@b0rk huh, I must be mistaken about something because I thought that stash's reflog behaves normally. Thanks, will take a look at it when I'm next at something more computer-like than a phone.

@sophieschmieg well, if I have a PRF I can make all of cryptography out of it :P

But I do mostly get the concept. Are you intentionally including handshakes of any kind in the fancy part?

@sophieschmieg and beyond MACs, I suppose?

@b0rk

It's not obvious (and you probably already know this), but stash has its reflog, so failed pop doesn't destroy the thing you popped. Alas, it can destroy the changes in the work tree you popped onto.

@lcamtuf

Well, but are they really square? All approaches I can think of rely on sufficiently high amplification ratio of some subcircuit. Is that so very different from e.g. relying on sufficiently sharp lowpass filters?

@Brendanjones

There's some reason to care about own/own company's wealth instrumentally then: it allows it to benefit society more or, imo more importantly, allows it to continue doing so for longer by allowing it to weather larger disruptions. For the same reason preserving competitive advantage seems instrumentally desirable.

This all obviously assumes that spending wealth is necessary to get dinner services the company or its employees need, but I don't see how that could not hold in any world vaguely similar to current Europe.

Obviously that creates a rationalisation-inducing trap: how much wealth is enough? How do we weigh continued survival of the company (and thus increased fraction of companies that try to benefit society) against preserving secrets? (Or do we try to e.g. share them with other similar companies only?)

I'm curious whether you have a different viewpoint on this.

If it's in a different location for this night, it's a significant piece of evidence: it's carried by someone who spent each of these nights in a different place, which is atypical.

Similarly, it would be interesting to note that it's moving at night: this means it's with someone (or something) that travels at night, which is also atypical.

Did you explicitly ask that driver about potential shift changes at HBF? (I would not assume that drivers and conductors have same shifts.)

@Snowshadow@mastodon.social

Huh. My impression, when I read one of them, was that they recommended allowing children to face natural consequences of their actions (and adviced on how to make those nonpermanent) over imposing artificial ones and apart from that mostly repeatedly advised that one should treat a children like an adult that has some temporary disabilities. Is my impression wrong, or does your opinion apply to this?

I'm curious whether you have an opinion about UpToDate (or rather, whether you think it's included in your generic statement about materials from the internet).

@Snowshadow@mastodon.social

On reflection, I'm somewhat surprised that (apart from somewhat expensive UpToDate) there doesn't seem to be a resource for (not necessarily pediatric) patients comparable to Dr. Spock's books on child rearing. The likes of webmd are watered down (by not differentiating between very different probabilities or very different amounts of evidence various symptoms give). Only thing I can think of as being similarly useful are the NHS guides, but even they could be improved and are focused on explaining particular already-diagnosed injuries, illnesses, and consequences of procedures.

This obviously doesn't really replace a GP, but it could reduce their caseload and improve communications with patients (though this last might be a projection bias of mine).

@phos

Where is it at night? If it doesn't ping at night, is the area where it's in the evening somewhat consistent?

Whom do you mean by the driver? Driver of the train you lost it on, or a driver of one of the trains it was on?

I see that others already mentioned the possibility of it being the same train, but serving different services. How do you know what service it was on board of? (I don't know how often trains that pass through a station but don't have a stop there actually stop for a short while somewhere nearby anyway, or drive through very slowly in Austria.)
