<hattivat> egg: what's phl?
<egg> eggdad
<hattivat> ah, your dad?
<hattivat> yeah, I get it now, didn't know you had an abbreviation for him ;p
<egg> that's also his username at google, so he uses that in TODOs and the like https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=phl&type=
<egg> sadly I didn't get egg, so I'm eggrobin, and of course I keep writing TODO(egg) instead of TODO(eggrobin) at work https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=egg&type=
<egg> hattivat: also I learned about quotation marks as part of something I was looking into at work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Summary_table
<egg> hattivat: spoiler alert: we don't get those right, I want to look into that :-p
<hattivat> egg: I just checked which languages are supported by youtube, that's quite a list
<hattivat> egg: also quite a selection of scripts
<egg> „quotation marks are complicated”
<egg> »they are»
<hattivat> punctuation is complicated
<egg> ‹ja›
<hattivat> hellishly complicated
<egg> « en effet »
<egg> note the  
<egg> !u  
<Qboid> What code point do you want me to look up?
<egg> !u ' '
<Qboid> U+0027 APOSTROPHE (')
<Qboid> U+2009 THIN SPACE ( )
<Qboid> U+0027 APOSTROPHE (')
<egg> thin space \o/
<egg> oh btw APOSTROPHE is not the character you should use for apostrophes
<egg> RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is the appropriate one :D
<egg> !u ’
<Qboid> U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK (’)
<hattivat> thin space is missing from whatever font I finally settled upon for weechat ;p
<egg> (of course we don't get that right either)
<hattivat> but I'll trust you it's there
<egg> hattivat: actually that's incorrect
<egg> this should be a NARROW NO BREAK SPACE
<egg> not a THIN SPACE
<egg> you can't break between a guillemet and its contents (but you do need a thin space)
<hattivat> yeah, punctuation is hell
<egg> and NARROW NO BREAK SPACE is explicitly (there's a UAX mentioning that) the character for that
<egg> hattivat: especially the french spacing
<egg> hattivat: though CJK stuff is fun too
<egg> hattivat: and then you have people who think they understand punctuation
<hattivat> plus all the different rules that make it horrible if you try to generate sentences from tables of translated words
<egg> and think that <foo> is puctuation
<egg> !u <
<Qboid> U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN (<)
<egg> (spoiler alert, this isn't punctuation, ever)
<hattivat> when I learnt English punctuation, I accidentally un-learnt the Polish one
<hattivat> it's like my brain can only accept one set of rules for that at a time ;p
<egg> clippy: did you mean ‹, or 〈? :-p
<egg> !u ‹〈
<Qboid> U+2039 SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK (‹)
<Qboid> U+3008 LEFT ANGLE BRACKET (〈)

<soundnfury> !u ₤
<Qboid> U+20A4 LIRA SIGN (₤)
<soundnfury> I have been known to handwrite £ with that double-struck bar
<egg> hattivat: oh also from that quotation mark table, the name Лапки for „those“ is really cute
<hattivat> egg: that selection of scripts supported on youtube suffers from a critical defficiency of vertically-aligned ones
<hattivat> if you ever feel a need for more challenge, lobby your bosses to provide suppoort for Classical Mongolian
<egg> hattivat: mongolian?
<hattivat> egg: yep ;d
<egg> yes I talked to my tech lead about mongolian
<hattivat> although modern Mongolian is spelt in boring Cyrillic
<soundnfury> is that the language Ming the Merciless speaks?
<soundnfury> oh wait, that would be Mungolian
<egg> hattivat: yeah we have the modern one
<hattivat> egg: I see you even have Khmer, that's impressive
<egg> hattivat: but yeah, given the issues we have with RTL, I wouldn't venture mongolian too soon :-)
<hattivat> I remember not so long ago there was nearly no support for Khmer on computers
<egg> (like see for yourself on an english video with persian UI, it's kind of sad)
<egg> hattivat: also if you happen to be in ZRH I can give you a tour of the office, it's a nice place :-p
<egg> I think there's an office in varsaw, there were some nooglers in my batch that were based there (onboarding happens in zurich for them too)
<hattivat> egg: it sounds like google is a gentle overlord indeed
<hattivat> GSK would gut me if I offered you such a favor
<hattivat> although admittedly there wasn't much to see anyway
<hattivat> and thankfully I don't work there anymore
<egg> :D
<hattivat> well, actually there was something to see, a modern drug factory
<hattivat> ...but I didn't get to see it either ;p
<egg> hattivat: also, unrelated, Principia now has rendez-vous utils
<egg> the LVLH frame \o/
<hattivat> egg: well, that's major progress
<egg> I need to make screenshots of that for the docs at some point
<hattivat> egg: is there a way to calculate interplanetary maneuver nodes yet?
* egg now tends to associate screenshots with the screenshots for translator context >_>
<egg> hattivat: principia isn't a trajectory optimizer :-p
<egg> so you get into a convenient frame and nudge it til it looks right
<hattivat> egg: I know, I meant if any such tool supports principia's output
<egg> I don't think anybody's been insane enough to work with our libs
<hattivat> :D
<egg> that's actually not true, I got a mail from someone who wanted to write a utility for a scifi writer friend of theirs, to simulate some scenarii using our libs
<egg> we gave them some pointers, haven't heard back in a while though
<hattivat> that would be awesome

<Thomas> Yeah, I forced https on all my sites
<Thomas> I dont really need it.. but I wanted that shiny A+ rating xD
<hattivat> I hear these days even phishing sites use https :P
<hattivat> egg: I checked Persian yt, and it doesn't look that bad at first glance
<hattivat> egg: but at second glance... does it actually anything other than mirror everything?
<egg> hattivat: look for parentheses in comments
<egg> hattivat: well it does a lot of mirroring everything, that's the point
<egg> (except the player UI, which is probably intentional but weird)
<hattivat> oh mighty nyarlathotep, it mirrors punctuation for all languages
<egg> )yes so you get comments that look like this)
<hattivat> huh, that's clever, when I paste it here it reverts to normal
<egg> that's normal
<egg> it's Unicode bidi \o/
<egg> ( looks like ) in a RTL context
<hattivat> but still, looks bloody awful, even without me finding any parentheses yet
<egg> because it's opening paren, not paren-to-the-left
<egg> hattivat: wait what punctuation is it that you see mirrored that's not parens?
<hattivat> I am looking at Russian with Spanish-looking punctuation now
<hattivat> my eyes hurt ;p
<egg> uuuuuuh wat
<egg> hattivat: link?
<hattivat> ?Александр, использовали ли Вы в этой миссии СЖО-моды
<Soozee> Unknown command, try @list
<hattivat> that's what it looks like
<kmath> YouTube - Kerbal Space Program. RSS. Europa report.
<egg> aah, not mirrored, just at the wrong end of the sentence
<egg> yeah that's the Unicode bidi algorithm not having proper context
<hattivat> well, yeah, sure, the text is not mirrored
<egg> it assumes the main body is rtl
<egg> and contains ltr snippets
<hattivat> that's a rather big assumption
<egg> so the ? is the end of a rtl sentence
<hattivat> don't you guys have a language-detection kit like twitter does?
<egg> hattivat: yeah it's broken, but in a new UI it'll be fixed... (and new bugs will appear elsewhere)
<egg> hattivat: that's not even needed, you'd just need directionality detection
<egg> if the whole comment is ltr, then it's not actually a rtl context
<hattivat> egg: do Persians actually want all of their UI to be mirrored?
<egg> if it's mixed ltr and rtl, then it's hell, maybe fall back to the UI context
<egg> hattivat: that's what everyone does, so they likely expect it
<hattivat> I see
<egg> otoh the player isn't which is weird
<egg> because progress bars go rtl and the players plays ltr
<egg> but I think that's intentional?
<egg> maybe
<hattivat> I guess it's probably like which side of the road you drive on, you just don't think about it
* egg doesn't drive, and therefore thinks even less about it :D
<hattivat> neither do I, but I vividly remember the first few times I've tried to cross a road in Indonesia
<hattivat> note that traffic lights are an exotic sight in that country, making it even more traumatic
<egg> hah
<egg> crossing the street in saigon is fun
<egg> (been there again last february btw)
<hattivat> likely even worse than Indonesia, judging from what I've seen in videos

<egg> hattivat: spot the cats https://goo.gl/photos/wy2mG3XbWuXNtb2M9

<egg> hattivat: well, the swiss branch of an american company hires a french guy to write tools for translators of all countries unite^W^W^W^W
<egg> hattivat: actually not tooling for translators, that's the job of another team; tooling to make sure the engineers don't fuck up the source strings too much and provide context
<hattivat> he Polish, living in Poland, and working for a startup founded by a Dutch guy, registered in Cyprus, with servers located in Singapore, an app-producing subsidiary registered on Bahamas
<hattivat> and the product they create is exclusively for Indonesia market
<egg> (translations without context are invariably shit)

<UmbralRaptor> Why is it not vertical?
<hattivat> (I got the Chinese signs just fine, of that I'm sure since I use them as icons in parts of my tricked-out UI)
<egg|df|egg> UmbralRaptor: because you'd need something above Unicode to support that
<hattivat> good question
<hattivat> wikipedia does have his name as vertical
<egg|df|egg> Unicode on its own doesn't do vertical text, it's layers above that do it
<hattivat> although it uses an ugly font, IMHO
<egg|df|egg> (also rotating your cursor when you hover there)
<egg|df|egg> for a transliteration copy-paste it into http://www.ushuaia.pl/transliterate/?ln=en
<hattivat> even if it did, a CLI application like the one I'm using would certainly not support it
<egg|df|egg> минггатү
<hattivat> indeed, it does rotate the cursor, interesting
<egg|df|egg> yup
<hattivat> so someone wrote a browser API to support vertical scripts
