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.

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

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.

(literals are Universal_Real, you only get inexact arithmetic (fixed or floating or whatever) after uttering the name of the type with inexact arithmetic)

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

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
