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).

I don't really have any suggestions (apart from the likely obvious warning to think about thermal stresses), but am curious how was it shaped into the ball shape in the first place.
Also, even for things that are beneficial, there are incentives to make them appear more beneficial potentially at the expense of actual benefit (c.f. various dashboard and extraneous-but-flashy functionality).
Do you think such incentives don't apply to internal security teams, or that they are (relatively) much weaker?
@mcc Unless it's a single tube portable AC unit I don't think it's ever impossible and I would be surprised if was impossible without tinkering.
@mcc can your AC be made not to ventilate, but only pass internal air through a heat exchanger?
The way this fails to match up with intuitive meaning of boredom is that it claims that white noise is the least boring thing possible.
<rhetorical>So how would they have people explain the shape of reentry vehicles?</rhetorical> (Which wouldn't be stable if most _braking_ wouldn't come from compression in front of vehicle.)
@kuba it's traditional to put up a flag of your origin on your ogródek działkowy in Switzerland
@cell what sounds do the three circles represent?
What's the mechanism that creates these apparent horizontal lines in the cloud? #meteorology
It doesn't listen on HTTP{S,} at all.
@WPalant I thought a common argument was "They are likely to fail to make something better while succeeding at making it appear better".

@isomer My teapot (or rather kettle that doubles as teapot) alerts me when it's done brewing.
@8petros Quite a few states allow for mailing or dropping ballots off earlier, which makes that simpler to accomplish.
Oh, and the onsen didn't object to presence of people with tattoos?
@freemo there are some toots that don't appear in my timeline (even though I follow people who publish them) and that give a "500" error with no additional descriptive text when I search for them using the search interface. An example is https://mathstodon.xyz/@johncarlosbaez/112772710128720822
What kind of editor affordances you use to help you format things the way you want?
