eRHIC's conceptual design was supposed to be done at the end of last month :/
<SnoopJeDi>
no word on that, although I see they've unveiled a very nice website to promote the project
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptop, https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.1701 is the community whitepaper calling for the construction of such a machine (and the science portion of the review is largely parroting that)
<SnoopJeDi>
very digestible executive summary but the tl;dr is "we dunno all that much about the nucleus"
* UmbralRaptop
approves of the pun in the title.
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptop, I suspect the US won't have the political will and the Chinese will build one
<SnoopJeDi>
but CERN has their eye on it as well with the LHeC concept as well
<SnoopJeDi>
seems incredibly unlikely though, they'd have a nightmare pulling off polarized hadrons, I think.
<SnoopJeDi>
but to wit: we've had the plug semi-officially pulled on our trickle-down funding from JLab

<\mSg> Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered [...]
<awang>
Also, since when were backslashes allowed in IRC nicks?
<APlayer>
That's not supposed to be a HTML tag, that's a copied user name in brackets
<awang>
Yeah, I know
<awang>
Still, when were backslashes allowed in nicks?

Or have they always been allowed and I've just been clueless?

Should I notify some IRCOp

"freenodegate" appears to be either a hit piece or the next big scandal, depending on your personal levels of cynicism
<awang>
SnoopJeDi: TIL
<SnoopJeDi>
yea smells like a hit piece
<APlayer>
I'm bothered by the fact that the user is neither in the channel, nor joined the channel, nor left the channel
<APlayer>
But they sent a message
<SnoopJeDi>
hmmm
<snoopsith>
doot doot
<SnoopJeDi>
sorry for the notice, wondered if maybe esper did something weird with that?
<snoopsith>
another doot
<snoopsith>
oh, lmao
<APlayer>
Uh
<SnoopJeDi>
channel mode +n will block messages from external users
<SnoopJeDi>
but I can't apply it because of mode-lock, cc egg|anbo|egg
<APlayer>
So they just sent a message while not in the channel? That is possible?
<SnoopJeDi>
or UmbralRaptop I guess, maybe you have ACLs
<SnoopJeDi>
APlayer, yea
<APlayer>
I see
<bofh>
wtf
<APlayer>
Net alteration: "bofh sets mode -p on #kspacademia"
<SnoopJeDi>
/mode #kspacademia +scampi
<bofh>
what the actual fuck, so I have no idea what the current MLOCK is b/c there is no way to *view* a channel MLOCK, only one to *set* it.
<bofh>
this is shitfuckawful design.
<bofh>
Okay, so none of those seem mlocked
<SnoopJeDi>
but n is o.O
<bofh>
okay I bruteforced it, lol.
<SnoopJeDi>
maybe it's locked by default so nobody could set -n, but that would kinda imply +n is default?
<SnoopJeDi>
IRC: unsolveable
<bofh>
like I changed the MLOCK to +n, it seems to have inexplicably been set to -n, since that's literally the only mode off https://esper.net/ircd.php#ircd-channelmodes that gave me an error when I set a bunch at once.
<bofh>

<bofh>
Oops, sorry (I saw that mode there so I just re-added it, but it seemed odd for it to be there to me, oops).
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptop added it earlier before we knew what the heck was going on
<bofh>
Ahh.
<bofh>
on a complete tangent, it *is* sensible to thank Ἄργος Πανόπτης. when your keratoconjuctivitis starts rapidly going away instead of turning into another case of uveitis, right? :P

UmbralRaptop: They seem to have fixed the servers.

And of course it uses Google captchas.

Is it just me, or does the parker solar probe seem to be much rather a PR stunt than anything else?
<awang>
APlayer: Why do you say that?
<APlayer>
Because the fact that it gets so close to the sun gets advertised so enthusiastically, before the probe has even launched. As opposed to, say, Mars probes, where they clearly state that they either look for life, or are a step towards a manned mission, or similar

Most innocent explanation: Broken bots and overwhelmed staff

Less innocent explanation: Someone's messing with the takedown system and Youtube doesn't care enough to actually check if the videos should be taken down
<awang>
Feel free to add more interesting guesses
<awang>
APlayer: I mean, don't Mars missions also get heavily advertised before launch?
<awang>
Like Curiosity was known to go look for signs of life
<awang>
Although the hovercrane might have drowned out quite a bit
<bofh>
like, if anything is a publicity stunt it's Mars 2020.

rescaling levels improved things immensely, a bit of colour balance took care of the bulk of the rest, tho.

now to see if I can hand-bayer-filter that church :P
