How does it work with animals or nonhermaphroditic plants? Doesn't this give some information about your opinion of whether something is living/sentient/sapient?

(Polish had a similar distinction for some words in plural, where the declination depends on sapience. Cue two ways to declinate elves, depending on whether you think of them as people.)

@_dm I think one conspiracy theory of that shape is "and this is how they sell vitamins".

This speaks to them being more likely to incorrectly believe cops, not so much to them being incentivized to pretend to believe them. Or do I miss something?

@whitequark Sorry, my example was wrong (the weirdness in there was purely to handle rounding in negatives).

https://godbolt.org/z/WTajrPKze is an example with the additional weirdness I was thinking of.

@whitequark

All compilers I've seen can do this optimization. See for example https://godbolt.org/z/v34E58deK, which has the "add a fixup from the upper word of the multiplication result". The reason why it's necessary is that you don't actually want multiplicative inverse modulo 2^wordsize in the case when the input value is not divisible by the constant.

@ireneista my, I think favorite, realer variant of trolley problem is using coal to heat your home in a city. It pits you and family not being extremely cold against small increase in suffering/chance of earlier disability to all people in the city (via dust pollution).

@whitequark of I remember by the time I'm home in the evening I will get godbolt to spit out the more general case of this witchery

@whitequark try using different constants to suicide by; this is a special case of since mine and this approach usually requires a small correction afterwards (to the tube of conditionally adding one or something like that).

Or am I misreading and this is more witchy?

What incentivizes judges to pretend to believe them?

@bagder

I would understand this as saying "there are legitimate configurations which cause curl to reveal the password to a third party". If such a configuration exists, the third party can trivially get the password next time a request that triggers the bug is made.

Is there a separate field there for "likelihood of prerequisites"? (e.g. if we had a hypothetical vulnerability that gave RCE to anyone on the network but only if the timezone of the victim was set to Antarctic, how should that be assessed?)

@domi @kuba

W którym sensie publiczne? (Nie widzę sensu w którym one nie są, a np. autobusy MPK w Krakowie są.)

@ck @delroth

Then it would make sense to ask the person to do something equivalent to attaching the PDF, no?

> I don't enjoy action movies/books and fantasy anymore - because it's usually about preserving rotten status quo.

You might wish to know that the Steerswoman series (if you squint, fantasy; if you squint a few chapter in in a different way, fpvrapr svpgvba) is very much not about preserving status quo.

(But be warned that it's an unfinished series, though there's IMO a good chance of it being eventually finished.)

@_thegeoff Uh, isn't the cap drawn backward?

@_thegeoff

Ah, right, if the input voltage is below the junction drop voltage of the transistor the sourced current doesn't matter at all.

(I once wanted to detect mains voltage via an optocoupler and blown it in, I think, all possible ways due to transients while arriving at something workable that wouldn't continuously dissipate a few watts into a resistor.)

@_thegeoff

Ah, so it assumes that the input signal can only source quite limited current (otherwise I'd expect the transistor to potentially get blown by high current during turn-on transient: there's nothing in-circuit that limits the inrush current through input, capacitor, and transistor).

@_thegeoff Is the capacitor in series with the input or somewhere else?

Unless the transistor is a FET, I don't see how that can work with a single resistor (I expect a resistor in series with transistor's base is needed, as well as a resistor that will allow the capacitor to both discharge and charge).

@b0rk

gpm provided that functionality on text terminals (using mouse to select and to command pasting): https://linux.die.net/man/8/gpm

@munin Isn't this a similar case to 401k plan providers, who (I think, I haven't been in the US for >5yrs) don't advertise much, because in both cases they are usually selected by company owners?
