egg|work|egg: so today I went down to Gare de Lyon and successfully bought a train ticket!
<mofh>
it only took... *checks watch* 3.5 hours

Have you considered upgrading to Amtrak?

<mofh>
UmbralRaptor: so the issue is I tend to curse transit somehow and this is especially bad at Gare de Lyon
<UmbralRaptor>
hrm
<mofh>
the last two times I tried to obtain a ticket there for something it took *literally the entire day*

err I guess that should be 3d255 since 0 is a roll

<whitequark>
egg|zzz|egg: basically ok
<UmbralRaptop>
mofh: what's your opinion of eg: Laderach?
<mofh>
UmbralRaptop: haven't tried yet
<UmbralRaptop>
hm
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptop: how did you like it
<egg|zzz|egg>
infinite planes of chocolate
<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: I'm not sure where I stand on Ducasse vs. Hévin. I got 3 there (74% Venezuela, 74% Domingo, 60% Milk w/Almonds) and I *think* I very slightly prefer them to the Ducasse but it's been over 6 months and I need to refresh my reference for the latter.
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh_: did you get some ganaches
<mofh>
YES!
<egg|zzz|egg>
the hevin ganaches are really nice
<mofh>
Those were delicious
<egg|zzz|egg>
I prefer them to the ducasse ganaches
<mofh>
I mean I haven't tried the Ducasse ganaches, just their bars
<mofh>
(I should get some of those as well for reference)
<egg|zzz|egg>
also it's been too long since i've eaten either, i should order some
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh: or you should come to zurich with a bag full of french chocolate one of these days :-p
<mofh>
(Really should've gotten some when I was in Gare de Lyon this early afternoon, but I think my priority then was Escape From Gare de Lyon)
<SnoopJeDi>
I would watch that movie
<SnoopJeDi>
especially if it had Ernest Borgnine
<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: :P
<mofh>
egg|zzz|egg: (it depends on time and cost and stuff, but I'd love to visit Zürich again sometime).
<UmbralRaptop>
tasty finite subsets of planes
<egg|zzz|egg>
mofh: also at some point you need to visit venice
<mofh>
also I think the thing that pisses me off the most about those Lime-S pieces of disposable metal around a BDLC motor and a bunch of 18650s is I swear the people riding them are always the biggest clowns imaginable.
<mofh>
like, don't try to "weave" THRU THE CROWDS BY THE LINEUP IN THE ENTRY QUEUE TO LE LOUVRE
<mofh>
one, you'll piss everyone off
<mofh>
two, you'll get yourself badly hurt
<mofh>
(security flagged the dipshit down after he ran over several peoples' feet)
<SnoopJeDi>
WAIT they use 18650s?!

SnoopJeDi: of course, what did you think they'd use?
<SnoopJeDi>
omg
<mofh>
they're Designed In California piles of crap with a typical lifetime of 28 days
<SnoopJeDi>
yes but think of the upshot: the short lifetime means they realize the products original intent of urban disorder that much sooner!
<mofh>
how do you think you break even on a design like that? A) buy the cheapest reject batteries you can find, since they only need to last a month at most.
<SnoopJeDi>
I'm bamboozled that it's literally just a bunch of 18650s holy shit
<SnoopJeDi>
but as you say, of course they are, this is peak SV
<SnoopJeDi>
well, not peak, but quintessential
<SnoopJeDi>
although I'm not super familiar with battery technology so I don't know if that's common practice or anything but good grief charlie brown

mofh: I wonder whether there's a way to make an implementation along the lines of https://twitter.com/jckarter/status/1144239197064028160 that's wrong only because of sqrt(-0) = -0 (contrary to rootn(-0, 2))
<kmath>
<jckarter> implement fabs(double), wrong answers only
<X>
Can someone explain the concept of -0 to me outside the context of limits?
<SnoopJeDi>
X, it's not a stretch to imagine systems that have multiple additive identities. Negative zero usually refers to systems that don't have a unique one (because Reasons™)
<uovo>
X: SnoopJeDi: in the context of floating point arithmetics, the context is essentially limits (via underflow) though
<uovo>
SnoopJeDi: also +0 is not an additive identity, since -0 + +0 = +0
<uovo>
X: in the same way that the infinities are limits (via overflow)
<SnoopJeDi>
uovo, yea I guess I got nerd-sniped by the more general idea, and also trying to explain floating point is A) a nightmare B) something y'all already do regularly
