<soundnfury> 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.
<awang> bofh: Aren't weapons supposed to be <adjective> <noun>?
<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
<bofh> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurable_cardinal for instance these, which I remember entirely b/c of this one rap battle that happened on an IRC channel I was in like 5 years ago: https://pastebin.com/raw/gt2cRH92

<awang> That reads like a bad parody of something from bash.org

<Ellied> cool, I got my first counterfeit product on aliexpress.
<Ellied> USB flash drive that is supposed to have USB 3.0, but really apparently has USB 0.0 (does not enumerate)
<Ellied> the seller has tons of good reviews, but several bad ones that all say the same thing I found (doesn't do anything when plugged in)
<Ellied> and even the good reviews say it doesn't go any faster than USB 2.0. sigh, this is what I get for not reading them first.

<Qboid> APlayer: schnobs left a message for you in #RO [04.10.2017 20:45:52]: ""rescaleFactor" won't help, I want to make it shorter while keeping it's width."
<APlayer> That's what you get from not saying "Hi" once a day when you join
<APlayer> By the time messages reach you, the context is already obsolete
<APlayer> Anyway, I've had an acute understanding problem, not related to any task or problem.
<APlayer> Could anyone give me some clues to gain an intuitive understanding of Bernoulli's Principle?
<awang> 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"?

<SnoopJeDi> Ah, interesting!
<SnoopJeDi> 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
<soundnfury> you load it up with a coil to get resonance, and the radiation pattern shifts more horizontal than vertical https://ham.stackexchange.com/questions/1142/what-makes-a-5-8-wavelength-vertical-desirable
<soundnfury> (nothing special about the ⅝ ratio itself, just that that's roughly where the optimum is, apparently)
<SnoopJeDi> (paper in progress re: massive attempt at recovery from HATSouth)
<soundnfury> I wonder if the actual optimum is 1/φ?
<SnoopJeDi> "The pattern for a 1/4λ monopole is essentially a doughnut, tasty and a pretty good pattern especially for a VHF antenna." HAH

<bofh> 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.
<FluffyFoxeh> antennas are too magic for me
<soundnfury> SnoopJeDi: ambition, sedition, perdition — tradition.
<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
