!wpn whitequark
* galois
gives whitequark a niobium fork
* UmbralRaptor
wonders if that site is full of threading standards
<UmbralRaptor>
egg: a unit of weight is reasonable for sizing supports
<egg|cell|egg>
Yeah
<UmbralRaptor>
!wpn whitequark
* galois
gives whitequark a muon
<egg|cell|egg>
Less so for general purpose telescope description

Does this count as high AoA reentry? Asking for a friend

mofh: how is the transpose written in modern french notation
<egg|work|egg>
it used to be prefix superscript t, but I wonder whether anglo-saxon influence happened
<egg|work|egg>
i.e., ᵗA where the anglo-saxon notation is Aᵀ
<SilverFox>
egg, what kind of dishes would a 5 star french restaurant serve?
<egg|work|egg>
restaurants aren't hotel, the Michelin goes to 3 :-p
<egg|work|egg>
s/el/els/
<galois>
egg|work|egg meant to say: restaurants aren't hotels, the Michelin goes to 3 :-p
<SilverFox>
I want the creme a la creme
<egg|work|egg>
ah yes, cream with cream, the Norman delicacy mentioned in Astérix
<SilverFox>
why do so many restuarants think a meal is like, 4 morsels of food
<SilverFox>
is there an additive version of factorial?
<whitequark>
"arithmetic sequence sum"
<SilverFox>
that definitely rolls off the tongue well
<whitequark>
you could compute it with gauss' method iirc
<whitequark>
sum(1..n) = n*(n+1)/2
<SilverFox>
Let π=e=3
<SilverFox>
Let π=22/7
<SnoopJeDi>
mofh, this is relevant to your interests, and a planetary scientist I know on another network brought it to my attention. Any immediate thoughts strike you about how one would proceed in decoding decades-old mass spec data without a full specification of the system that produced it? https://github.com/marsviking/GCMS-decoding-effort
<UmbralRaptop>
SilverFox: ah, you've seen us snark about -funsafe math
<SnoopJeDi>
err, not mass spec, gas chroma
<SilverFox>
UmbralRaptop, apparently there is a bunch of "let" memes in this mathematical memes group I'm in
<kmath>
<mcclure111> My brain is doing the thing from Mr. Robot of find/replacing words such that when I see "IDE" I read "a text editor, but slow"
egg|cell|egg has joined #kspacademia
<SnoopJeDi>
as if text editors need to go particularly fast :P
<whitequark>
they do
<whitequark>
input latency is hell
<SnoopJeDi>
yea, agreed
<SnoopJeDi>
I find that my fingers outpace my brain when I'm programming, though
<SnoopJeDi>
might be more me than anything
<SnoopJeDi>
OTOH, I learned about vim's ins-completion features this week so...
<whitequark>
SnoopJeDi: i tend to alternate thinking and typing
<SnoopJeDi>
whitequark, that scans, I feel like I see contemplative process from other programmers I admire
<SnoopJeDi>
I'm sure I'll be changing my opinions about it now that banging on the keyboard is explicitly my job

<SnoopJeDi>
pretty sure the lower bound is the right one to use there
<whitequark>
SnoopJeDi: thanks
<whitequark>
SnoopJeDi: hm.
<whitequark>
so let's say we use a 4-tree and have 32 leaves
<whitequark>
that would have 32/4=8 nodes at h-1, 8/4=2 nodes at h-2, and 1 node at h-3. 11 total
<whitequark>
i don't see how to use either of those formulas to get this value
