<egg> no
<egg|anbo|egg> I am not sure there is one, especially if one goes into the more complicated details
<SnoopJ> gotcha. yea, it seems like particularly if you wanna get into the minutiae, you should probably just be reading the Consortium's documentation, notes, blah blah
<egg|anbo|egg> e.g. to truly understand the process of encoding cuneiform you’d need to see the specialized mailing lists (not all of which are public iiuc) and condense that down into something
<SnoopJ> discussion in another channel today about how RTL "shouldn't" be in Unicode and it got me wondering what the history there is
<SnoopJ> oh, yea, particular ranges are probably worthy of their own histories
<egg|anbo|egg> the proposals are only a condensate of much longer discussions in general
* SnoopJ nods
<egg|anbo|egg> > RTL "shouldn't" be in Unicode
<egg|anbo|egg> glare/wat
<SnoopJ> it was not a very good discussion
<egg|anbo|egg> it does not sound like one :-p
<SnoopJ> The linchpin of the argument (if we can call it that) was that it's "typographic" and that's not Unicode's job
<SnoopJ> and like if you think RTL is the worst of it, oh no
<egg|anbo|egg> lol
<SnoopJ> tbf I started the discussion by remarking on C++'s proposal to adopt Annex #31 being officially on its way to the core
<SnoopJ> and that kind of drifted sideways into...idontknowwhat
<SnoopJ> anyway, cheers

<UmbralRaptop> grrr
* UmbralRaptop spilled coffee on algoreb, and can't find the relevant screw drivers for opening it up to help with drying
* UmbralRaptop feels like whitequark would know what an appropriate drying time for an xps 13 is and/or the fluids risk

* UmbralRaptop 's knives (and other things) seem to be the wrong size/shape
<SnoopJ> UmbralRaptop, re: fluids risk, coffee is gonna be worse than water (acerbic + dissolved solids) but I wouldn't feel comfortable saying by how much
<UmbralRaptop> in conclusion: aaaaaaaa
<SnoopJ> was the spill on the keyboard?
<UmbralRaptop> yes
<SnoopJ> a lot of modern designs try to account for this and keep das fluid away from der blinkenlights AFAIK, but no idea about the XPS 13
<SnoopJ> looks like a Torx, probably T5?
<UmbralRaptop> Given the way I use it, partial loss of keyboard functionality is acceptable, but I'm not going to attempt to power it on for a while
<UmbralRaptop> yeah, Tsomething
<SnoopJ> ifixit says T5 in their teardown
<SnoopJ> anyway, keeping it off is definitely wise, but I'd personally definitely wanna get inside there
* UmbralRaptop discovered that the big river website has same day shipping in some cases, so we'll see
<SnoopJ> for screwdrivers? yea, helpful to have a set of torx on hand if you're the take-it-apart sort
* SnoopJ uses some metal doo-hickey that contains its own magnetic bits most of the time
<UmbralRaptop> this has unsurprisingly harmed my productivity
<SnoopJ> I would say yank the drive, but...
