12:39 <UmbralRaptop> nyaa

12:46 <UmbralRaptop> (look, if a bird is socialized around cats, they'll make cat sounds, right?)

12:46 <UmbralRaptop> Also, tempted to poke at some more old papers now.

13:54 <egg> UmbralRaptop: "Saturne, Jupiter & Herschel" best list of planets

13:55 <egg> note that this long predates the discovery of Le Verrier (1790 or 1791)

13:55 <UmbralRaptop> Did ⚳⚴⚵⚶, etc ever have fun names?

13:55 <UmbralRaptop> … oh

13:55 <UmbralRaptop> Predates those also

14:37 <UmbralRaptop> Hrm. I think ~5-15% of bus service at GMU is specifically for people who live on campus, and work at the pentagon

14:39 <egg|cell|egg> !acr -add:GTRF Galileo Terrestrial Reference Frame

14:39 <galois> Definition added!

14:40 <UmbralRaptop> Is that the reference frame where antennae don't open?

15:08 <egg|work|egg> UmbralRaptop: apparently Herschel is a name Lalande came up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus#Name

15:08 <galois> [WIKIPEDIA] Uranus#Name | "Uranus (from the Latin name Ūranus for the Greek god Οὐρανός) is the seventh planet from the Sun. It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have bulk chemical compositions which differ from that..."

15:15 <egg|work|egg> whitequark: I keep reading valuation as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valuation_(algebra) https://twitter.com/whitequark/status/1135507796504535040

15:15 <kmath> <whitequark> $5.1 billion valuation, 1000 employees and not a single programmer who isn't an idiot. why do we need silicon valley again

15:15 <galois> [WIKIPEDIA] Valuation (algebra) | "In algebra (in particular in algebraic geometry or algebraic number theory), a valuation is a function on a field that provides a measure of size or multiplicity of elements of the field. It generalizes to commutative algebra the notion of size inherent in consideration of the degree of a pole or multiplicity..."

17:41 <egg|cell|egg> Oh wow 北斗1 was weird

18:30 <UmbralRaptop> %% LaTeX deluxetable generator for the AASTeX package. %% Written by Greg Schwarz (5/1/2001).

18:30 <UmbralRaptop> aaaaaa?

18:41 <egg> UmbralRaptop: ?

18:42 <UmbralRaptop> trying to generate tables. Confusingly, AAS's provided style form doesn't seem to support the tables that they want me to use

18:43 <kmath> <CrayfordAS> Thinking about buying new binoculars... how about these?😉 https://t.co/dh9CyvRdc4

18:46 <UmbralRaptop> ah, deluxe not delux

21:32 <egg> okay without tuning, atmospheric autopilot is *very* keen to exceed the flight envelope

21:53 <egg> UmbralRaptop: ferram4_: Iskierka: today in egg things, mach 6 aircraft

21:53 <Iskierka> zoom?

21:53 <egg> (then the ramjet blew up so I'm gliding while waiting for mach number low enough to turn on the engines)

21:54 <egg> Iskierka: nah, 2 turbojets + ramjet

21:54 <egg> (and I forgot to throttle down before the ramjet blew up)

21:54 <Iskierka> zoomjet

21:55 <UmbralRaptop> Stock aircraft are hilariously easy to make thermally limited if you don't overbuild. I guess that applies to FAR also?

21:57 <egg> UmbralRaptop: well, RO so AJE

21:57 <egg> UmbralRaptop: so the engines are thermally limited way before the airframe

21:58 <UmbralRaptop> egg: to be fair, my typical stock zoomjet suffers from the crew area being thermally limited >_>

21:58 <ferram4_> Well, the airframe is made of parts designed for at least SR-71 level stuff, so...

21:58 <egg> ferram4_: yeah

21:58 <egg> I'm using the mystery CR2 ramjet and the two Atar 9K turbojets

21:58 <egg> the back of the aircraft looks a bit odd

21:59 <egg> ferram4_: the FAR continued thing seems to draw the transonic design curves in the same layer as the aircraft, so they're rather hard to read >_>

21:59 <ferram4_> hmm

22:00 <ferram4_> Well, I'd try to help fix it, but I'm up to my eyeballs in studying and work

22:00 <ferram4_> And that stuff is, like, my least favorite part of modding

22:02 <egg> ferram4_: yeah don't worry about that

22:02 <egg> it's probably the maintainer doing something silly, it used to be drawn on top of everything iirc

22:28 <egg> ferram4_: yeah the airframe starts being thermally limited around Mach 6.5 (flying at 20 000 m)

23:57 <egg> hm my attempts to scale this aircraft into a smol airliner don't take off at subsonic speeds
