Wait, C has *defined* behavior?
<bofh_>
still amused at that time I got a bad burn on my hand due to my own damn fault and it kept hurting way too much so I went and shocked my hand with 10kV @ 60Hz AC and that took care of the problem for a few hours.
<awang>
😱
<QualifyingRaptor>
awang: silly reasons. Apparently you can so USB shenanigans but more so.
<bofh_>
basically hyperpolarizing Nav1.8-containing neurons for a bit via the most bruteforce method possible.
<QualifyingRaptor>
😨
<bofh_>
(ofc I had no idea about the mechanism then, just remembering that the last time I shocked myself accidentally via the same Jacob's Ladder my entire arm was numb for hours)
<awang>
bofh_: What are you doing that involves getting shocked by a Jacob's Ladder multiple times?
<bofh_>
awang: the first time I had the rods positioned too far apart for the ambient humidity and the initial arc wouldn't form, I thought I had unplugged it then when I went to grab one of the electrodes (actually an unbent coathanger) and, well, it wasn't.
<bofh_>
the second time was intentional, I used a brief electrical shock as an analgesic :P (it worked)
<awang>
I can see it now
<awang>
Operating theatre with a giant sparking Tesla coil
<awang>
Either way, sounds... fun
<bofh_>
so I was a bit of an idiot and a halogen bulb that was lit for hours burned out, so I turned off the light fixture and tried to pull it out, forgetting that glass has a fairly nontrivial heat capacity.
<awang>
Nice
<awang>
Is that where the burn came from?

So, did you know that `sed -i '' **/*` apparently replaces symlinks with copies of their destinations?
<Ellied>
speaking of abusing ports, am I right in my assessment that sticking a USB-C plug (or any other similarly-shaped bit of metal) in a USB-A socket and shorting the Vbus rail to one or both of the data lines will damage the bus?
<Ellied>
I hope not but going off of what scanlime told me months ago on the bird website...
<bofh_>
awang: yes to the burn, wat to the sed command.

21:11 <@egg|zzz|egg> bofh: at least they're not normal or sufficiently regular <- and not, say, T4½?

btw, why on earth are they called "vulgar" fractions in the Unicode spec anyhow?
<egg|zzz|egg>
ferram4: okay so I think our version tags are actually stupid-safe
<awang>
egg|zzz|egg: Famous last words :P
<egg|zzz|egg>
I mean in the sense ferram4 mentions
<egg|zzz|egg>
ferram4: they are CCYYMMDDhh-$mathematician
<egg|zzz|egg>
(why am I using ISO 8601:1988 instead of ISO 8601:2004, I meant YYYYMMDDhh)
<ferram4>
Do not trust it.
<egg|zzz|egg>
ferram4: otoh we do have separate downloads for 1.3.1 and 1.2.2
<egg|zzz|egg>
so that might get fun :-p
<ferram4>
You will trust it.
<ferram4>
And then something will happen that you expected not to because you thought they were sane.
<ferram4>
And you will start to rip out your hair.
<egg|zzz|egg>
oh I definitely don't expect sanity from them
<egg|zzz|egg>
or from anywhere really
<egg|zzz|egg>
working in i18n has greatly lowered my expectation of sanity
