<egg|laptop|egg_> bofh: what kind of drink is a lorentz factor anyway
<bofh> egg|laptop|egg_: I mean by its name it'd have to be something which causes perceptual time dilation for the person imbibing it, so... strong coffee w/15mg d-amphetamine sulfate sounds about right.
<egg|laptop|egg_> blarg i get κ = +13.99413(13) where ιξιων gives 13.999300
<bofh> That seems *reasonably* close?
<egg|laptop|egg_> yes but one is much closer to 14 than the other
<bofh> true.

<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: making a Paris-Brest
<egg|laptop|egg> (not a Paris-Брэст :-p)
<bofh> ooh, tasty. what's the procedure?
<egg|laptop|egg> don't have any sliced almonds though so it's missing that
<egg|laptop|egg> made the praliné with powdered almonds, which I have for some reason
<bofh> *powdered* almonds? what on *earth*?
<bofh> like I've heard of sliced almonds (I even have some right now), but never powdered ones.
<bofh> (I have whole almonds, sliced almonds, and benzaldehyde-in-water here).
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: they're used a lot in pastry
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: e.g. for macarons
<egg|laptop|egg> or frangipane
<egg|laptop|egg> basically any almond-containing doughey thing
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: for praliné you should probably use a mix of hazelnuts and almonds, and since you need to crush the caramel you could start with whole ones, but I only have a handful of hazelnuts and no whole almonds afaik
<bofh> ahh, yeah that makes sense.

<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: buying some books (Satellites: de Kepler au GPS and Ignition!), do you have any suggestions of things i should get
<UmbralRaptop> Dear Patrick,
<UmbralRaptop> Your results for your Qualifying Exam is:
<UmbralRaptop> QM=46 (fail)
* UmbralRaptop sobs
<SnoopJeDi> :(
Ellied has joined #kspacademia
<egg|laptop|egg> UmbralRaptop: we could spend some time poking at QM when you're in Switzerland if you want
<UmbralRaptop> QM, EM, and/or SM
<egg|laptop|egg> SM?
<UmbralRaptop> Statistical Mechanics. Or as Landau calls it, statistics.

<egg|laptop|egg> (literals are Universal_Real, you only get inexact arithmetic (fixed or floating or whatever) after uttering the name of the type with inexact arithmetic)
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: I guess this also holds for VHDL since they took the Ada 83 reference manual and glued HDL warts onto it :-p
<bofh> I mean the more I read thru VHDL docs the more I've come to the conclusion this is prolly the most popular version of I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Ada in use :p

<SilverFox> Math Meme of the day: Topology is just spicy Set Theory
<bofh> sure, if you're talking about 1800s point-set topology and nothing beyond that >_>
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: isn't point-set more recent than the rest? usually the formalism comes late
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: the problem is the warts they put on top of ada seem to be designed in a very different style :-p
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: also I was buying books, I forgot
<egg|laptop|egg> bofh: any book ideas?
