UmbralRaptor or whitequark or bofh_ - none of you would happen to be familiar with a connector that looks like SHV but has a really really long (like 4-5 cm) tube surrounding the pin, would you?
<GreeningGalaxy>
it has the same pin direction as SHV (inverted from BNC) and looks similar to SHV in most ways, it's just...long
<GreeningGalaxy>
that one took me a minute to process
<GreeningGalaxy>
I only have seen that connector in one place, on a cable whose other end is permanently attached to some big laser. I suppose it could be proprietary.
<GreeningGalaxy>
I have yet to find something for it to fit into even, although it's not hard to imagine what the other end would look like.
* UmbralRaptor
is not familiar, sorry.
<UmbralRaptor>
whitequark: for unclear reasons I'm reminded of seders I attended as a kid.

High Frontier has arrived!
<TonyC_>
hello
<UmbralRaptor>
e_14159: bringing mining jobs to the outer planets?
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: no, what's bad is that they're giving you rgb values without a colour space (but at least they're giving you pantone numbers, so there's that)
<UmbralRaptor>
color space is whatever monitors are calibrated to?
<UmbralRaptor>
Pantone numbers require $$$ for swatches.
<SnoopJeDi>
color space is a silly place
<Iskierka>
there's a few different colour spaces that are standard for monitors. Adobe's seem popular
<Iskierka>
is also $$$ but best option is really a colorimeter
* egg|zzz|egg
wonders whether whitequark's hand differ wildly in colours or whether the colorimetry is weird
<kmath>
<strowger78> @whitequark @mcclure111 spiders are in the same "endlessly interesting, always want to see more" category as cats
<egg|zzz|egg>
whitequark: also I guess I'd agree with wanting a piece of glass to look at spiders in general, but pholcids are fine if they keep to the ceiling
<egg|zzz|egg>
apparently there are none right now, but sometimes I have some above my bed

whitequark: I would prefer him being *only* in this channel

<SnoopJeDi>
GreeningGalaxy, ^ for some reason this makes me think of the possibility of Trump being an SCP
<egg|zzz|egg>
e_14159: ideally, neither outside nor inside of this channel; but we only have agency over one >_>
<e_14159>
Agreed.
<e_14159>
Speaking of wanting to leave the planet, did I mention my copy of High Frontier... wait, I did :-)
<egg|zzz|egg>
also, long week-end ahead, hopefully will get some principia work done
<e_14159>
*thumbs up*
<e_14159>
How's google?
<egg|zzz|egg>
for the moment, lots of onboarding presentations; started looking at codelabs, they're fun; lots of in-house tooling, things have to scale madly
<egg|zzz|egg>
also went through coffee training
<SnoopJeDi>
Do you know cara-fu?

e_14159: somebody eggsplains how to use the fancy espresso machines

<bofh_>
GreeningGalaxy: so the SHV connector has a plastic tube around the center pin, tho it usually doesn't protrude much beyond the edge of the connector.
<bofh_>
Is it similar in inner radius to a BNC connector or larger or smaller?
<UmbralRaptor>
egg|phone|egg: they did not
