http://imgur.com/gallery/ToYSX - so a comment said that if you convert the YSX to lower case you get a nekkid girl. Tried it. Confirmed. And I think Majiir would approve. Though I do wonder how the commenter figured that one out.

!tell lamont we got a massive surge in users from Scott's video, so it would be *really* nice if we could get unified macintosh builds in (merging your pull request with the needed changes) by Чебышёв; might also allow us to be ckannable so people know about updates
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!tell lamont arguably they're released every new moon so we could just warn that the lunation is over and that an update exists, but still, unified builds would be good
<Qboid>
egg|zzz|egg: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.
<egg|zzz|egg>
!tell lamont I guess that would require some synchronization so that you can actually build the thing at the tag before we zip it all together

whitequark: which cat scratched printer
<Technicalfool>
tl;dr: posh clothing company gets a bit cheesed off with Kingsman and seeks to correct the world on exactly what an Oxford is, what a Brogue is, and why you can have both.
<bofh>
would be nice if the lunations were computed into the future tho :P the formula in Meeus is good to a day if you drop all but the first 3 main terms and the perturbation in ascending node
<bofh>
and I *think* you might also need the fundamental of the jupiter perturbation to remain accurate for the full iirc 1000 years (also need to periodically precess eochs from J.2000)
<bofh>
ofc more terms gives you more precision but they rapidly become pointless IMO.
<bofh>
(general rule of Meeus is the first 5-10 terms in an expansion suffice for *most* (but not all!) purposes)

bofh: we can't predict release names so that would be of little use
<bofh>
you could just say "a new release" :P

E.g. the sadly newly eligible m release name :-/

gives UmbralRaptor a cat harmonic distribution
<SnoopJeDi>
My advisor chooses one rule or the other based on reading a crystal orb and also has the atrocious habit of slapping anyone whose name he can remember onto every paper
<whitequark>
atrocious?
<SnoopJeDi>
I think so
<SnoopJeDi>
I mean when I say anyone whose name he can remember I can not exaggerating
<SnoopJeDi>
The leading author on an alarming number of our papers has not worked with us on the actual subject matter in several years, but he likes the guy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<bofh>
I mean that's just a complicated way of saying "two cats"
<UmbralRaptor>
bofh: that's not a harmonic series, right?
* UmbralRaptor
blames egg
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: no, it's just a simple geometric series. whoops, reading/hard/shopping.
<soundnfury>
SnoopJeDi: one of my cow-orkers used to be at CERN. His name was on the pentaquark paper despite having (a) not worked on anything to do with pentaquarks (b) having left CERN about a year beforehand
<SnoopJeDi>
soundnfury, yea, CERN's a whole other culture. I guess that's what happens after CMS resets the bar
<SnoopJeDi>
And in my advisor's defense, accelerator culture does definitely encourage it: it's just too much information to contain in a small number of people
<SnoopJeDi>
*Maybe* you could back in the days of ISR but idk even that is a remarkably complex machine

UmbralRaptor: cat

<Fiora>
..... omg. you have a bot that automatically parses that?
<Fiora>
that's amazing. i love it.
<egg|releasing|egg>
and Qboid is our resident pet bot and eggspands github references, names Unicode codepoints, eggspands acronyms, and does replacement as you just saw :-)
<Fiora>
wait. uh
<egg|releasing|egg>
Qboid is Thomas's
<Fiora>
it does the *first* "and" in the sentence?
<egg|releasing|egg>
it does the logging
<Fiora>
not the last?
<Fiora>
shouldn't it go backwards?
<SnoopJeDi>
it follows POSIX AFAIK
<egg|releasing|egg>
it goes forwards, like sed would I think? or vi replacement?
<Fiora>
i always parsed s/thing/otherthing/ as hitting the most recent case of 'thing' in the chatlog
<egg|releasing|egg>
but it's actually a .NET regex SnoopJeDi :D
<SnoopJeDi>
computers are hard.
<egg|releasing|egg>
Fiora: it does the most recent matching message, but then forwards in that message
<Fiora>
that is WEIRD
<egg|releasing|egg>
throw feature requests at Thomas I guess? :D
<SnoopJeDi>
ah yea, most bots that have such a feature will do the last message as the string to be searched
<egg|releasing|egg>
or pull requests
<SnoopJeDi>
I guess you could tell the bot to reverse the search string on whitespace with a trailing flag, but...
<SnoopJeDi>
That seems fairly arbitrary :P
<Fiora>
it seems weird to be half forward and half backwards!~

egg|releasing|egg, a friend told a funny yesterday I thought you'd enjoy: "Have you ever heard of the the tragedy of Whitehead & Russel the Mathematicians? I thought not. it is not a story the intuitionists would tell you. It is a formalist legend."
<SnoopJeDi>
(in the context of a conversation involving Principia Mathematica)
<egg|releasing|egg>
hah
<Fiora>
did you hear the story about the classical logicians trying to fit 5 people in a sedan? they kept trying to put the fifth person in the back but nobody would sit in the middle
<Fiora>
(they insisted it was against the law)
<SnoopJeDi>
I've always been fond of the one about the statistician who goes hunting with two friends. They see a huge buck, and the first friend shoots and misses left. Before the buck runs off, the second shoots and misses right.
<SnoopJeDi>
As the buck runs off, the statistician exclaims, "we got him!"
<Fiora>
do you know why statisticians are so glad about the obsolescence of CRTs? they've always been nervous about degaussing
<egg|releasing|egg>
SnoopJeDi: Principia Mathematica, not to be confused with Newton's Principia [...] Mathematica, much like Éléments de mathématique shouldn't be confused with Euclid's Elements :-p
<SnoopJeDi>
Fiora, hah!

eggsample of acronym eggspansion ^

Fiora: you can add further acronyms with !acr -add:ACRONYM Expansion Of The Acronym
<egg|releasing|egg>
also you can get a list of the acronyms Qboid has been taught with !acr -list

<egg|releasing|egg>
this needs some despamming

Does that work anywhere in a sentence? !acr -list

<Iskierka>
does this have history optimisation?
<egg>
Iskierka: no, though we are making progress towards it (maybe it'll be in the following release?)
<egg>
it has a bunch of bugfixes around KSP's silly physics-off-by-one, and trajectories in map view
<egg>
(and in the underlying libraries stuff has been written towards trajectory optimization, yes, but it's not surfaced yet)
