<raptop> today in wikipedia silliness, why are the retrograde moons shown with negative periods? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter#List
<galois> [WIKIPEDIA] Moons of Jupiter#List | "There are 79 known moons of Jupiter, not counting a number of moonlets likely shed from the inner moons, and S/2003 J 24, whose orbital elements have not yet been published. All together, they form a satellite system which is called the Jovian system. The most massive of the moons are the four Galilean..."
<egg|laptop|egg> iximeow: so it looks like Mark and I are drafting amendments to UAX9, UTS31, UTR36, and UTS39
<iximeow> Mark?
<iximeow> congrats on fixing a cve though :)

<egg|laptop|egg> I mean, it’s inspired by the latest kerfluffle but it’s not really about fixing a CVE (which should have been a CWE at best), it’s about making bidirectional program text not suck
<egg|laptop|egg> ;سَنُّور‎ <مواءvector::std isn’t a security issue, it’s a usability issue
<egg|laptop|egg> uh

<egg|laptop|egg_> iximeow: now mind you I did find an *actual* Unicode-related CVE a while back. https://www.google.com/search?q=Robin+Leroy+site%3Aapple.com&tbo=1
<galois> title: Robin Leroy site:apple.com - Google Search
<egg|laptop|egg_> actual as in « it crashes the application »
<SnoopJ> neat

<raptop> It sounds like https://www.greatobservatories.org/ is going to be real? (...on a 30+ year timescale)
<galois> title: The New Great Observatories
<galois> title: Astrophysics decadal survey recommends a program of flagship space telescopes - SpaceNews
* raptop remembers joking about how HabEx is LUVOIR C. I was not expecting the decadal report to more or less agree
<raptop> IROUV: because it's not LUVOIR per se?
* raptop presses F to pay respects to SOFIA
<SnoopJ> oh no what happened
<SnoopJ> oh, right, decadal survey
* SnoopJ needs another coffee
<SnoopJ> F
<raptop> So, medium (sorta) sized general purpose space telescope (vs HabEx/LUVOIR), tech development for FIR and X-ray (vs OST and Lynx)
<raptop> Also several large ground based observatories

* raptop blinks at an IT email
<raptop> Earlier this year, Information Technology Services (ITS) announced that eduroam would replace MASON-SECURE as Mason’s primary Wi-Fi network this fall.
<raptop> Based on feedback from the Mason community, ITS is currently investigating acquiring an onboarding solution to simplify the transition from MASON-SECURE to eduroam. As a result, ITS is delaying the official retirement of MASON-SECURE until summer 2022.
<raptop> eduroam: from the best perk of academia to mandatory?
* raptop really should remember that most things are a straight line when drawn on a log-log scale with a fat marker

<raptop> Does this count as cat cognition? https://twitter.com/the_aiju/status/1456388800930844683
* raptop ponders IROUV's launch date is at least 20 years out, FIR and X-ray are getting R&D now, a probe class mission in like 10 years, and it sounds like radio is in trouble from starlink?
