Hm, E190 this time
<B787_300>
that is better than a CRJ100/200
* UmbralRaptor
feels like CRJs are meme planes now
<B787_300>
only the 100/200
<B787_300>
the 700 and 900 are just fine, especially the NGs because bigger windows that are positioned better

good(?) news, my baggage arrived early
<SnoopJeDi>
e-earlier than you?

DCAraptor: prob took the flight you missed
<B787_300>
SnoopJeDi: yeah it happens from time to time
<B787_300>
somehow when i was flying DAY-LGA-BOS somehow my bag made it to BOS about 1 hr before i did
<DCAraptor>
B787_300: that would be impressive given that it was briefly in my possession at DCA. Anyway, I found it, and am now waiting in line to jump through the relevant hoops
<B787_300>
DCAraptor: you mean in your possession at PHL?
<DCAraptor>
Perhaps your luggage tunneled through a classically forbidden region?
<DCAraptor>
B787_300: er, yeah
* DCAraptor
tired
<B787_300>
yeah you would think after some of the past terrorist bomb threats/plots/sucessess they would make sure you are on the plane your bag is on, but applarently it isnt as important if you have made at least 1 flight on that days itenerary
<SnoopJeDi>
B787_300, sure, cargo load balancing makes sense
<SnoopJeDi>
particularly for routes where you've got multiple stops
<SnoopJeDi>
...huh, I guess I fly those a lot less regularly than I used to
<bofh>
DCAraptor: SHIT YES
<B787_300>
SnoopJeDi: well in my case i was stunned because i dont think my bag was ever on a plane I was on... i did some digging after i got back and concluded that with the timing unless my bag was like the frist off and they sprinted it over to a plane that was about to push back for take off to BOS from LGA, my bag probably went through CLT
<bofh>
Meanwhile on my flight to Paris I had the fun situation where I was in the EU, and as Brexit hadn't happened yet, so was my luggage [misrouted to LGW], and on my flight back somehow it took a retour through *Lille* of all places and arrived two WEEKS after me, but I think that's just me being a bit cursèd.
<B787_300>
bofh remind me to never get on a plane/train/bus with you

bofh meant to say: Meanwhile on my flight to Paris I had the fun situation where I was in the EU, and as Brexit hadn't happened yet, so was my luggage [misrouted to LGW], and on my flight back somehow it took a detour through *Lille* of all places and arrived two WEEKS after me, but I think that's just me being a bit cursèd.
<bofh>
B787_300: I mean I seem to be okay with planes, it's just my luggage that seems to be affected
<B787_300>
or tram or just about any mode of conveyance
<B787_300>
like if we were on a chairlift i would be woried about the motor or the cable
<bofh>
Hey I took the Vieux Lyon funiculaire multiple times w/o issue for me or anyone else!
<bofh>
LOL
<bofh>
so I *have* mentioned that time I hotwired a carousel, right?
<DCAraptor>
O_o
<B787_300>
you carry H2SO4 on planes, modes of transportation seem to do weird things around you, and you have hotwired a carousel...
<B787_300>
and no i havent heard that story
<DCAraptor>
Did you use it as a low speed centrifuge?
<bofh>
It was 2AM in Parc Louise Michel, I had a pickset and a ready source of +48V and I wanted a ride, okay
DCAraptor is now known as WMATAraptor
<bofh>
(I still need to do that again and take video this time)
<bofh>
Also look the H2SO4 was an accident and I disposed of it safely in Manhattan and I've since carefully checked my carryon to make sure something like that doesn't happen again.
<bofh>
B/c it's actually a legit safety hazard to do that.

Hm yeah but then buses do that here too

Buses can have a capacity as high as 300 passengers. The most common type of bus is the single-deck rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker and articulated..."

bofh: also that whole crappy ml bach reminds me of that time i tried writing a canon on the aoe theme
<egg>
bofh: did i show you that silliness
<bofh>
egg: no you did not; you showed me TensorFlow Bach's attempt at doing one but not when you tried that, plz to show
<bofh>
(Also I miswrote that as 'TensorBlow' the first time >_<)
<egg>
why correct it,
<egg>
also apparently i wrote that thing in july 2013?
<egg>
in ANBO iirc
<bofh>
I mean I'm pretty sure large quantities of TensorBlow are snorted at most ML conferences,
<bofh>
also ANBO is good for that
<egg>
bofh: shared with drive
<bofh>
next time I'm there I actually intend to play something on the ANBO piano instead of being too skittish about it
<bofh>
now that I've practised enough to the point where I don't, like, actively fall over

falls over
<egg>
(admittedly eggs tend to do that)
<egg>
bofh: sent you a pdf and a mid
<egg>
bofh: the pdf is generated from a ly
<egg>
hm, also that was with my x220, I haven't installed lilypond on my x1 carbon apparently
<bofh>
Huh. It's an easy install,
<bofh>
also merci merci
<bofh>
so like, I for some reason was so out of practise for years that I used to be deathly afraid of anyone hearing me play music since I know I'd botch it so badly
<bofh>
then somehow between January and last week I just... practised a bunch and then one day stopped caring?
<egg>
bofh: also how shitty is that :-p
<bofh>
...fairly acceptable at first listen, at least as a canon. Let me relisten to the AoE theme now, sec.
<egg>
iirc i had to tweak the theme a bit so that it didn't break too many rules on its own
<egg>
ah right i was specifically using frescobaldi
<egg>
which seems to talk to me in nl
<egg>
bofh: how fucked up is the counterpoint,
<bofh>
It's dodgy in places but I don't think I've heard silliness like parallel fifths or voice-leading that doesn't resolve or whatnot
<egg>
bofh: you have the pdf too
<egg>
bofh: also can you be more specific about the dodginess :-p
<bofh>
It's a lot easier for me to tell dodgy counterpoint by ear than by looking at the voices (having the sheet music is handy so I can see *why* it's bad, but spotting mistakes is a lot easier via the "wtf this sounds bad / like it goes nowhere / like it harmonizes awfully with another voice" method than by staring at the page :p)
<bofh>
yeah sec
<egg>
bofh: also in that same directory there's a spreadsheet that was modified at the same time, so i guess i used that to help with the constraint solving, but i have absolutely no idea what the numbers in it are about
