<GreeningGalaxy>
well. I somehow got a B in a class I was sure I was going to get a C or below in (classical mech II)
<GreeningGalaxy>
I guess the prof really liked my final paper? I thought it was impossible for me to get a B since I'd missed a few assignments and hadn't done remarkably well on most of the others.
<UmbralRaptor>
Yay

KDE's fuzzy clock is amusing. has a fuzziness slider, most accurate gives 5 minutes, least accurate says "middle of week"
<egg|zzz|egg>
Iskierka: I read that up to the comma, and thought it was fuzzy in the sense of hair
<egg|zzz|egg>
then I was disappointed

<diodelass> Someone on IRC just told me I'd never amount to anything because... wait for it... I didn't want to buy a desktop PC instead of a laptop. ?
<egg|zzz|egg>

GreeningGalaxy: have you tried ##openfpga?
<UmbralRaptor>
See also the second tweet.
<egg|zzz|egg>
there's whitequark there
<egg|zzz|egg>
UmbralRaptor: yeah
<UmbralRaptor>
Mind you, a MBA makes me miss desktop features like >1.2Mpix screens
<Iskierka>
... frankly I think I end up doing more interesting stuff with my laptop. Though that's the one I've bothered to put linux on and which I have with me at all times
<Iskierka>
aren't macs supposed to have good screens?
<UmbralRaptor>
Iskierka: behold the power of marketing?
<Iskierka>
I thought high-resolution at least
<UmbralRaptor>
It's a 1440x900 monitor.
<Iskierka>
ouch
<UmbralRaptor>
I mean, it's better than Urvogel's 1280x800, but this MBA is ~8 years newer…
<GreeningGalaxy>
Yeah, he was on about how "nobody in today's world wants to wait for a lower-performance machine to get something done" and I was like uh, if your CPU is the bottleneck of your productivity, then I don't know what to tell you?
<GreeningGalaxy>
specifically if your *desktop* CPU is the bottleneck of your productivity. If it's some cluster or research machine, fine.
<egg|zzz|egg>
anyway, you might like ##openfpga ; it seems like a sane place and pertains to eleggtronics
<egg|zzz|egg>
also also someone writing a VHDL parser because any good channel must have madness
* UmbralRaptor
stares at Keldysh (and the UMKC imac)'s C2Ds. And Urvogel's C1D.
<Iskierka>
I mean if you were using a pitop as a main machine he might have a point
* Iskierka
is long-term considering the 2880x1620 screen for this laptop, as replacement parts are relatively easily found
<GreeningGalaxy>
except not even, because Pis are so central to my research and I really have little need for anything with more heft.
<Iskierka>
mine takes long enough in an apt-get upgrade that I could see it presenting a limiting factor. Not a major one, but running exclusively pis could get annoying
<Iskierka>
huh, this review says the 3K screen is also non-glossy. I thought it was which was one factor that made it dubious. Now it's more likely
<GreeningGalaxy>
Idk, I guess I'm just used to slow computers. Mine seems to take a reasonable time to do updates.
<GreeningGalaxy>
I mean sure, it's pretty plodding when it comes to storage I/O, but as I said, I don't need much out of it.
<UmbralRaptor>
apt-get updates can safely be slow most of the time.
<GreeningGalaxy>
unless you're whitequark and your machine has an NVMe SSD.
<GreeningGalaxy>
in which case instead of safely being slow, they can dangerously be fast :D
