@NathanMerrill Thanks :)

@StewieGriffin It's been cracked already, so it doesn't really matter

it does matter for the robber

(that's a tough situation to be in, whether to invalidate the robber or not)

Здравствуйте

I think I'll just leave a comment and let it pass... What's done is done I guess...

@ГригорийПерельман obviously somebody found that offensive, probably best not to post things that could be perceived in a bad way

The internet is full of delicate snowflakes.

yes

but hey @DanielSank, what brings oyu here? flags?

@Riker Yessir.

I noticed the offending user's name was Russian.

That piqued my interest.

Explanation for my BF code: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/35934874#35934874

Then I noticed it's the code golf room and thought I'd stay a while and make some friends.

There was a bit of name changing today

@DanielSank Welcome!

I want to join in the name changes

@LliwTelracs ?

@DJMcMayhem Thanks.

I mostly hang out in physics.

Pavel and CheckOutTomato changed their usernames

< Also

and BusinessCat

I changed my username and image

should be showing up any minute now

@Riker ಠ_ಠ

If I can't post things from xkcd, what can I post?

I don't think it was offensive, but someone flagged it.

How does one pass input to 05AB1E from the command line?

@DanielSank hallo

@ChristopherPeart Hallo.

@DanielSank How is life?

Can we please use username from Latin alphabet

@Downgoat No, that makes pinging too easy.

@ChristopherPeart It is good. I am working on a pcb, which is fun.

How is your life?

@Downgoat You mean like Upsheep?

@Downgoat Sumerian alphabet best alphabet

@DanielSank Ohh PCB what for? and good.

@TuxCopter Cyrillic alphabet = best.

@ChristopherPeart How much detail you want? ;-)

@DanielSank No. Cyrillic is too mainstream.

Sumerian? Cyrillic? Just use wingdings.

@LliwTelracs That's a font, not an alphabet

@TuxCopter Мне нравится Русские слова.

@DanielSank As much as you care for. I just made my first PCB this year (variable voltage reg) actually it is sitting right in front of me can't take picture as i have no webcame on this computer

Hmmm, my Russian has gone to crap.

@DanielSank I understand Cyrillic but I don't speak Russian

@TuxCopter You can read it but don't know the meaning?

Yup

Idk even how

Like how do you learn one but not the other?

I know the pronunciation of a lot of alphabets, but I only know French and English

@ChristopherPeart Ah ok, so you know stuff. The board takes a ~5GHz signal and poops out two ~200MHz signals which contain the amplitude/phase information of the original 5GHz signal.

In jargon, it's an IQ demodulator.

@DanielSank That is really cool actually

@ChristopherPeart Yeah, it's pretty awesome. It has a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier on the MHz lines because it drives an ADC and you have to hit the right amplitude range.

The fun part: This is the first pcb I've ever designed o_O

You using eagle?

@ChristopherPeart Altium, although next time I'm interested to try KiCad.

@ChristopherPeart Learning a writing system is wayyyy easier than learning a language

@TuxCopter Objection.

And to learn a language you need to know its writing system

I cite Chinese as a counterexample.

@TuxCopter False!

In my EIII class final project is a nice audio amp in a small speaker box. We are planning on making it Bluetooth

Children learn languages without learning writing systems all the time!

@DanielSank Well, Chinese (and ideographic anguages in general) are exceptions, because the writing system is the language

@DanielSank Oh wow. You have a link of schematic or a screenshot?

@TuxCopter wat?

Tell that to Chinese three year olds.

@ChristopherPeart You wanna see the schematic or the layout?

Does anyone know how to give 05AB1E input?

I mean the Chinese alphabet is closely tied to the language

Hmm layout more funz

@ChristopherPeart k hang on.

Did the ratsnest give you a heart attack at first?

@TuxCopter what do you mean

@ChristopherPeart Nah it's all good.

@ASCII-only I mean a Chinese character = a Chinese root/word

@ChristopherPeart ^

That's as much as I could get in a screenshot.

Dang that is big

Bottom left: power. Above that is the digital interface with a USB --> UART --> microcontroller.

@DanielSank The ratsnest scared me at first. I had the whole thing ready and then I noticed that i had the wrong chip in and i had to redo the entire layout

Top right is the RF input.

@WheatWizard It takes from stdin if nothing else has been on the stack, or something like that.

@TuxCopter but how is it any more closely tied than any other language

Below that is the demodulated IF stuff with the variable gain amplifier.

@ChristopherPeart Ugh.

@Riley Ok thanks

@DanielSank Yeah it was not a big PCB

You using a Opamp?

@ASCII-only The Latin alphabet can be used to write a lot of languages, as it is alphabetic. Hebrew or Arabic less, because it needs a consonant before a vowel, and the Chinese alphabet is specifically designed for Chinese, so it's harder to transcribe a language with it.

Why are we talking about hardware now?

@WheatWizard There are also a few commands that put input on the stack. Search for "input" in Info.txt

@TuxCopter so basically you're saying Chinese writing is not phonetic?

Why isn't my profile in chat updating yet ;_;

@ASCII-only Not really. I'm saying using Chinese to transcribe something other than Chinese is not praticable.

@DestructibleWatermelon Go to you chat profile and change main user then swap it back

Fixed it for me

@ChristopherPeart You don't even need to change it away. You can change it to the exact same as it was

hooray

@DanielSank why did you leave me?

wait it doesn't show in chat yet ;_;

@DestructibleLemon why just why?

wait there we go

@ChristopherPeart because anagrams

granted it isn't an anagram of my previous name, but its based on an anagram

It hertz to look at frequently

@ChristopherPeart Ack sorry.

@ChristopherPeart No op amps here.

@DanielSank Really? Wow what amp?

@ChristopherPeart There are two different amp chips in this project.

@DanielSank What are they?

RF amplifier: PMA3-83LN+

Variable gain IF amplifier: ADL5205.

Surface mounts are tough

@ChristopherPeart Howzat?

@DanielSank I am a person who likes the drill holes for everything and I personally believe that they stay in better

@ChristopherPeart :-|

Have you been traumatized by soldering n00bz who do crappy work?

My hobby: Finding challenges which have scores that don't factor in whitespace characters and the answering in Whitespace

@LegionMammal978 :P

Idea for a challenge: can the word be made in a nethack inventory

that is: does the word consist of two parts ordered by position in alphabet

We should all run our profile pics through the downgoatifier

@DanielSank no just like the other way

@ChristopherPeart Ok whatever. Word to the wise though: if you work with high frequencies, you're gunna want surface mount.

@ГригорийПерельман I didn't flag it, in fact I declined the flag (mod powers = insta decline)

@DanielSank ok

I deleted the message manually because I didn't want it getting reflagged. maybe not the best choice, but it worked

@LegionMammal978 what have you done with @Downgoat

> ಠ_ಠ

Doing that now.

you've made him into a downsquare

@LegionMammal978 Thank you

@LegionMammal978 hahahaha though

Actually looks nice

@LegionMammal978 you should modify your whitespace answer to add towards the goal of a brainflak answer

Yeah. You may want to play with the threshold a bit.

mine is too detailed

doesn't work right

DownTaco is fine.

Did it work

Nope

darn

it did yes

refresh

yass

Is there anyway to see when an edit occurred down to the second? My post and @LegionMammal978 's are very close on this answer chaining question

I guess I can go back to my old avatar now

Down Taco

@ATaco do it, it will be worth

@WheatWizard do you mean your second revision? when it was still deleted?

I meant when I undeleted it

> <span title="2017-03-09 22:40:40Z" class="relativetime">17 mins ago</span>

it was literally 1 second before when you edited it

@Riker That's actually really good IMO, it's the scarf that throws everything off.

> <span title="2017-03-09 22:40:43Z" class="relativetime">17 mins ago</span>

but when you undeleted, it was 2 seconds after

did it work?

Yes!

Am I down yet?

@Downgoat do you approve?
