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).

It's a pity we don't get taught the concept of impedance way earlier, given how many different places it can be applied in. For example, it's really nice to be able to see that a kazoo is very similar to an amplification circuit that's clipping. (Your post reminded me of this, because the lightness of the foil is helpful there insofar it makes for better impedance matching with air.)
@fontes Ah, so the stick's position controls the scroll speed?
What kind of scrollwheel are you using? (IIRC PMW3389 can't detect rotation around the point it looks at, and you seem to have only one of them, so it doesn't seem to be using ball spin)
We have various ways to indicate emphasis in text, but we don't seem a generally understood way to indicate uncertainty/slight inaccuracy/... If we had such, would you think that using it to point out knowingly-incomplete abstractions were useful or maybe too noisy?
@mcc @Bigshellevent
I wonder how common that is in Japan. I'm pretty sure I was once in a different town that did that (different, because I wouldn't describe the art as being in the fields).
@sophieschmieg @erincandescent
Do you mean for encryption, signing, key exchange, or some subset?
@niconiconi was it you who described how high ESR of large electrolytic caps after something like a buck converter helps prevent voltage oscillations?
I'd not be surprised if there were various hydrates there, but I don't think that alone would explain how the crystal grows on the end that's far away from the liquid, or would it?
I would be extremely surprised if I could get mass transport through a crystal where all the liquid was bound into hydrates. After all, I can't see how I can get mass transfer without having ions dissolved in the liquid, which can't work then (right?).
Do you mean left as in more redistribution towards a wide group of people, or that and also more freedom from traditional social structures?
I put a safety pin (which I falsely thought wasn't stainless, apparently) in a bit of brine in a mug and left it for 2 weeks on my desk. The mug ended up covered in salt crystals from the level of brine up to the edge, and even a bit beyond the edge. My only hypothesis how the salt gets transported to grow this crystal layer is as brine, through the crystal (which must be wet via capillary action). The surprising thing is that I can barely notice the crystals on walls are conductive (which a colleague suggested to me as a test for whether the crystals are moist) -- if I use my multimeter probes stuck <5mm apart, I sometimes get ~15MOhms. I haven't gotten around to measuring conductivity more properly (using contacts of larger surface area, looking at more of the V/I curve, etc.).
Another interesting thing is that the crystallized thing on the walls seems to have at least two layers of different structure. I haven't tried to figure out why yet (one hypothesis that I have is that it's related to the brine being made from iodized salt).
@wolf480pl I used a shortlived system that for some reason had an equivalent of vimpager set as the pager for manpages.
@delroth I'm curious how soon they will send an abuse complaint to themselves or their provider (assuming they have more than one).
@deep Poza tym nie wygląda na to, że podgrupy do badania były wybrane zawczasu (na szybko nie znalazłem stwierdzenia, żeby tak było, a narracja trochę sugeruje przeciwnie, przeplatając opis wyników z opisem tego jakie jeszcze rzeczy wyciągali z tych danych), więc to może być przykład na https://xkcd.com/882/
I'm not OP but I'd rate Orbiter and Children of Dead Earth highest.
The text of SESTA I could find (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1865/text) doesn't seem to have any such effects. Do you have a reference that mentions that effect?
@ruuda Maybe some zeroes get interspersed inbetween actual samples?
