icefire: iirc there are SSE instructions for the square root?
<egg|zzz|egg>
x87 is a bit dated
<icefire>
maybe, im not up to date on instruction sets anymore
<Ellied>
it works by presenting a deceptively difficult numerics problem to all charges that go through it. Electrons don't care; eggs will stop and consider it.

AH AH AH. That remind me of something ;)

No one can English.

Sarbian: floating point cats!
<Sarbian>
Are real cats rational or irrational ?
<UmbralRaptor>
Sarbian: Yes.
<SnoopJeDi>
Very rarely have I seen a cat do anything that could be described as rational
<UmbralRaptor>
eh, if anything the ones I've been around are pretty rational.
<UmbralRaptor>
bofh: I'm tempted to suggest you read "Red Plenty." (it's about linear programming and the Soviet economy, if in a somewhat fictionalized form.)
<SnoopJeDi>
Well now that can't just not go on my GoodReads list.

<hattivat> sweet cthulhu, so it's like hyphens? << what does "it" refer too though
<hattivat>
it's most fun when someone use that for URL spoofing

I didn't know about Punycode until last month's exploit and oh Unicode...

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
<egg>
indeed
<hattivat>
to see principia used outside of strict KSP modding context, I mean
<egg>
non-KSP uses \o/
<hattivat>
yeah
<SnoopJeDi>
!wpn -add:wpn pointer

SnoopJeDi: Weapon added!
<hattivat>
egg: is #RO usually so quiet nowadays?
<egg>
quite time-dependent I think
<hattivat>
that would explain why there is not 1.2.2 release yet, I guess
<hattivat>
...but I actually have a temp job translating it now
<hattivat>
that job is a good story, actually
<hattivat>
globalisation in a nutshell
<egg>
translating indonesia?
<hattivat>
a British subsidiary of a Japanese pharma company hires a Polish guy to translate and analyze Twitter traffice in Indonesia
<hattivat>
traffic*, sorry about my caffeine defficiency
<egg>
\o/
<hattivat>
my university mate has an even better one, actually
<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)
<hattivat>
indeed
<hattivat>
Indonesian*, he is*, I should really brew myself some tea at least
* UmbralRaptor
hands hattivat a carafe of coffee.
<hattivat>
anyway, we can unite in madness, the fun kind of madness thankfully
<hattivat>
thanks, UmbralRaptor
* egg
hands UmbralRaptor a barrel of coffee.
<egg>
the barrel menaces with spikes of cristalline caffeine.
<UmbralRaptor>
Ooh!
<egg>
on the item is an image of a theorem in coffee stains.
* soundnfury
hands egg a +2 chocolate of darkness
<hattivat>
if you used a cezve, you could have the leftovers arrange themselves into a theorem at the bottom
<egg>
speaking of which
egg is now known as egg|df|egg

I just hope some day the dwarves learn to make chocolate.
