Bouldering is not a barefoot activity. Bouldering (and climbing) depend on special shoes.
The smell in a climbing or bouldering gym is because many climbers (and most climbers above a beginner/intermediate level) are probably taking OFF their shoes when not actively climbing. You do this outside, too -- the shoes are TIGHT and pretty uncomfortable to stand around in, so you only wear them when you're on the rock.
Climbing and bouldering are pretty intense, though, so you will get sweaty. And you'll sweat in your shoes. And the shoes will get stinky. Shoe stink is often somewhat contained if your foot is still IN the shoe, but if you take them off everyone gets to enjoy the aroma.
Unlined leather shoes handle the funk the best. OTOH, shoes with uppers made of textiles, especially when lined, end up being de facto bioweapons. I am not cursed with especially stinky sweat or feet, but I had a pair of fabric-lined climbing shoes that had to ride in the trunk going to and from the gym or the crag because having them inside the passenger compartment of the car was absolutely untenable.
Yoga, OTOH, is done barefoot. People often show up very minimal shoes. There's a sweat smell in many yoga spaces, especially hot yoga spaces, but it's not the funk associated with shoes.
My go-tos for outdoor climbing were La Sportiva Mythos, which never got too stinky because (I think) they were unlined leather so retained less moisture & funk. However, the laces made them less attractive for the shorter routes in the gym, so I branched out.
I just looked at the LS site, and it's been so long I recognize nothing aside from the current iteration of the Mythos. The biohazard shoes I had were from someone else, maybe 5.10? Maybe they were UFOs?
Nothing in 5.10's lineup looks familiar to me, but apparently they were acquired by Adidas in 2011, which probably explains it.
My stanky shoes were all black with some grey accents, and closed with velcro, which made them ideal for the gym. I wore them outside exactly ONCE, to a place near Austin. They were fine until I got above the trees, and the sun started BAKING MY FEET. They got super super hot in the sun, which was very uncomfortable and relegated them to gym-only climbing thereafter.
All of the velcro katanas I've ever owned ultimately ended up pretty stank. I think its the textile lining. Meanwhile, my Muira VCS have stayed pretty clean. My Muira Lace, not so much.
A more common example for me at work is getting a response from url. Then you gotta process it further like response.json() or response.header or response.text etc etc. and then again select the necessary array index or doc value from it. Giving a name like pre_result or result_json etc etc would just become cumbersome.
I usually write code to help local debug-ability (which seems rare). For example, this allows one to trivially set a conditional breakpoint and look into the full response:
The fact that the first response is immediately overwritten proves to the reader it's not important/never used, so they can forget about it, where a temp variable would add cognitive load since it might be used later.
and I think is just as clear as this:
response = get_response().json()
This motivated by years of watching people through code, and me working with deeply non-software engineers, and is always very much appreciated.
> The fact that the first response is immediately overwritten proves to the reader it's not important/never used, so they can forget about it, where a temp variable would add cognitive load since it might be used later.
I strive to write code that reduces cognitive load. To me, putting it in a temp variable is more of habit of old languages, mixed with a bit of cargo cult.

If you do want an intermediate variable, naming it non-deceptively will reduce cognitive load. If you don't want one, that's fine too. There's no deception with a name that doesn't exist.
No, the result of a calculation could be a key value or list or other compound value - whatever the result is. I am getting hung up on deceptive naming. If you have a 'result', the calculation is done. You have a result.
True, but more and wider references seems to imply better when I’m not sure that’s true. Wikipedia is edited and it’s sources are curated. I think that’s a good thing.
Larry Sanger, the person who accuses Wikipedia of "smear campaigns against conservatives" [0] and begs Elon Musk to investigate whether members of the administration are contributing to Wikipedia [1] and to immediately defund them. That Larry Sanger.
Yes. You can find his accusations of smear campaigns against conservatives and his evidence to support it in the link in the comment you just replied to.
Also:
“Wikipedia co-founder here. May I ask you to determine what branches of the U.S. government—if any!—have employees paid to edit, monitor, update, lobby, etc., WIkipedia?”

Perhaps folks think that is not a "valid point" here because it is off topic, seeking to distract from the topic of whether this particular guilty person should be punished.
Saying "so and so did it too and nothing happened" may be correct, but doesn't address the topic. If you're saying that, how does it apply to the topic (the Binance founder)?
Are you saying that you're ok with the other people getting away with it, and thus you're ok with this guy also getting away with it via this purchased pardon?
Or are you saying those other people should have been punished, and thus this pardon was wrong to sell?
It’s of course on topic to talk about the bigger picture of whether people in general are charged with these specific types of crimes or should be.
I hate the whole fallacy callout stuff in general. God didn’t create them, half barely work, none work in every situation, and they’re just abused to death by people to shut down conversation in a shallow way.

Without tying it back to the topic like that, the reply is only tangentially related, like replying "I go to a bank" to any topic that mentions or involves banks. Like, ok, great, at least it's not insulting posters, but not super constructive in discussing the topic (the Binance founder's crimes and pardon).
Yeah, it does seem unfair. However, it's important to note that you must have these controls, and Binance didn't. The effectiveness of these controls is not the point (sadly).
This is a super, super low bar. One can meet the BSA requirements by sending every transaction to the regulators, but Binance didn't even do that.
And we're ok with murdering dozens of people that might maybe have some kind of drugs on them? In peacetime? Without evidence? Outside of our own territory/water?
We're lucky Venezuela hasn't attacked us back yet.
And even if they were smuggling drugs, what if there were children on board? Do they deserve to die because of the crimes of their parents? What if they kidnapped someone and forced them to pilot the boat? Does that person deserve to die?
Imagine the US instead pulling the ship over and shooting every person, regardless of age or guilt, in the head—and then leaving. This is no different.
"Today's defensive action we have taken demonstrates the first step to discourage these unmarked foreign terrorist attacks against our civilians. It is our duty to protect our people, which we will continue to do against the rising numbers of offensive boats assaulting us."
I imagine sooner or later, they will stop our black ops boats from shooting people.
Dictators, like Maduro (and wannabe dictators), are notoriously coward. They won't risk their life against an enemy that will certainly bomb them from afar, but they would happily risk their whole country if that kept them safe.
Hell, even Trump wouldn't be that bold if he didn't know Venezuela has no will, or means, of putting him at risk.
According to his Wikipedia page, his downfall was the loss of the capital island of the Falkland islands. He was a true military dictator, abuses and all, but he might have understood that losing the Malvinas would be the end of his regime.
In that case, going against UK in an unwinnable war was a way to preserve his regime, as long as no bombings were made targeting him, so he could still protect his life. UK is not as ruthless in war as, say, USA or Israel, IMO that was a calculated risk to prolong the end.
Your doubt in US intelligence and military capability shows. Venezuela attacking US assets would result in swift, almost instantaneous elimination of the threat.
The speed boats hauling ass in international waters are known smugglers on known routes using customized craft only drug smugglers use.
Policy of vaporizing these boats with weapons is both a) fairly effortless target practice for our military and b) puts major financial strain on that drug cartel operation.
Yes, I doubt. The US intelligence has invented intelligence plenty of times in the past, and I absolutely do not trust that particular shadow branch of ICE.
Even if what they say is true, destroying boats with people on them without proof is wild.
The intel is correct, as fentanyl is currently considered an extreme top priority threat to eliminate by the government (due to this being on ongoing operation, information given will be limited.) If this were some false flag or CIA op they'd just stage the boats getting blown up rather than destroy random innocent boaters. There's enough chain of command between the missile and the brass that this action would be executed correctly and with precision.
