Anyone here heard about LLVM's Type Sanitizer?

I think I can reproduce the rolling shutter effect with this crappy fidget spinner by watching it and moving it in front of a monitor
<Iskierka>
(which I've already checked doesn't have any PWM pulsing so it's not that)
<kmath>
<whitequark> i strongly recommend finding and/or growing a co-maintainer for anything at all popular you wrote so you won't find yourself in my position

man 7 ascii says U+0007 is "BEL '\a' (bell)"

<bofh>
egg|work|egg: I know you know, but I didn't (or at least forgot), hence having to check and being annoyed Qboid doesn't have descriptions for U+0000 - U+001F (I know this is b/c UnicodeData.txt lacks them, but you could paste them in from man 7 ascii :P)

<AscendingNode> PSA: If you drop the single worst observation for Comet C/2017 U1 (PANSTARRS), the eccentricity drops to 0.93 It's not interstellar.

It's mostly looking at south america anyway? o.O
<bofh>
SnoopJeDi: what the hell
<bofh>
re: cold front
<bofh>
re: south america: it's a full disk imaging from a geosynchronous orbit. and yeah, it seems like it was over south america at the time.
<SnoopJeDi>
yea I can see what they were talking about so I'm being a *little* flippant about that

SnoopJeDi: I... can't? I'm just confused.
<bofh>
what *are* they talking about.
<SnoopJeDi>
I assume that band of clouds which is probably a front? I don't actually into weather though
<SnoopJeDi>
but I would assume the clear region is a high and it was chilly where the clouds were or some-such (and this person was on the west coast I guess?)

whitequark: the context for this joke in the /topic is that astronomers call catadioptric telescopes (Schmidt–Cassegrain, Максутов, etc.) cats
<SnoopJeDi>
whitequark, you seem like a decent person to ask. re: genomics, do you know if there's any good jumping-in lit review level publication for the Human Genome Project?
<SnoopJeDi>
I poked around a bit but couldn't find publications per se, just PR sorts of material
<whitequark>
not sure
<SnoopJeDi>
Okie doke, I'll just have to make some time to poke harder (or not, since it's a fairly idle curiosity)
* SnoopJeDi
glances at half-read lit review of sleep deprivation in humans
<SnoopJeDi>
tl;dr (AIUI): the deactivation of the bottom-up brain becomes rapidly unstable in sleep-deprived subjects, so the default mode network re-emerges more often when you're tired
<SnoopJeDi>
(Goleman's book "Focus" was a fun read about the surprising connection between emotional and attention circuitry)
<bofh>
Huh, now I'm curious if this is why dopamibe reuptake inhibitors work so well at counteracting that (esp. for me), since they prevent more-or-less that from happening.
<bofh>
(Huh, I think I need to give that a read)

float errors causing precision errors at -459.67. Think there's no reason to not be using double now

... no, Qboid, that is not what I meant.

ahh I know why it did that

ironically float rounds zeroward for -275.15 so no error there but error on -459.67
