<Ellied> so not only does trump's sham survey thing not include a "poor" option for his own performance (which it does for Obama), it also tells me "enter a valid name" if I put my perfectly normal/legal ASCII last name into the last name field.
<SnoopJeDi> that full-page rule is damned good!
<Ellied> looks like it won't take anything but Basic Latin capital and lowercase letters
<SnoopJeDi> Ellied, what char broke it, hyphen?
<Ellied> aye
<Ellied> also tried accented characters (although my name doesn't contain any) just to see, and yeah it won't allow those either
<icefire> I like how the author provides no solutions to anything
<icefire> only complains about stuff
<SnoopJeDi> they don't, but probably mostly because they are of the opinion that it's not a soluble "problem"
<SnoopJeDi> I.e. you can never get it "right" but you can screw up less often (particularly in the embarrassing way Ellied pointed out)
<icefire> it is for a number of things in most of the world
<icefire> but if you dont actually need anything just treat it like everything else - a binary blob
<SnoopJeDi> "it" being a name?
<icefire> it being a problem that needs solving
<icefire> like shipping addresses, billing addresses, etc. These things are common in the majority of the world
<SnoopJeDi> Well yes hence the problems to begin with
<icefire> ok, your system treats names as a binary blob. Great!. well now UPS's API is demanding a first and last name. fuck.
<SnoopJeDi> You just can rely on very few assumptions, was the point the author was getting at
<SnoopJeDi> And all of the articles it has inspired since (I particularly enjoy the one about time)
<icefire> I hate time
<icefire> I hate timezones
<icefire> I had politicians that change timezones on a whim
<icefire> I hate timezones!
<bofh> rofl
<bofh> ofc it's from Sean Carroll
<SnoopJeDi> His visit here was...strange.
<SnoopJeDi> We get a lot of kids coming to the Festival (I mean, they're mostly the *point* of the Festival), and they usually ask some pretty great questions during the public lecture
<SnoopJeDi> I can't recall what this boy asked during his lecture, but I do recall the answer was something along the lines of "well come up with your own theory and get back to me" lmao
<UmbralRaptor> Fun fact: having 2 middle names made it weirdly hard to get my car registered in VA.

<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: probably (1.0)
<SnoopJeDi> Having just finished Hidden Figures this week, VA is...problematic.
<SnoopJeDi> Not that I didn't know growing up in the DelMarVa area, but jeez. Creating subsidies for black graduate students to attend schools *anywhere else* is insane
<SnoopJeDi> Um those are historical subsidies from said history, not a present-day thing
<UmbralRaptor> still, eek
<SnoopJeDi> OTOH, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson are way cooler IRL than their Hollywood depictions :D

<UmbralRaptor> Is this a felidae cat, or a Siluriformes cat?

<UmbralRaptor> I'm not sure how to make that sort of cat fish-compatible.

<UmbralRaptor> That works.
