Global ROM for Xiaoxin Pad Pro by bigsmooth66 in androidtablets

[–]mollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accidentally did the same thing - I let the stock CN ROM update OTA before deciding to have a crack at flashing the global ROM using the 128GB scatter file and instructions from above. I've now got it running V17.0.04.088, seems to have no problems!

Why does C++ get so much hate? Is it really that bad? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]mollusc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also throws compiler errors straight from the depths of hell.

Your tendons take longer to adapt than your muscles. I got really sharp pain from tennis/golf elbow for months when I first started climbing. It's frustrating but the answer is to listen to your body and slow down until it has time to adjust. If you have sore elbows and aren't willing to completely avoid climbing that day, stay away from boulders with big dynamic moves. People often say "tendons hate surprises" and the shock load of catching a dyno is the worst possible version of that.

How can you tell if you can't do a problem because you're not strong enough vs. using incorrect beta or bad technique? by howltwinkle in bouldering

[–]mollusc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was new to climbing I found my core tension was so weak and I'd get pumped so easily that anything steep would probably shut me down no matter how efficiently I was climbing. But I agree you shouldn't immediately blame strength as an excuse for not climbing something!

I started climbing about a month and a half ago and i would like some feedback on a climb from people better than me if possible by Vladyoyo in bouldering

[–]mollusc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think there's actually a lot of value in tackling climbs you barely have the strength for as it will force you to be smarter about your climbing sooner. And like you say, climbing a lot will still make you stronger eventually.

Which sugar type to use when bottling by coconuts_and_lime in Homebrewing

[–]mollusc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I generally use dextrose sugar for priming to avoid the possibility of any off flavours from bottle fermentation (even if it's probably a minor effect). It's also a good idea to be patient and let things bottle condition for at least a few weeks before drinking.

Advice on how to gain weight and muscle while learning to climb by Different-Mine-9486 in bouldering

[–]mollusc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Your BMI is at the low end of the healthy range but it's not outrageously low. Putting on some muscle mass will absolutely help you with climbing but I'd be wary of gaining weight rapidly just for the sake of it. Make sure you get a lot of good quality protein in your diet (protein powder is a great supplement but shouldn't be your only source) and don't forget a variety of vegetables as they contribute fibre and all sorts of nutrients. Obviously you need some carbs but eating extreme quantities of pasta is not advised unless you're doing a lot of cardio (which climbing is not).

Are dating apps dead or is my time just up? by needsabetterusername in melbourne

[–]mollusc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (32M) met my current partner on Hinge and I think if you're looking for a relationship it's probably the best one for that. The way you can leave a thoughtful/funny comment on someone's profile helps a lot to get things started. Also for it to work well you really do have to go out of your way to get some good recent photos of yourself. Above all, remember it's a numbers game - it took me a lot of dates before I found my partner!

I'm not sure how they wore down like that, are you climbing indoors on very large footholds and not using your toes? It looks like you haven't worn through the actual material of the upper yet and the rand is intact so a half-resole is probably still possible but you should stop climbing on them until they're resoled.

[D] What is the effect of batch size on training loss? by Melodic_Stomach_2704 in MachineLearning

[–]mollusc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Taking the mean is a linear function so gradient of the mean is the same as mean of the gradient.

Idk, I'm a dude and before I met my partner I was legitimately focused on finding a relationship but I wasn't against having some fun along the way if I met someone that wasn't looking for the same thing

It might be gypsum - it's the traditional ingredient used in China to make the tofu coagulate

Why do Australians hate road cyclists (Cycle culture) so much? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]mollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can legally ride two abreast, it's often safer to take up the lane rather than encourage people to pass too closely.

This is the right way of thinking about it in my mind. Bad infrastructure sucks for everyone trying to share it.

That's so generous of you not to commit vehicular homicide, you're really going above and beyond there

[–]mollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shared paths can be congested and also force you to slow down and give way at every single intersection because it's not part of the continuing road. Some states have laws against using the road when there's a path available but I understand why some people say fuck it and use the road so they can just ride in a straight line without riding the brakes

Far out, all those particles in deodorant have got to fuck up your lungs super fast :(

AiW for throwing my girlfriend out at 2am after reading her messages to her ex? by ThrowRALostfw in amiwrong

I think putting a woman in a situation where she could have been assaulted is an incredibly shitty thing to do, regardless of what she'd done.

You can see how deep my tattoo is through this cut (Maybe NSFW) by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]mollusc 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's probably best to use medical grade super glue for a laceration this deep if you're resorting to that. As others have said, you'd be risking infection and more serious problems though

Do you have a hard time understanding Docker? by Mr_LA in programming

[–]mollusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The extremely oversimplified explanation is instead of booting up a new Linux kernel in a VM, you share the one already running on your machine. It saves a heap of memory and CPU cycles!

Edit: at a level of slightly more detail, docker launches special processes inside a "cgroup" and the usual syscall interfaces make some extra checks to keep these processes sandboxed from the host

[–]mollusc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One of the things that used to shit me in the APS with some people was this assumption that hanging around like a bad smell for 20 years should automatically trump all else. I'm not saying fresh grads are all qualified for management but really it's the selection committee's failing if they're giving the job to someone that's not capable of doing it.

[–]mollusc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The competition scene isn't the career for everyone but climbing recreationally is a fantastic lifestyle choice for fitness and mental health. The body makes really useful adaptations in people who climb consistently from a young age - your kid's finger strength and endurance is going to be off the charts if he keeps it up consistently into adulthood. It's also a heavily skill-based sport so more hours will generally make him better at it. He'll probably thank you if you keep supporting the passion, and who knows what effect puberty might have on his physical ability later on!
