egg changed the topic of #principia to: Logs: https://esper.irclog.whitequark.org/principia | <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly…
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ⟪Kirk (He/Him)⟫ I'm in #principia in the hopes egg can […] ⮪ I tend not to transliterate in any direction, but I am not sure I am an eggsample
<queqiao->
⟨QeDelphyn (Xšayāršā/-ām/-āyā)⟩ Just transliterate all names, no matter […] ⮪ "erkaka enerigija" is what it should obviously be.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ avoiding transliteration sure helps in avoiding the annoying diversity of conventions
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ > The surname Chebyshev has been transliterated in several different ways, like Tchebichef, Tchebychev, Tchebycheff, Tschebyschev, Tschebyschef, Tschebyscheff, Čebyčev, Čebyšev, Chebysheff, Chebychov, Chebyshov
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ that is missing a bunch
<queqiao->
⟨QeDelphyn (Xšayāršā/-ām/-āyā)⟩ that's almost as bad as Shakespeare
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ including Trê-bư-sép, Cebisceff, etc.
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ those are all weird ways of spelling Trebuchet
<raptop>
Consistency: there is a B
<queqiao->
⟨Vlood⟩ ⟪QeDelphyn (Xšayāršā/-ām/-āyā)⟫ that's almost as bad as Shakespeare ⮪ i think you mean Shakspere
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ similarly instead of having to pick between Ḫammurabi and Ḫammurapi, just write 𒁹𒄩𒄠𒈬𒊏𒁉
<queqiao->
⟨Vlood⟩ is this where i blame english for not being phonetically consistent?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ grmph. I guess we could just slap word joiners around the figure spaces 🙃
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ fwiw my main use case is starting a new flight plan by entering a negative number (I'm going to the moon, I know the capture is going to be -900). So maybe just not having a sign when the value is zero is all it takes
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ * displaying
<queqiao->
⟨lpg⟩ or you could just tell me to get used to my spacebar not making things hot
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ good point. making a double-click grab the sign should be easy enough, but then it makes changing a negative value to another one more annoying, which seems like cooling one spacebar to warm another
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ > should be easy enoughhm, might be trickier than I thought, and I do not feel like reading #29. Anyway, considering the issue of changing negative values, unsigned 0 may be the best way to address that.
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ ⟪Kirk (He/Him)⟫ The way I see it, I have three options […] ⮪ This is a complex topic, but for the sake of simplicity I would advise number 1. In USSR and sometime after companies' and brand names were transliterated, but nowadays they're mostly in Latin, though it's still fine to transliterate.
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ Russian named companies always stay in Cyrillic though. So no Energia in Russian text.
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ Also note, that brand names in Cyrillic should be written in quotation marks.
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ So it's
<queqiao->
Bell и «Энергия».
<queqiao->
«Белл» и «Энергия».
<queqiao->
or
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ Also note that brand names in Cyrillic should be written in quotation marks.
<paculino>
Quotation marks, or guillemets?
<queqiao->
⟨Farrier⟩ They all are quotation marks, but these «» are called 'pines' (or spruces?)
