<bofh> ugh why hasn't anyone translated the Larzac tablet into English?
<bofh> I guess it's a wonderful way for me to remember my French, so much of which I appear to have forgotten, lol.

<egg> bofh: you could also try reading Akkadian and learn some French and German in the process,
e_14159_ is now known as e14159
<egg> or read astronomy
<bofh> wait, what does astronomy have to do with French? iirc that stopped being much of a thing in like early 1900s?
<bofh> but yes I need to read moar Akkadian.
<bofh> I *do* have the most recent copy of Huehnergard but it's a bit of a slog.
<egg> bofh: early 1900s might be a bit early, but yeah by the 60s it's all english; otoh old texts are interesting
* egg pokes bofh with Encke and Delambre

<whitequark> no amount of drugs will let me cope with conda
<bofh> egg: I mean, same, honestly.
<bofh> but I chalked that up to my French being very ba
<bofh> bad*
<egg> whitequark: petaphor, from the SI prefix πετά-, and φορεῖν, "bearer of a thousand million million",

<iximeow> ruby is great because i've never thought about parsing or evaluating it or implementing an interpreter
<iximeow> and that is how things will stay
<whitequark> iximeow: i will write code that breaks your brain.

<egg> there are taxis, though you have to book them a while in advance
<egg> whitequark: hm somehow base32768 makes things slower than hex (apparently far more so than the encoding/decoding time), rather than faster because of the shorter strings Ꙩ_ꙩ
<egg> what is ksp doing with those savefiles

<UmbralRaptor> bofh: on an unrelated note, what prompted someone to describe WIS as your dump stat? o_O
<egg|phone|egg> Bofh, yeah but through Paris and then you have the last 15 km
<bofh> UmbralRaptor: I rambled about how the cold doesn't bother me, I've totally pulled allnighters walking thru major blizzards before, then recounted no less than 5 such distinct cases, half occuring due to missing travel and not having a place to stay (or any money), the other half b/c I kinda felt like wandering around in unfamiliar surroundings at 3AM and so what if there's a Nor'easter?
<UmbralRaptor> Hah
<bofh> then there was the time I walked 17km along the shoulder of a busy highway between two cities during the night b/c I felt like walking from one to the other but had no idea what the pedestrian path was like (actually my mistake was assuming stops on a particular bus route would be equidistant and so that distance would be ~2km instead of ~17km).
<bofh> I mean I haven't died of hypothermia (tho that time I got lost in a forest in -15degC weather in a tshirt and jeans while running a high fever was legit scary in retrospect (wasn't wearing a coat b/c I was extremely warm indoors b/c again, fever)).
<bofh> or gotten run over
<bofh> so I must be doing something okay
