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

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: Most likely

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

But I've never heard of "casi" before

does not.

<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?

TOPCAT?

<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)
