@b0rk Especially that you can manually manipulate the remote ref, and then there's no way of telling what that means.
What does "please use your device's built-in loudspeakers" mean for people using a desktop computer? (I use a desktop and _have_ no speakers: I exclusive use headphones with it.)
My own experience is that games nearly always work with proton, and when they don't it's not because of something that needs to be tweaked, but some bullshit like extremely invasive anti-cheat that won't work on Linux at all. I had the latter experience once (or twice, I'm not sure) out of ~100 games on Steam I've played.
I'm not really the target demographic of your question (I don't use Windows since quite a long time). That said, https://www.protondb.com/ will give you a clue about runnability of games using Steam's Windows emulation stack.
Same thing with another poll: https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/112050034752815560
This time 3x.
Yup, only polls.
@patcharcana another search term to find episodes is "Sachgeschichten" (the show is 90% that and 10% animated shorts of the titular mouse doing something amusing -- those are called "Lachgeschichten")
If you want to avoid sadness, avoid the episodes (I think 3 in total) subtitled Nachkriegsmaus (they are about the life in just-post-WW2 Germany).
The fact that the opposite to “steerswoman“ is “figurehead man” is absolutely perfect, you definitely cannot expect a truthful answer from one of these.
In case you know German (even at a basic level), you might enjoy Sendung mit der Maus (a TV show for kids that shows how various things work/are made that's been running since 1970s).

Still happening, albeit with a smaller number of copies: I've got two notifications for end of the following poll: https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil/112048388768399462
Do you mean the guidelines at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Gender_identity#Current_guideline, or that they are not actually followed?
Ah, sorry, I wanted to ask whether "it's hard to guess how hard" applies to average or worst case or both.
How hard it is on average (averaged over instances), at worst, or both?
Currently checked out commit or a reference to it (depending on how it was specified when checking out). I expect e.g. `git checkout <file>` to pull that file from HEAD.
I'm not sure what happens if HEAD points at a ref and I modify that ref using an operation that doesn't normally affect working tree/index.
Ah, so when talking about controls effectiveness you'd have less/no qualms to consider probability of control failure under the assumption that the event it's against is occurring?
> I think the same safety lesson applies to security: improbable things happen all the time. It's more important to have robust failure modes.
The place where I don't see how to apply this is with code changes/code review -- after all any controls that are implemented in your codebase can be negated by changes to it, which might be improperly reviewed.
If you focus nearly exclusively on impact, how do you judge controls that mostly (only?) affect probability? (For example, most detection mechanism I can think of are imperfect, so they have a range of potential impact reduction between "down to 0" and "no reduction", with some nonnegligible probability assigned to "no reduction".)
Totally agreed on motivations of attackers.
One reason why I think talking about malicious actors makes sense is that in some scenarios you will have actors who unwittingly help the attacker. Their expected range of behaviour is part of the threat model, so they should be mentioned somehow while being distinguished from the attackers (who are unconstrained in their range of behaviour save for things they can't do).
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).
