okay im tryna math and I think I'm retarded
<SilverFox>
if you have something, like a TV or phone, measured diagonally on its screen, can you treat the a and b in a^2+b^2=c^2 equation as being the same, for sake of measuring the surface area of the square resulting in said hypotenuse?
<SilverFox>
my galaxy z fold2 main display is 7.6" diagonally
<SilverFox>
but like, the hypotenuse should remain proportionate to the lengths of the sides right, if you increase one side by 1 unit, you decrease the other side by 1 unit, and it should match out, no?
<raptop>
no
<SilverFox>
well damn that's where my math is getting fucky
<raptop>
!wa 3^2+4^2
<raptop>
!wa 2^2+5^2
<raptop>
feh
<SilverFox>
lol nice
<raptop>
well, anyway, that's a counterexample
<raptop>
I mean, if you're dealing with fixed aspect ratios, you can get the length of each side from the diagonal. But there's also the whole thing that those numbers are often only counting the screen, so actual phone size can vary a bit
<SilverFox>
yeah I'm trying to find ppi, so I do want only the screen
<raptop>
ah, fair enough
<SilverFox>
(I found the number from a website now, but I wanted to see why my math was being fucky)
<raptop>
I want to say that most screens are 9:16, but there are eggceptions
<raptop>
Ah, discord. Why do you handle updates by having me download and eggsecute .deb files? Do you think you're like flash or libreoffice on windows?
<SilverFox>
raptop, today the aspect ratio of screens varies so much, the galaxy z fold2 main display is 1768x2208 pixels
<SilverFox>
and the cover display is 816x2260 which is 25:9
<raptop>
hrm
<raptop>
guess I was wrong

my S9+ I have right now is 2960x1440
<raptop>
In terms of pixel count, that fits right between my laptops. Provided you include the external monitors

doomedRaptop: made a Союз-Т for the Салют-7 and a ТМ for Мир (affixed to Квант-1) https://imgur.com/a/A5Jbaaj
<doomedRaptop>
yY
<egg|laptop|egg>
(also that is an МС in the background)
<doomedRaptop>
yay
<egg|laptop|egg>
I should probably rework the colour on some Мир bits
<egg|laptop|egg>
and I definitely need to build a stand because right now it has structural issues unless it is in free fall
<doomedRaptop>
The MS presumably came with a time machine
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
I mean, the Салют without its ТКС next to the fully-completed Мир already involves quite a bit of time travel
<egg|laptop|egg>
September 1985 is when Салют-7 acquires a ТКС that it keeps until reentry, and Мир is in a May 1996 or later configuration (Квант-1 has two solar arrays so the MCSA has been installed)
<doomedRaptop>
Timeline where Salyut-7 got a reboost?
<egg|laptop|egg>
probably even post June 1996 because the Рапана girder is long
<doomedRaptop>
Say, by a Buran
<egg|laptop|egg>
doomedRaptop: and a space cat ate its ТКС?
<doomedRaptop>
yes
<egg|laptop|egg>
(do not eat the old space station it is moldy)
<doomedRaptop>
(bad kitty)
<egg|laptop|egg>
(wait no it is Салют 6 that got abandoned because mold apparently)
<doomedRaptop>
I mean, you could just add mold, because they use the same design, right?
<egg|laptop|egg>
yeah
<egg|laptop|egg>
well, it is a general problem that space stations get mouldy
<egg|laptop|egg>
Мир reportedly stank
<whitequark>
cant you just air them out or something
<doomedRaptop>
Well, it was impractical to repressurize spektr
<whitequark>
i would hope you are not representative of an average academic
<egg|laptop|egg>

this sounds harsh but i'm too tired with the world today to rephrase it

I did have some fun digging up some old references in various languages in that MSc thesis
<egg|laptop|egg>
looks like 2 19th century references (both french), 3 18th century ones (one German, one Latin, one French)
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: doomedRaptop: re. repressurising спектр, that was because it was damaged though; docking new modules required depressurizing the node to move the docking system around and they did that many times
egg|cell|egg has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<doomedRaptop>
huh
<egg|laptop|egg>
but I guess this does not get rid of the mold, and it is inconvenient enough that you don’t want to do it on a daily basis just so it stinks less
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: afaict the current strategy is to clean what they can, have good filtering in the life support system, and keep an eye on what grows where they cannot do much
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: this suggests that design considerations can help though: airflow that leads to condensation in easy-to-reach places rather than behind consoles, easily serviceable surfaces, good filtering systems in the LSS
<egg|laptop|egg>
whitequark: I mean if the crew need not survive (or can retreat to another spacecraft) maybe you could try ventilating with standard fumigators after flushing the atmosphere out?
<kmath>
<XMPPwocky> @whitequark afaik it shoooould- I can't find any major incompatibilities that aren't themselves nasty, though note… https://t.co/vn94XFjwem
<whitequark>
yeah that's what being suggested here
