<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: floor is towards negative infinity though, whereas i suppose entier is towards 0 (being the integer part)? so I guess for negatives both might find use
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: also unsure if kitteh or ките,

<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: cat, but no kite.
<bofh> egg|anbo|egg: I mean it felt like I was saying something closer to ките in the end

<SilverFox> what is the hardest field of mathematics?
* UmbralRaptor Mohs at SilverFox.
<SilverFox> wut
<SilverFox> wrong, it's toilet paper math

<bofh> UmbralRaptor: accurate
<Ellied> tfw the rate of passing over joints in the road at the speed limit just happens to nearly exactly nail the resonant frequency of the bus's suspension :x
<Ellied> generally you'd hope that most vehicle-suspension systems are overdamped I think, but this one seems to have a Q of about 3 or so
<egg|anbo|egg> !wpn Ellied

<Qboid> What code point do you want me to look up?

<Ellied> oh come on
<Ellied> there's a character that's showing up as a gray block in my terminal and I can't figure out what it is
<Ellied> apparently it won't copy
<Ellied> guessing it's \x02, it seems like it could be indicating bold
<Ellied> weird that it won't copy, though. I was expecting it to just show up as a gray block character

<UmbralRaptor> At least pip has radvel and astroML, even if Anaconda does not.

<UmbralRaptor> "astroML does not yet support python 3.x" But it worked on my machine?

<UmbralRaptor> ;8ball Is getting 2 banks to talk to each other so hard that mailing a check is the best course of action?
<kmath> UmbralRaptor: Most likely
<awang_> Does the word "casi" in the context of FEA make sense to anyone?
<awang_> It's mixed in with "eta" and "zeta", if that helps
<awang_> and local coordinates
<awang_> And I think it's referring to x/y/z axes
<awang_> But I've never heard of "casi" before
* UmbralRaptor does not.
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg, bofh: next up, ANBOcat at the beach?
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: yeah i accidentally some cat-free photos in the ANBOcat album, rectified
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: I may have to try that one hand on a pocket thing next time someone is taking a picture of me.

<awang> Wow, assembly instructions are getting long these days
<awang> "vfmadd132sd"
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: should I get a ccd for ANBO and what kind
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: the ANBOscope is now a VC200L
* UmbralRaptor gives awang a 256 bit float.
<awang> Hmmm
<awang> Clang also isn't generating those fmadd instructions
<awang> At least not without some coaxing from -ffast-math
<UmbralRaptor> awang: I feel like there needs to be a umadd instruction.
<awang> Not sure that's a good idea though
<awang> HA
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: unsure, but I feel like the correct answer will involve a filter wheel (either SDSS, or Johnson bands) and outputting to fits files.
<awang> Maybe replace the ud instruction?
<bofh> UmbralRaptor: why to fits files? (what even are those?)
<UmbralRaptor> awang: yes, that was entirely for a half-decade old meme.
<UmbralRaptor> FITS?
<Qboid> UmbralRaptor: [FITS] => Flexible Image Transport System
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: aaaaaaaa
<UmbralRaptor> bofh: text/binary data format that shows up a lot in astronomy for various reasons. Initially for images, but also used for tables.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: yeah I'll probably go for monochrome + filters, but what CCD
<egg|anbo|egg> (I mean, a котяchrome CCD sounds fun too, but why not have котяchrome filters,)
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: I really have no good idea. =\ Poke iximeow?
<egg|anbo|egg> TOPCAT?
<Qboid> egg|anbo|egg: [TOPCAT] => Tool for OPerations on Catalogues And Tables
<UmbralRaptor> (I mean, I'd say "Teledyne Hawaii [1,2,4]RG", but those are rather expensive.
<UmbralRaptor> )
* egg|anbo|egg pokes iximeow with a котяchrome filter
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: it's the ANBOscope, not the VLT,
* iximeow reads
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: also the ANBO finder is now bigger than the ANBOscope was when it was a refractor :-p
<iximeow> ooh ccd/fits chat
<iximeow> re fits, i've been suggested astropy many times (http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/) but haven't *done* anything with it. capturing as png and throwing images at gimp works Well Enough if you're lazy and don't care about precision too much
<iximeow> as for ccd, i'm pretty pleased with my zwo camera, i think specifics are a question of what you want to do with it
<UmbralRaptor> astropy is probably a good idea for fits.
* UmbralRaptor stares at ds9 and iraf.
<iximeow> (functionally it's a sony ccd with a usb port, most others are similar. major perk over using a digital camera body is easier computer control over the sensor parameters like gain, exposure, ...)
<iximeow> i've.. never gotten ds9 to do anything useful
<UmbralRaptor> Both are tools that are in principle good, but in practice should have been replaced or greatly improved in the mid 1990s.
<iximeow> oh another perk at least with the zwo cameras, you can crop down the area of interest and in theory get up to ~120-400fps capture (depending on the specific model)
