<UmbralRaptor> iximeow: oops
<UmbralRaptor> Amateur S-Z detection when?
<e_14159> Well, my student answered. And wrote a paragraph on how important a good grade were for his further studies.
<e_14159> It's like from a book. Kafka, probably.

<e_14159> egg|paris|egg: oh, and he apparently deleted his repo from our git
<UmbralRaptor> Ꙫ_ꙫ
<e_14159> It's like one of those installment stories. Every week, there's something new. Well, day, almost.
<e_14159> Luckily, I cloned the repository four days ago :D
<awang> Yay, new macbooks
<UmbralRaptor> Are the screens still 1440x900?
<awang> UmbralRaptor: Yep
<awang> Also, TIL 4TB SSDs are horrendously expensive
<awang> The 4TB option more than doubles the price of the computer o_O
* UmbralRaptor sad trombones, and eyes the circa 2004 LCD on this office desk that has *more pixels* than a modern mac.
<awang> You can always use the native resolution if you want :P
<awang> Or use 4 4k monitors, apparently
<awang> ....Why in the world would you need *three* microphones?
<UmbralRaptor> awang: 1440x900 *is* the native resolution of any MBA from the past 4 or so years.
<awang> UmbralRaptor: I thought native was 2880x1800 and it was scaled down?
<awang> Oh wait, MBA
<awang> I'm looking at the retina pros
<UmbralRaptor> I wish people would believe me when I say macs actually have low resolution displays. https://photos.app.goo.gl/M4HwZqhbfUUQ9rY37
<e_14159> awang: Do they still come without nvidia GPUs?
<UmbralRaptor> "The next Chexo meeting is scheduled for Friday September 7, 2018 and will be hosted by the Space Telescope Science Institute. The meeting venue is the Bahcall Auditorium located in the Steven Muller Building."
<UmbralRaptor> "Attendees will need to fill in a Citizenship Identification Form so that STScI can arrange escorts where necessary, by July 31. Everyone planning to attend needs to do this."
<SnoopJeDi> e_14159, to what was your student's prose responding?
<e_14159> SnoopJeDi: You mean the response I received? To my answer for him asking for a conclusion meeting (and talk about the grade), and me explicitly saying that I won't discuss grading with him
<SnoopJeDi> --- point --->
<SnoopJeDi> ☁☁☁☁ ☁☁☁☁
<SnoopJeDi> student
<e_14159> "Also, grading is not something that's up for discussion." - maybe that was too unclear
<SnoopJeDi> Some people have to bludgeoned halfway to death with the clue-by-four before the point sinks in

<UmbralRaptor> awang: They're the best selling macs, right?
<UmbralRaptor> Uh
<SnoopJeDi> bofh, I've only skimmed, but this strikes me as a perspective write-up you will enjoy: http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2018/06/26/water-isnt-water-down-there
<SnoopJeDi> Also, Guido is apparently frazzled enough by getting PEP 572 approved that he's taking "a permanent vacation from being BDFL, and you all will be on your own"

<awang> bofh: What's the fancy planes + smoke for? Bastille Day?
<awang> I was going to say it's a bit past the 4th, but then I remembered you're probably still in France >_<
<awang> Woah, In the Pipeline is still going on?
<awang> I've been missing out
<UmbralRaptor> Weighted average of US independence day and Bastille day?
<SnoopJeDi> Time smearing strikes again
<awang> :( Didn't know PEP 572 was that contentious
<awang> Although now that I see what it is I can certainly imagine it being quite the fight
<SnoopJeDi> A lot of people are of the opinion that GvR forced it
<awang> Wonder what that decision is going to look like in a decade or so
<awang> Hmmm
<awang> "-- Performing Test COMPILER_RT_HAS_Oy_FLAG - Failed"

<whitequark> neither is C, or any other language that runs on actual computers
<whitequark> being turing-complete requires infinite memory, that's like CS 101
<whitequark> the notion of turing-completeness is typically used very informally, because in the strict sense it's only really useful in rather academic context
