<bofh^28> egg: I mean it makes sense, I just normally don't see many French transliterations of RU names. :P
<egg> bofh^28: in de ш would probably be sch (and ч tsch), but in fr it's just ch and tch
<kmath> <trannosaurusma> I think I’ve figured out the secret to the Chinese handwriting input method: stroke order matters, but strokes don’… https://t.co/42Fq3IM2SZ
<Qboid> egg: I'll redirect this as soon as they are around.
<bofh^28> egg: see, I'm used to sh and ch, and I keep forgetting ch maps to /ʃ/ if I'm seeing non-French words, so yeah.
<egg> bofh^28: also j to [ʒ]
<egg> bofh^28: e.g. brejnev
<egg> bofh^28: de actually has an [x], namely ch
<egg> so Chruschtschow has all of ch, sch, and tsch
<egg> schtsch = щ
<egg> de transliteration is not very compact,
<egg> bofh^28: also meow
<bofh^28> augh

<SnoopJeDi> bofh^28, do you know about the paper he wrote using Vlasov dynamics to prove that Saturn's rings cannot be a continuous fluid?
<SnoopJeDi> I fully intend to drop that reference as a "look, science history is amazing!" tidbit in the part of my thesis that reviews Vlasov flow
<bofh^28> SnoopJeDi: holy shit, no, but I need to read this. link?
<SnoopJeDi> I confess I've not read the whole thing because Vlasov stuff is dense even in modern forms
<SnoopJeDi> but the tl;dr takeaway is that for the exact same reason that intense particle beams have rich phase-space texture, the rings cannot possibly be a continuous fluid, or they'd go right apart
<SnoopJeDi> cf. "self-bunching" in electron guns, for example
<bofh^28> ooh. interesting.
<bofh^28> OHH.
<SnoopJeDi> when I was exposed to it, I found myself wishing I'd gotten more exposure to phase spaces/studied them more on my own
<SnoopJeDi> the potency of those concepts is consistently amazing

<SnoopJeDi> bofh^28, incidentally speaking of science history, I'm provisioning a server we've been given (!!!) for some MUCH larger simulations, and was stumped on a good hostname until I realized "lawrence" is the only thing I could possibly name it!

<bofh^28> well, that was. something.
<bofh^28> wandered thru Gare Saint-Lazare on my way between the Leroy Merlin Madeline & the Ligne 3.
<bofh^28> stopped briefly and looked at the train schedule & literally the guy next to me asked me where I was from and then offered me
<bofh^28> and I quote
<bofh^28> "quality hashish, 10EUR/bag"
<bofh^28> it was... difficult to not burst out hysterically laughing (I turned him down and walked away)
