UmbralRaptor: since it's a birb, will it be _bitternly_ disappointed?
<UmbralRaptor>
soundnfury: Maybe, you could probably hawk a stylus at it, though.
<soundnfury>
well I haven't got a stylus, so I'd have to try robin someone else's
<UmbralRaptor>
I don't want to do anything I'll egret.

<bofh>
awang: ?
<awang>
Qboid's weapons?
<bofh>
UmbralRaptor: hey the simple QHOsc is pretty simple IMO. :P
<bofh>
awang: so I'm confused b/c cardinal in that context can be a noun. as in, large cardinal, measurable cardinal, etc.
<awang>
bofh: And that's the missing puzzle piece. Didn't know the math version of "cardinal" could be a noun too
<bofh>
it's shorthand for [transfinite] cardinal [number], yes, but extremely commonly used.
<awang>
Evidently I need to take more math classes next semester

<whitequark> paper's so heavy on jargon I understand nothing. the fuck are "ponto-geniculo-occipital waves". why "oneiric behavior" you can say "dream"
<egg|zzz|egg>
whitequark: en-FR is weird

stares at ##openfpga <rqou> i meant "rendering a document containing mixed mongolian (old script, not cyrillic), chinese (vertical), and arabic"
<egg|zzz|egg>
<rqou> and this is before trying more fun things, like a hypothetical arabic ruby text in vertical chinese text ** sob **
* egg|zzz|egg
pokes rqou with a boustrophedon
<whitequark>
egg|zzz|egg: lol
* egg|zzz|egg
isn't sure whether whitequark is loling at the i18n madness or at the weirdness of en-FR (arguably that might count as i18n madness)
egg|zzz|egg is now known as egg|afk|egg
<whitequark>
the latter
<egg|afk|egg>
whitequark: yeah, it's quite frequent to unknowingly use an eggstremely abstruse english word that happens to be morphologically and semantically the same as a less-abstruse french word

UmbralRaptor, birb apparently upvoted a post so apparently yes beaks are capacitative-valid

Yay for birb accessibility.

No need for new technology after the uprising

I didn't, just figured you'd read the backlog at some point for highlights

but Iiii had to get up way too early for this lab that I was still late to because the earliest train in the strike isn't early enough

That's what you get from not saying "Hi" once a day when you join

By the time messages reach you, the context is already obsolete

Anyway, I've had an acute understanding problem, not related to any task or problem.

Could anyone give me some clues to gain an intuitive understanding of Bernoulli's Principle?

Ask the local aerodynamics expert
<APlayer>
What's happening to the fluid's particles that causes the pressure to change with velocity?
<APlayer>
awang, I live in the middle of nowhere. There is a school here which I visit. It is even pretty respected for a fairly big region. But the teachers usually have no idea when you ask them somethibg outside of the regular teaching plan
<APlayer>
Long story short, I have no local experts. I have to dig up knowledge and remote experts myself :P
<awang>
APlayer: hint: who do you think of when I say "real aerodynamics in KSP"?
<awang>
"local" as in "in #kspacademia" :P
<APlayer>
ferram, perhaps?
<APlayer>
Well, that settles it :D
<APlayer>
Uh, well, didn't I implicitly ask him by asking here, though?

Sorry, missed whatever could be considered rude

Could you repeat what you said?

And yes, I think IRC etiquette does exist, but it will vary from channel to channel. However, some things surely are universal, e.g. using caps lock and similar

bofh, I reckon you would've liked today's colloquium, a sorta-rambly walk through astrostatistics/informatics. Half of the talk was overview of a sort, half was showing off his student's work in looking for exoplanets, most notably recovery from ground-based data
<egg|afk|egg>
(well I knew he worked in aerospace, but not that he did stuff with JAXA)

SnoopJeDi: huh, that *does* sound super-cool.
<bofh>
SnoopJeDi: especially since I'm very unfamiliar with the ground-based data for this sort of stuff, and it'd be useful to have an overview of what that comprises and how elaborate it is.
<soundnfury>
(more usually called "hubris, nemesis, catharsis", though)
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh, I drew a box next to it indicating it as a to-do to follow-up and find the ARIMA auto-regression business, so if I do that I'll make sure to send it along
<SnoopJeDi>
soundnfury, alas, I cannot continue this mission, giving me great pangs of contrition

egg|afk|egg: a year sounds like some pretty absurd latency, honestly.

PRISM?

not to be confused with NSA PRISM, ofc.

<bofh453> @diodelass I mean I did once manage ADPCM playback on a PIC16F88 using a 24-series EEPROM for the audio data, so in… https://t.co/7vmuD3Wytg
<bofh>
the first architecture I learned assembly for was 16-series PIC and I think it warped/scarred my mind permanently.
<soundnfury>
oh I hate PIC
<soundnfury>
luckily I'd dabbled in Z80 beforehand, so I was somewhat immunised I guess?
