<bofh> basically "present all your visa paperwork & your passport, also you must be accompanied by someone not a foreign national at all times on most of LANL and your badge doesn't work for a good chunk of it"
<bofh> thankfully NHFML is much more relaxed than that but you can't access it w/o crossing a good chunk of LANL first.

<bofh> Today's discovery: apparently longitude of pericenter is commonly called *pomega* and I hate people.
<bofh> I mean, ϖ = Ω + ω makes sense, right?
<bofh> because we have to have all the omegas mean different things.
<SnoopJeDi> I'm mostly mad that it has a name, and that it's that one?
<SnoopJeDi> ...huh, I have never seen pi drawn like that.
<iximeow> what luck! bofh: the handset in this telescope that i'm starting to pick apart is a PIC17 chip!
<iximeow> good thing i've been looking at PIC docs so much in the last few months...
<SilverFox> have a meme
<bofh> iximeow: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<iximeow> bofh: it turns out the first versions seem to have no error detection or checking in the handset <-> motor control protocol
<iximeow> this, along with this telescope being 12-16 years old, and questionable wiring, explains why it sometimes misbehaves
* iximeow is shocked this telescope works
<iximeow> THE TOOL TO UPDATE HANDSET FIRMWARE IS A .JAR
<bofh> ROFL I AM SOMEHOW NOT THE TINIEST BIT SURPRISED.

<bofh> "Is U+202E RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE an identifier? Albeit entertaining, this could be a security issue." ROFL
<bofh> I want to see a language that allows RTLO in identifiers now.
<egg|work|egg> bofh: VHDL interpreting UTF-8 as Latin-1 :-p
<egg|work|egg> (unless RLO has one of the bad bytes?)
<bofh> Ahh, HDLs, always a fun source of PTSD.
<egg|work|egg> bofh: whereas Ada (whose 83 spec has a lot in common with the initial VHDL spec) actually went and did it right
<egg|work|egg> bofh: and yes if you read the discussion below AI95-00285 you might find a familiar name >_> https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2457#issuecomment-395347989
