whitequark: worse, MATLAB
<Ellied>
The Physicist's JavaScript
<UmbralRaptor>
Is the MATLAB doing data processing, or talking to hardware?
<Ellied>
both.
<Ellied>
and technically it's Octave, which makes it better in some ways and worse in others.
* UmbralRaptor
meeps.
<UmbralRaptor>
Uh, depending on the degree of hardware control.
<Ellied>
Octave has a nice enough package for serial access.
<Ellied>
one of the grad students spent the last year or so writing an SPI library for Octave (with RPi stuff in mind) so we have that now
<Ellied>
You have to learn MATLAB as part of the physics curriculum here, but I've taken to doing everything in Python unless I'm told explicitly that it has to be done in MATLAB, and have done a surprising number of assignments that way
<Ellied>
I'm exaggerating, I don't actually hate MATLAB. At least not as much as I hate JavaScript.
<Ellied>
The whole "interpreted, readable code that does fast matrix operations" thing is pretty cool.

egg, considering the price of the keycaps and the price of the full-kebab, it seems like they have a pretty good pricepoint for MX. Difficult to say without knowing the quality vs. other industry players
<UmbralRaptor>

SnoopJeDi: yeah, pricing for a keyboard with cherry MX tends to be at least 100 USD

"stock" is kind of a catchall for raw machining materials, tubestock is tube you can order in quantity
<SnoopJeDi>
generally sold as dimensioned in imperial units (above a certain size)
<SnoopJeDi>
so if you want an X mm pipe and the dimension is not absolutely mission-critical (and you want it to be in the raw material instead of machined to that dimension), you're gonna pay out the nose for it
<SnoopJeDi>

SnoopJeDi: didn't Prey come out in 2011 or something?
<SnoopJeDi>
There was a game by that name around then yea, but it's unrelated except in name
<SnoopJeDi>
There was a Prey 2 in development hell, which got canned, and the IP transferred hands and they decided to keep the Prey name but nothing else
<SnoopJeDi>
(which is funny, because Prey itself was in some sort of development hell since basically the 90s)
<SnoopJeDi>
the original design docs for portals and blah blah were in the glory days of 3DRealms IIRC
<SnoopJeDi>
(game industry history is neato)
<Iskierka>
they sorta kept some conceptual stuff of the original prey with the aliens and weird stuff in a space station, but it wasn't that popular and a sequel would probably be weird, even though the idea would do well
<SnoopJeDi>
yea only the faintest whiff of any relation can be had
<SnoopJeDi>
looks like a cool game though
