challenges can be a mental game as much as a physical one.

If you skip the steepest part and do between the bottom and the track to Sutton that is ~100m height over ~550m distance, I think that would actually be more manageable though you miss out on the view from the top each time.

Depending on your training for climb you might find it much easier to do a less steep incline, climbing the same amount over a longer distance possibly in a similar time, though for an Everesting challenge going steep feels more right.

I'm thinking about this too much. I might be in danger of setting myself up for an Everesting challenge. I wonder how many times I'd have to go up & down the hill up to the local University…

----

Edit: hmm, that little hill is only 14m over 500m apparently. I'd have to cover 632Km and the longest I've ever done in one go is 129 (80 miles), that with just ~800m total ascent. Maybe this is not nearly as do as doable as I first thought! Maybe I'd do better going shorter & steeper. When the lungs have recorded from what covid did to them I might have to try train myself up for it.
Yes, but even if I had monster computer "instant vs 30 seconds" wouldn't be irrelevant.
> One way in which it is useful, is that you can tag your build artifacts (like docker images) with the commit id in the development branch, and just re-tag them when you want to promote the artifact to main or production, or whatever.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

The development build artifacts are useless afterwards, you can't "promote" an artifact from development to main without rebuilding unless you're basically the only person working on it, as the integrated behaviour (and thus the corresponding artifacts) can differ from the pre-integration ones.

The only situation where you could reuse the development artifacts as-is with no risk is if the branch is fast-forwardable. Which the integration could just take in account by not rebasing branches which are already rebased.

> potentially producing an entirely different artifact which might differ from the one you just tested and validated on your development branch.

You need one anyway, even if the development branch validates it still has to be validated post-integration as it may fail at that point.

> [1] Unless you back-fill that information after merge, but the workflow is getting really convoluted at this point.

Is it? All of it is easily automatable. Why are you limiting yourself for things the computer takes care of?
There was a similar challenge in France recently - we were limited to 1h of outside exercise in the radius of 1km around your home during the Covid lockdown.

The challenge was to do as much vertical ascent as possible under those condition (granted, the conditions were very dependent on where you live).

Such a stupid idea, but so much fun !
This is from "Engineering with Rosie". Rosie's thesis was on wind turbines.

TL;DW:-

On-shore, transport can impose practical limits to size.

Off-shore, it's a race between manufacturability/maintainability (smaller is less awkward, can use cheaper materials) versus minimising overhead costs (wiring, etc.). Off-shore sizes still trending up.

My train of thought is similar, but a bit more naïve: As the generation who grew up on these classics gets into influential positions, they want to produce things similar to what they liked. But a demand-side explanation like yours is more realistic than a supply-side one.
That’s not the point they’re making, I think - they’re giving praise and kudos to the post above, saying they’re better than “very average” if they’ve pulled off that ascent 6 times
In my experience the main problem with the normal gdb UI is the formatting of long templated function names or types.

Funnily enough, no GUI attempts to solve that issue.
I'm questioning your ability to predict future improvements in performance on one task based on experience with a different task.
That is not a strawman argument, that is what routinely happens in development branches.
Perhaps not but the average cyclist isn't going to ride for 24 hours straight or whatever is necessary for a climb with a lower gradient either. Anyway I was only responding to GP's suggestion that their own effort was achievable by an average cyclist.
Yes, I expected goal-post moving in line of "even if a single beat is AI-generated, the entire song counts for AI-generated".

Or, the more likely one, in this case, "the first draft of the beat was AI-generated, then human-edited and the vocals were by the singer but they were processed, so it's AI-generated". Typical singularitarian bullshit.

The current sanctions and weapons have nothing to do with nukes, the west can go much harder on both if they wanted.

If you thinking Russia using a nuke wouldn’t cause there country to collapse internally due to the response your kidding yourself.

Russia has been threatening nukes for 8 months now and people have repeatedly crossed whatever line Russia drew in the sand.

That’s because Russia doesn’t want to nuke anyone cause they know the response will be devastating, what Russia wants to do is threaten nukes to get there way.
The watershed is a good example that supports my point.

We have law that says "don't advertise to children", and that's quite tricky so if a beer company says "we only placed ads in programmes that aired after 9pm which had adult themes" they're in the clear. If they place ads in shows at 7pm that are aimed at families they're in trouble.

The YouTube version is the channel saying "I have no idea who watches my channel because YouTube won't and can't tell me", advertisers saying "We advertise with YouTube, we expect them to place the ads responsibly, and we can't rely on YT analytics because COPPA means many children watch while logged into a parents account" and YouTube saying "we don't care, it's entirely the responsibility of the channels and advertisers".

It's this last "we don't care" bit that is causing problems. As the watershed example shows you don't have to have a bullet proof solution. You just need to make some good faith attempt to create conventions around ad placement that reduce the numbers of alcohol ads being served to children.
Is there a complete list? I can think of systemd.

Wait, so is this because you want to feed back the generated power to the grid?

Such decisions would be documented in the commit log. Optionally linked to an expanded version off-log (e.g. mailing list threads, issues, tickets, ...)

The tone of the comment you replied to is clear, however the strongest interpretation of the comment would look something like my sibling comment to yours.

It seems sensible, ordinary, and just, that his will would be for his kin and handlers to maximise their financial well-being.

I know that's certainly how estate is ordered: for the financial best interests of my heirs, and the best interests of myself in handling my end-of life period.

We are all terminal. Plan ahead.
Next cloud doesn’t come with the chromebooks, or the educational tools that we’ve already paid for though.

I think you have to look at it from a bigger picture. We could technically use Linux, next cloud and something not office365, but who would operate and maintain it? Almost none of the IT staff in the public sector (or in my case the entire country) knows how to operate these things, and a major part of them don’t want to learn because they can just leave for a better paying job with AWS or Azure in the private sector. The teachers and other employees know how to use office365 and Google education because they have used it all their lives. The developers making the education software similarly know how to do so on these platforms.

I get that someone needs to make the first move, but if it’s going to be done this way, where the schools themselves are punished for decisions they don’t make. Which is essentially what happens when a city is told it cannot use the chromebooks it has already bought or the educational plans that they have laid out for the year. So in order to protect the educational data from google (again, only in the one city that fucked up their paperwork and not all the other cities using google education or chromebooks) that city is going to have at least a year or schooling broken, and will have to find the money to pay for new options. Money that means even less teachers.

If you can think of a faster way to lose public support for the GDPR in general than that, then I’d applaud you, because I sure can’t.

Mean while, the same data protection agency that banned the chromebooks removed the option from parents to avoid having institutions upload photos of their children to a national app run in AWS.

Or in other words, if the legalisation thinks it can move the EU forward through punishments, then I think the EU is going to wake up without member states because nobody is going to want to pay for it with nurses and teachers.

There were long periods were it barely beat inflation and some were it didn’t even do that.

e.g. it took 30 years to recover to 1929 levels, then also 30 years to reach the 1960’s peak, in 2010 it fell to mid 90’s levels (all inflation adjusted).

So yes, you’re right but it depends on how long you can wait. Over 50-60 years you should be fine. 20-30 who knows, if you’ve entered just before a peak it might not recover within your lifetime.
Not to mention that Tcl also has an article about how it's been misunderstood, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4920831 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31129936 :-)
Yeah and I think those sorts of use cases are valid. I just thought the comment above was more about the SF depictions of VR (i.e. the metaverse) being close, which I think is fanciful.

Regulations as everything should also be decentralised & deglobalised. You don't like law? Go to the region with a different laws restrictions or none. But nobody wants promoting invasion of one option on other making it an authoritarian default.

Seatbelts in 99% cases helps in 1% damages you including burning up alive.

With full freedom you learn responsibility & create organic institutions to educate others & learn choosing good over bad.

When you limit freedom you push people into state of mental disability to evaluate reality on their own & dependency on centralised arbiter.

Leaving slave mentality & jump starting own brain takes a while. Often requires generational replacement.

I'm all in for full information and detailed labelling, state institutions with objective studies & product stamping. But never for any choice limitation.

I want to choose the filters, with option of none, not being forced to use one.
I also want democracy with personal voting on each regulation & not being forced to vote for this or that package of things coerced into blindly accepting bulk of things attached to one thing i actually care about to change.

> your audience

There lies the spring coil. The less it is established what your audience is, the more you shift from "calibrated expression" to a form of expression which is as absolute and universal as possible. (See my previous post here, at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33045225 .) If you have a message for an audience, you will try and condition its expression according the audience; the more the audience is abstract, the more the expression will be unconditioned, as if intended for an ideal audience.
Fedora was pretty bad in my experience. Every major upgrade was a mess and left things in some sort of partial state. Had to reinstall everything to get a smooth experience again. Yum corrupted its own package database once. Do they even use it anymore?

Arch Linux has been perfectly stable for years on my laptop.

It was a long time ago I watched it, but weren't the orgies just implied?
At a previous job I also made that switch. We already were running Xen Orchestra, so the offering of XCP-ng was a blessing. Later on we replaced XenApp with a default Microsoft set-up as that worked just as well.

Took a trip down to memory lane and found this recent post which is very recognizable:

The steeper the better, so you dont waste time coasting or softpedaling or lose velocity to air losses.
Steepness is also good for the descent, getting you up to a good (terminal) velocity.

It also helps if the segment is straight such that you dont need to corner.

IIRC the ones who were competing for the record didnt make the effort/recovery trade off consideration, their limiter was the segment.

I dont think they've found a longer perfect segment yet apart from the one in GB.

But from what I#ve seen the optimal ratio was 3-4/1 asc./desc.
This chain is pretty wild to me. I don't know if I'm just too pragmatic, too close to people whose lives have been ruined by drugs, or too much of a big tech apologist - but it seems impossible to me to draw any parallel between drug dealing and working at Google. And I'm just talking ethically - to say nothing of legally.

Maybe I'm a consequentialist and you're more of a deontologist? I see a big distinction between "I lost my money, my home and eventually my life" and "I feel my privacy has been infringed on at a conceptual level in the pursuit of ad sales". Do you think there are Google products out there that are actually harmful and ruining people's lives in a concrete way? I would love to hear about how, if yes.

The other interpretation is you have a much higher estimation of drug dealers than I do. No dramas with people dealing pot or pills, I'm talking meth and heroin.
I would be cautious with such assumptions.

There is a good reason why Trident is alive and kicking, people just don't know about it. But it's the reason for more than 98% of exploits, because shitty software of Microsoft still uses Trident to render MSHTML based documents (office etc).

The same will be true for a traffic-observing webview2, for decades to come. And it will never be removed again, because of Microsoft's development philosophy.
One relatively straightforward countermeasure would be to feed your text through multiple rounds of machine translation using DeepL, Google Translate, and other similar services and applying corrections when necessary. That should break any personally identifying features in your original text.

That of course has its own risks, if you assume full government access to providers and unlimited surveillance capabilities. If you are fully paranoid you could even run your text through a local instance of (less accurate) Apertium[0] for the first few rounds, or even for the whole process if you find the result is different enough from your original.

To be fair they don't need Google Toolbar any longer as people just download their whole spyware suite these days, even if it doesn't tell you the page rank of sites - which was the main reason anyone technically competent would use the tool bar :-)
I've some money invested in shares. Most of them are down. I think just managing one job and studying part time is stressful enough. Everyone's circumstances are different. I personally need to invest more time into my health at this point. But you're absolutely correct. It's great if one could have time for both.
This is why I like HN. You open a discussion, you see other related projects that may be of your interest. Isn't it neat?

As a native speaker, it's very unpleasant to write like that. I will if necessary for effective communication, but it's like wearing a straitjacket. It can be awful to read, too. Rarer synonyms and the phrasal verbs (both commonly avoided in a simple style) are sometimes necessary to avoid excessive repetition.

It is one of the downsides of being a native speaker. I write pretty much like how I speak. It's hard to use it like a foreign language, but that's what technical international English feels like to me, in a way. In my experience, fluent second language learners master that style more easily than native speakers do.

I have been using the Beta with C#(Mono) since it's release 2 weeks ago on a VR prototype and I've found it very productive.

The rendering performance has significantly improved and there's a bunch of great new components - One new addition which was missing in 3.X is the 'Label3D' Node which enables you to render text in your environment, previously you had to project a spatial position to UI layer.

It's awesome to see Godot 4 come together.
It's definitely part of it, the fact that they are major contributors makes their work much more visible. There's some amazing contributions from Redhat employees like Pipewire.

I think all this recession talk is not good. Consumer confidence will affect recessions so planning for it like this makes it a certainty instead of a possibility. You should always have a risk averse financial plan, nothing happened as far as I know that requires a drastic change in financial planning by everyone.
This was hilarious, thanks for sharing!
Let me provide a simpler model.

If it's not driven by ad revenue (e.g. Search and, increasingly, Maps), helps Google maintain a grip on showing ads (Chrome and Android), or is critically used within Google (Mail, Docs, Calendar, Meet), it will be eventually shut down (looking at you, Cloud!).

Oh, and if it's a messaging app, it's on the chopping block from they day of launch.

It has some usefulness to people like me. Not that long ago I went through all gdb GUIs I could find to test them , but I found none I liked. Back then I missed the one that is mentioned by the top poster as well as the one linked above.

In general people who click on "a GUI frontend for gdb" might be interested in another front end. However, I have no knowledge, nor I endorse any of them. For what I know they both might be pretty bad, but it is nice to see people are trying to improve gdb's usability.

Having not found a good frontend GUI I eventually learned how to use gdb on its own, with its tui (a kind of console based multi-window "gui") as well as I've used emacs's gdb-mode a lot. Both are huge time savers and they are both really fast. To be fair the only thing that I can't do with them is to explore variables/memory via mouse point and click(one has to use the keyboard a lot) and I find at least for me my mind-mouse-point-and-click connection is a lot more seamless than mind-keyboard-command-type.
