what would I do with an ill-conditioned one tough

that's gonna leak everywhere

how many wars has the US had attacks from foreign military enter US land? (excluding terrorist dipshits, and canada/mexico as too obvious), like japanese hit alaska / hawaii in ww2, what else?
<icefire>
why exclude canada/mexico
<xShadowx>
because they border US and too obvious :)
<Iskierka>
japanese soldiers never touched US soil
<icefire>
well theres the entire revolutionary war
<xShadowx>
but their planes/ships hit buildings on said soil
<Iskierka>
but there was no attempt at an occupation of any kind anywhere
<icefire>
I guess if you exclude all the times it happened when listing how many times it happened, you could say it hasn't
<xShadowx>
i only excluded canada/mexico :|
<Iskierka>
to word it differently, the UK has not been invaded in 951 years; Blitz does not count as it was not actually taking land to force surrender or such. If you ask about successful invasion of america; there's the first colony waves, rebellion, canada, mexico. Japan never managed to attempt any kind of occupation that could count as invasion
<icefire>
not sure you can call the colonizers attacks on US land as the US didn't exist at that point
<Iskierka>
the definitiobn
<xShadowx>
"how many wars has the US had attacks from foreign military enter US land?" nowhere does it say occupation ;p
<Iskierka>
definition of the US has changed a lot so it's the first one you could argue about
<icefire>
the united states did not exist when america was colonized
<Iskierka>
invasion is a term for attacks entering and attempting to occupy the land
<Iskierka>
and one better defined
<xShadowx>
given the giant moat around the US, accual invasion is harder / far less likely to happen, hense stating attacks
<xShadowx>
we bomb everyone else in the world, japan only one to return the favor? germany had subs killing ships off east coast, dont remember them accually hitting land though
<hattivat>
nothing significant, but these are parts of USA proper, so IMHO they count
<whitequark>
for example, Manchester-encode your input data (to dc-balance it) and change the average luminance of JPEG blocks taken in the path traced by a space-filling curve
egg|phone|egg has joined #kspacademia
<whitequark>
this way you should be able to defeat both compression (the image will become unreadable before this very low frequency component gets lost) and cropping (you can autocorrelate the encoded data to determine if you have the right offsets)
<whitequark>
a Hilbert curve maybe
<whitequark>
this way it nicely scales to any size of embedded data, too

LEDs \o/
<bofh>
you can get LEDs that have acceptable brightness at <1mA drive current? that's impressive.
<bofh>
like I have a few reds that are okay as indicators at 1mA and are approaching bright at 2mA, but they're by no means *bright*

<Ellied>
bofh: the ones I got in Shenzhen are bordering on too bright to stare at at 1 mA
<bofh>
Ellied: what colour?
<Ellied>
white
<Ellied>
so blue with phosphor
<bofh>
wait,they actually made blue leds that give avceptable light output at 1mA drive current now?
<bofh>
my main annoyance w/blue LEDs is they usually need 5 - 15mA to be visible
<bofh>
(also they have two brightness settings: "barely visible" & "piercingly bright")
<egg>
!wpn Ellied
* Qboid
gives Ellied a GPL'd buzzard/cell hybrid
<Ellied>
I mean, I don't know how anyone does white LEDs anymore besides a blue and a phosphor, it's not like RGBs are still in fashion for that purpose
<Ellied>
(sure they are if you want *changing* color, but my prof tells me there used to be white LEDs that just had three junctions and two leads)
<Ellied>
lemme see how much my new non-phosphor blues need to turn on
<Ellied>
bofh: I can easily see my new blues glowing in a well-lit lab with, according to this Agilent multimeter, 7 µA flowing.
<Ellied>
I can still detect it with close inspection down to 2 µA
<Ellied>
staring straight down the lens becomes uncomfortable at about 0.4 mA
<bofh>
let me try the same, few mins

No, not that. At the tablets that were apparently smuggled out of Iraq.
<bofh>
like what is going on. how do you go from denying others healthcare to smuggling priceless historical artifacts via FedEx?
<bofh>
"The tablets were described on their FedEx shipping label as samples of “hand-crafted clay tiles.” This description may have been technically accurate [...]" this is amazing.

... why does one of my pis have an rtc module spamming that it wants the time to be set
<Iskierka>
it's literally filled a kernel log file to 2.4 GB and prevented further writing
<Majiir>
A couple components I wrote at work set a record for our fastest logging
<Iskierka>
and it's filled messages.1 with the same messages to the same extent
<Iskierka>
I'm not sure how fast it was, this might've been a few days. But jesus this is a lot of redundant logging
<Majiir>
When the queueing server dies, most of the components start whining, but mine apparently max out the SAN's write speed
<Iskierka>
(for a pi with only a 16 GB card)
<Iskierka>
good thing sed can edit in-place to remove the crap
<Iskierka>
then again, it's around 100 lines per second, that might be the pi's maximum write speed
<Iskierka>
literally cleared out 8 GB already
<Iskierka>
make that 9. Just from sed-clearing the set time spam
<Iskierka>
Ellied, how many GB did your SD card write before asploding?
<bofh>
egg: don't you work in google's internationalization department or something like that?
<egg>
bofh: YouTube's
<bofh>
Majiir: ahh, but would it beat slapd's debug logging on max verbosity?
<egg>
bofh: though we do talk to Google's obviously
<bofh>
literally had that log 1 GB over a day
<egg>
(however I was on vacation last time we met with the Google i18n thingy)
<egg>
bofh: but eventually I'll chat with Mark :-p
<egg>
bofh: in fact he gave the i18n onboarding talk, so I did see him already
<Majiir>
bofh, we were seeing over 80 MB/sec, and we decided to not waste any time measuring more precisely
<bofh>
Majiir: jesus fucking christ why
<bofh>
egg: not bad.
<bofh>
you should suggest that to him. also I got informed from a friend that at least one internal ticket for Youtube Akkadian exists apparently.
<Majiir>
My component really wanted us to know that it couldn't reach the queue server
<Majiir>
So it yelled very, very loudly
<bofh>
And persistently, it seems.

bofh: apparently my tech lead is somewhat known in some python circles too (I know nothing about python though so I hadn't heard of him), fredrik lundh

<Ellied>
I've had two shitty full-size SD cards go though

huh. interesting oddity, but that's promising for this mSD
