<UmbralRaptor> ;8ball Am I going to become the sysadmin for our cluster?
<kmath> UmbralRaptor: It is decidedly so
* UmbralRaptor feels anxious
<SilverFox> Nice
<SilverFox> could you imagine if that's how hiring went?
<UmbralRaptor> Explicitly stochastic hiring would be an improvement for some institutions
<SilverFox> I mean... maybe
<B787_300> SilverFox: as long as i get a response i am pretyt happy
<B787_300> s/pretyt/pretty
<galois> B787_300 meant to say: SilverFox: as long as i get a response i am pretty happy
<SilverFox> ah thank you for that correction, I wasnt able to understand it otherwise
<B787_300> (are you being sarcastic or does pretyt have an actual meaning?)
<SilverFox> /s
<B787_300> i figured, but who knows what words look like when romanized from Cyrillic languages

<egg|work|egg> mofh: I just remembered that vi quốc is just the sino-viet reading of 国
<egg|work|egg> mofh: which I'd pronounce [wəwk˧˥] :-p
<egg|work|egg> [kuo³⁵], [wəwk˧˥], same thing,
<mofh> I mean the Middle Chinese was [kwok], Mandarin just likes dropping word-final obstruents (both Cantionese and, say, Shanghainese retain the final k in that word). And at that point the Viet isstarting to look quite familiar imho. :P
<mofh> semi-relatedly, excrement is *really* hitting the ventilator in HK right now.
<mofh> like, the protestors stormed the legislature levels of shit going down.
<mofh> (I really, really, really hope it goes well for them and I've honestly been nothing short of amazed the past few days).
<mofh> I've seen the videos, it's tamer than a typical Saturday in Paris the last few months :p
<egg|work|egg> mofh: well, the south viet is kinda wonky
<egg|work|egg> mofh: i mean, storming official buildings goes beyond your usual saturday
<egg|work|egg> mofh: that's more like november, and that was the really bad bit of it
<mofh> egg|work|egg: I mean the stakes in HK are literally the future autonomy of the region and it's basically a now-or-never situation given what Beijing's been doing lately.
<mofh> egg|work|egg: the stakes in November were, uh... I'm still not quite sure. gas tax? we want to light some buildings on fire? I mean there *is* systemic inequality here that deserves riots, and I'm pissed that Macron backpedaled on an additional tax on the richest 20% (I do wonder how much got paid under the table for that), but still, the activation energy for "let's light some buildings on fire" in FR
<mofh> is amusingly low.

<UmbralRaptor> Wood burning heating makes coal look clean >_<

<UmbralRaptor> *covered
<e_14159> Well, at least it's not nuclear material burning.

<SilverFox> egg, do you guys take advantage of GPU compute for N-body physics?
<egg> no
<SilverFox> Do you have any plans to?
<egg|zzz|egg> no
<SilverFox> Sick aight
<egg|zzz|egg> this is very sequential ultimately
<SilverFox> sequential how?
<egg|zzz|egg> in that every stage of the integrator requires information from the entire previous stage, for all other bodies
<egg|zzz|egg> so it's not parallel for long
<egg|zzz|egg> it can be parallel between vessels when they are integrated in an ephemeris (and we do use that parallelism); but in that case you have immense amounts of code and logic in each thread
<SilverFox> right right
<SilverFox> I figure you take a "snapshot" similar as what I did with KWS, so that you can factor each body's affects on another, without it being thrown off skew, yeah?

<egg> whitequark: re. https://twitter.com/whitequark/status/1145784006593695746, note that bit is masculine, rather than feminine like its homophone bite, so that sticky bit ends up being "bit collant" [kɔlɑ̃] if translated that way (e.g. in http://users-tima.imag.fr/cdsi/guyot/Cours/Oparithm/francais/Flottan.htm), whereas the feminine form of the same adjective wousd be collante, [kɔlɑ̃t]
<kmath> <whitequark> this gives the phrase "sticky bit" a completely new and very specific meaning ⏎ https://t.co/xAC32WloS2
<whitequark> :D
<egg> whitequark: btw, mofh informed me that there are smol candy bars that are called "bites" in English, which makes sense and isn't very funny per se
<egg> however, canada
<whitequark> however, canada
<egg> whitequark: "bite" (as in, that which is obtained by biting/the quantity that you eat in one bite) translates to french as "bouchée" (mouthful if you want)
<egg> whitequark: so very logically, bilingual canadian packaging for those things has "bites" "bouchées"
<egg> whitequark: however
<egg> whitequark: bouchée is *also* the feminine past participle of the verb boucher, "to clog"
<egg> and (most) adjectives are placed after the noun that they qualify
<egg> whitequark: so this packaging, if you read all of it in french, says, in perfectly syntactically correct and idiomatic french, "clogged dicks"
<egg> whitequark: well, "to clog"/"to plug" that sort of thing
UmbralRaptor has quit [Ping timeout: 202 seconds]
<egg> putting the stopper back on a bottle would use that verb as well, so it's not just "clogging", but it does include that
<egg> whitequark: and yes, mofh's link is a page full of candy bars that say "clogged dicks" on the packaging.
<egg> canada!
<mofh> I'm just astounded *Nestlé* of all people managed to pull this off, you'd think that they'd be able to find, like, one French speaker there that'd tell them.
<mofh> (Or maybe they all just thought it too funny and decided to let the company go thru with it for their own amusement, which... actually yeah that makes sense).
<egg> mofh: does it weird out the locals, or is it just fr-FR though
<egg> fr-CA speakers find a lot of fr-FR profanity foreign and weird, and vice-versa, so it's possible it doesn't mean that in the local language
<mofh> egg: it's a running joke for the locals, rofl.
<egg> okay
<mofh> I mean fr-CA does have some weird things, like you get sweared at and your first instinct is "wait when did I step into a Catholic mass?"
<mofh> But 'bit' is consistent between both.
<egg> no "bit" means "bit"
<egg> you mean "bite" presumably
UmbralRaptop has joined #kspacademia
<mofh> yes that
<mofh> look transcribing silent letters is hard sometimes
<egg> mofh: other homophone of the same: "bitte"
<egg> mooring post
<egg> at least bit and bite have different gender
<egg> bite and bitte have the same
<egg> so it's from "mooring dick" except in writing
<egg> s/'s/'s indistinguishable/
<galois> egg meant to say: so it's indistinguishable from "mooring dick" except in writing
<mofh> and in conclusion, penis penis penis
<whitequark> гь
<whitequark> *um
<whitequark> what
<mofh> I'm just amused at the sheer density of dicks in the above log, lol.
<egg> whitequark: what what
<whitequark> lol
<egg> mofh: rain \o/
<mofh> egg: here, Zürich, Normandy?
<mofh> (well obv. not here)
<egg> zurich
<egg> not much of it tbh but should cool things a bit
<UmbralRaptop> Hopefully
<egg> meanwhile dowloading some IGS MGEX directories so that MOAR TESTDATA,
<SilverFox> written french is satan
<SilverFox> I have to put up with quebec french shenanigans
<SilverFox> calling a car an "urkshaw"
<SilverFox> however it's spelled, only heard it, but a car is an urkshaw
<egg> fr-CA famously uses "char" for car (which in fr-FR means either tank or chariot); I suspect what you're parsing that way is this, preceded by another word which you mistakenly fuse therein
<egg> mofh: raining quite a bit now
<SilverFox> nope, coworker who speaks french from quebec when I was like "the word for car is urkshaw" because I was wondering what the word was, turns out the word I wanted was voiture, but thats elitist french apparently
<egg> voiture is fr-FR
<SilverFox> yeah
<egg> SilverFox: but it may be that the word that you're fusing into "char" is just the article
<SilverFox> I'll get him to spell it, hold on
<SilverFox> now we wait, I'll be back *waves cape and disappears into the night*
<SilverFox> okay back with info, it is indeed char, un char, but they fucking add a k sound with accent
* UmbralRaptop can only read "char" as a C datatype
<SilverFox> same
