I enjoy things around information theory (and data compression), complexity theory (and cryptography), read hard scifi, currently work on weird ML (we'll see how it goes), am somewhat literal minded and have approximate knowledge of random things. I like when statements have truth values, and when things can be described simply (which is not exactly the same as shortly) and yet have interesting properties.
I live in the largest city of Switzerland (and yet have cow and sheep pastures and a swimmable lake within a few hundred meters of my place :)). I speak Polish, English, German, and can understand simple Swiss German and French.
If in doubt, please err on the side of being direct with me. I very much appreciate when people tell me that I'm being inaccurate. I think that satisfying people's curiosity is the most important thing I could be doing (and usually enjoy doing it). I am normally terse in my writing and would appreciate requests to verbosify.
I appreciate it if my grammar or style is corrected (in any of the languages I use here).

GET LAMP, the documentary I created 13 years ago, is available for free, but the GETLAMP.COM website didn't make that clear. Now it does, linking to the Internet Archive's set of .ISO files.
@dpiponi I haven't had ~any experience with wireless charging, but did experience something similar with wired charging: if charging keeps stopping and starting (and operates at low power when it actually does), a phone can easily lose more energy on all the state changes that happen in software than it gains from the charger.
That said, this happened to me only when charging a device that was on.
Weisst du vielleicht, wie die geprobten gewählt sind? Ich vermute eine Stichprobe aus diese, die den Hausarzt besucht haben.
(Ich frage, weil es mir interessiert, wie die Covid-Anteil sich mit der Kräftigkeit von Symptomen verändert.)
Would a reliable spousal alimony (however much it resembles a sparkling unicorn in realism) fix the entrapment problem (but not any others you mention downthread)?
> Likely identifying a device.
I don't think it can identify an individual device, but rather the hardware revision and potentially versions of the software involved in the graphics stack.
Ojej, właśnie się zorientowałem, że jesteście dwoma różnymi osobami ^^* (piszę, bo strzelam, że inni mogli też się podobnie mylić)
@_dm Do you know that the infection is indeed Covid at the point at which you need to make the decision?
What also matters is the speed at which they can perform operations on those qubits, and which pairs of them can be made to interact (there are some setups where only adjacent ones can, for some graph -- IIRC most/all trapped ion setups were like that some time ago).
If you fix the current applied, any additional series resistance (e.g. resistance of skin, which depends on which part of the body it is and whether you have a cut there) doesn't change the current that passes through the heart. What does change it is any additional parallel resistance, which is barely affected by things outside of skin (potentially modulo the case of the person being dripping wet with saltwater or similar, which _reduces_ the current that goes through heart compared to a dry person).
@freemo And because the resistance of alternate pathways that do not cross the heart is also mostly person-independent.
In models with a bell it would also ring on underflow, which was an additional cue (other than a significantly larger force required to turn the crank and the sound of all the digits turning at once) during division.
polityka referendum
W Szwajcarii.
Nie ma progu. Wydaje mi się, że jest to umotywowane tym, że jeśli zagłosuje 3%, to znaczy, że całej reszcie jest obojętne, więc te 3% którym nie jest powinno decydować. (Istotnym jest to, że referenda są grupowane i głosowane raz na kwartał. Zwykle jest z ~10 różnych referendów (część ogólnokrajowych, część kantonalnych, część gminnych), więc zagłosowanie lub nie w jeszcze jednym referendum jest decyzją, która nie wiąże się z dodatkowym wysiłkiem.)
(W przypadku innych referendów w Szwajcarii nadal nie ma progu, ale czasami jest mechanizm progopodobny: referendum "przechodzi" tylko gdy na tak głosowała większość wyborców ogólnie, oraz większość wyborców w większości kantonów. To dziwne sformułowanie naśladuje kształt dwuizbowego parlamentu.)
Więcej o ordynacji referendalnej: https://www.ch.ch/en/votes-and-elections/votes/popular-majority-and-majority-of-the-cantons (pominąłem wyżej przypadek obywatelskiej inicjatywy konstytucyjnej z rządową przeciwpropozycją, który jest troche bardziej skomplikowany).
Więcej o rodzajach referendów: https://www.ch.ch/en/votes-and-elections/referendum/ (te o których mówie wyżej to są "optional referenda").
@bwaaaaak Du wirst es auf nicht ganz kleine Drehmomente aufsetzen (wenn es sich um fast geschlossene Pistazien handelt). Es wird wahrscheinlich nichts passieren, aber ich würde immer (über)vorsichtig mit Sicherheitsausrüstung vorgehen (ähnlich: Kletterseil nutzen um eine Kiste hochzuheben).
polityka referendum
Nie wiem czy kojarzysz koncept negatywnej inicjatywy ustawodawczej przez referendum: jeśli w ciągu vacatio legis (plus specjalne reguły dla krótkiego vacatio legis) zbierze się odpowiednio dużo podpisów przeciw ustawie, to vacatio legis jest przedłużane do najbliższej okazji do zorganizowania referendum, i ustawa wchodzi w życie wtedy i tylko wtedy gdy referendum przejdzie.
Es ist nicht sehr empfehlenswert dieses Gerät dazu zu verwenden: man soll die Spannungsproben nicht als Schraubenziehern nutzen, so dass die elektrische Verbindung bleibt sicher (und keine falsche negative Probeergebnisse auftreten).
@dpiponi I was really surprised that the movie depicted ornithopters as using bearings and joints to move wings: making wings deflect using compliant mechanisms would have provided a reason for using them instead of helicopters (abrasive dust would be less kind to joints and bearings than to compliant mechanisms which require no lubrication).
Ah, I see, you are proposing something that would still function as the "same open" for all intents and purposes but not share flags (or file pointers, but you mentioned that this would break appending to shared std{out,err}). I think I agree that sharing of O_NONBLOCK and other flags I can think of makes no sense.
I wonder why O_NONBLOCK is a FL-flag and not an FD-flag.
I don't mean that implementation requires that, but that I don't see what semantics you could assign to two independent opens of the same end of the same pipe.
(Actually, the problem is even worse with Unix sockets: server side was not created on request, so you can't really do anything other than moral equivalent of dup; client-side was not created via open() *and* the file/abstract name that was dialed could no longer be accessible.)
