02:48 <WeylandsWings> raptop: can you help me parse "We will also upgrade our spectral inference and in-band integration as required by the solicitation by identifying and resolving data gaps and including effects such as Doppler shift and interstellar medium extinction to provide the highest fidelity in-band signatures for stellar and non-stellar objects from 0.2 V 15 fYm."

02:48 <WeylandsWings> specifically the 0.2 V 15fYm

02:55 <WeylandsWings> yeah that is what I am getting hung up on

03:00 <raptop> or a typo?

03:10 <WeylandsWings> darn

03:19 <raptop> on an unrelated but related note, have you run across any proposals for an "astrostationary orbit"?

03:45 <WeylandsWings> no? but what is astrostationary supposded to mean?

03:45 <WeylandsWings> an orbit that is aligned with the meridain and has the same rate of rotation as it around the earth or something?

03:47 <raptop> Not 100% clear, but presumably one that appears to move at the sidereal rate as seen from earth

03:48 <raptop> And I keep on picturing this distant retrograde orbit that cannot possibly work because it would be outside of Earth's hill sphere

04:50 <iximeow> raptop: central nebula in the first one is m17, the second is ngc 6888 (very faint and hard to see though)

04:53 <raptop> ah

05:16 <iximeow> correct!

05:23 <raptop> yay

19:36 <raptop> !u ෯

19:36 <galois> ෯: U+0def SINHALA LITH DIGIT NINE

20:11 <raptop> My organization is named ANBO and I signed up with a random private email because both academic outlook accounts I tried have teams disabled for reasons

20:42 <egg|laptop|egg> cursed idea: dwarf fortress VR

20:44 <raptop> Minecraft, but with more death?

20:57 <whitequark> death, but with more minecraft

20:57 <whitequark> egg|laptop|egg: trick answer: this is just arma 3

21:02 <whitequark> though it doesn't have VR and i don't think anyone will ever add VR to it

21:02 <whitequark> people do use head trackers a lot though

21:07 <raptop> !u ÅÅ

21:07 <galois> Å: U+212b ANGSTROM SIGN

21:07 <galois> Å: U+00c5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

21:08 <raptop> egg|laptop|egg: question: which of these two is preferred for the unit corresponding to 1e-10 m? (Or is there a third symbol)

21:10 <raptop> whitequark: death, but with more building, mining, lava, drinking, monsters, demons, and body horror?

21:18 <whitequark> body horror?

21:19 <raptop> The weird anatomy of the forgotten beasts, and what some of their diseases do, I think

21:19 <whitequark> oh

21:19 <raptop> Also some things like the bug where an animal or dwarf gets wet in a warm place and their fat melts off

21:19 <egg|laptop|egg> raptop: one normalizes to the other

21:20 <egg|laptop|egg> !nfc ÅÅ

21:20 <galois> Unexpected error (invalid normalization form) from egg|laptop|egg at 2020-10-15 17:20:07.478211. Message was: !nfc ÅÅ

21:20 <egg|laptop|egg> !NFC ÅÅ

21:20 <galois> Å: U+00c5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

21:20 <galois> Å: U+00c5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

21:20 <egg|laptop|egg> raptop: ^ this is the canonical letter

21:21 <raptop> All hail the ring above

22:37 <egg|laptop|egg> !wpn whitequark and her cats

22:37 <whitequark> ohhh nice

22:37 <whitequark> so, another cat?

22:38 <egg|laptop|egg> sounds about right

22:45 <raptop> oops

22:45 <raptop> TFW when using completely SI units makes your values somewhat cursed

22:46 <raptop> Relatedly, should emission from the surface of a blackbody be measured in pascals/second? Asking for a foe

22:50 <raptop> Also, it's eggstremely Fun to see a flux in Janskys and a passband in Ångstrøms

23:00 <raptop> huh, numpy has a built-in trapezoid integrator

23:04 <SnoopJ> it can do polynomials, too, which is I guess less impressive

23:08 <raptop> huh, I didn't realize it could do some degree of symbolic manipulation

23:22 <SnoopJ> it's technically not, 1D polynomials are just easy to stick in there (and common)
