@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
22:03
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.
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
22:05
@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
and BusinessCat
22:14
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.
22:21
@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.
22:22
@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
22:23
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?
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
22:25
@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
22:26
@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
22:27
@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.
22:28
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
22:31
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.
22:31
@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?
22:33
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
@DanielSank why did you leave me?
22:34
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?
22:37
@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
22:42
@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.
22:52
@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
22:53
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
22:55
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
22:56
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?
22:58
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?
22:59
@Downgoat do you approve?
