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).

That has a weird effect where you cannot repush a commit that was there already, if it got gced in the meantime, and where e.g. accepting a pull request might work differently depending where the source branch is (because it either does or does not involve adding the commits).
SSH certs can expire. What should happen if a commit is signed with a key that had an expiring cert attached? Should we outright reject it (because the signature will become "invalid" for some meaning thereof in the future), accept if it's valid now, accept if it's valid at its stated commit time (and maybe enforce that commits are younger than their parents), or something else?
@mjg59
How does that support in git handle expiry?
@foone Sometimes the device will accept both, or will want AC.
@dunkelstern Huh. I think we had an accidentally grown nut tree that started having single nuts within something like 5 years, but random sources agree with you, so I probably misremember. Thanks.
I wouldn't be so sure. You can get a new one out of this one if only you provide some soil, light, water and wait.
@rephlex00 absolute basics that I found not obvious btw: grab the blanket so that your hands are shielded from the fire and hold it spread out in front while approaching the fire; if using an extinguisher against a fire in a can/basket/hole walk around it so that fire doesn't hide on the near side. If the fire is larger than ~office wastebasket and no people are in danger, escape and alert the fire brigade instead of extinguishing. If able, keep a reserve of the extinguishing agent in case the fire starts back up.
@rephlex00 similarly, learning how to use a fire blanket or an extinguisher (and when not to) can be very useful and the basics take not much more than an hour.
@lauren As a good rule of thumb, a random idea that wants to make social/people-affecting things more uniform that I can come up with is often one that has been tried either by the First French Republic or the Soviet Union.
Ah, so this is why the US has so many drivers -- after all not everyone wants to text /s
@grrrr_shark
a "fun" thing is that, in face of participants who have blocked you/your instance, this is not even in principle possible (because inReplyTo is a singular field and there's no equivalent of email References header).
I assume you meant to say that those who want it more will pay more for it (otherwise, well, yes? people who don't want a good will not pay for it by definition, ones who do want it will pay something, so they will pay more).
What I find hard to reason about in this area is comparing how much _different people_ want something. I can tell how (in a world of perfectly honest and omniscient people who will answer all questions) to tell whether one person wants X more than Y ("what would you do if you could pick one of them only?"). Do you have a candidate definition (or something that points in the direction of one) for comparisons of wants between different people?

@mia there's also https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk; note however that it's strictly single-user

For some stupid reason I thought that you can do a few "steps" of Grover in parallel (as in starting from not copies, but entangled copies of the previous step). This is not trivially possible though, and the paper @filippo pointed out claims to prove that it's impossible (as in, that oracle search with a quantum oracle has to be at least sqrt(search space size) oracle invocations deep).
