00:36:04 <electrohead> fucking ouch.
00:42:24 <Ampera> >tiktok
00:42:26 <Ampera> instantly deleted
00:42:58 <Ysjoelfir> some people are just stupid :d
00:43:17 <Ampera> I am slowly becoming the last remaining person in the world who does /not/ use tiktok
00:43:56 <jaymax> Lies and you know that
00:44:27 * Ysjoelfir does not have ticking tock
00:44:50 * Ampera teleports jaymax to tiananmen square in china with a sign insulting the CCP glued to his hands
00:45:02 <jaymax> At least half of this channel is going to know better.
00:46:08 <Ampera> yeah but half of this channel is sock puppets made so that talking to yourself doesn't look as weird
00:46:14 <electrohead> lol
00:46:44 <Ampera> oh, and so that laughing at your own jokes doesn't look as sad
00:46:56 <electrohead> and heh, yeah I don't use tiktok whatsoever. the worse I do is watch videos on youtube, and watch the uploaded videos on reddit
01:03:16 <DHess_US> Literally walked to grocery this morning in 6+ inches of snow, while snowing, and windy. Grocery changed hours and will not open for 4 more hours. My breath froze on my glasses.
01:03:42 <Ysjoelfir> it sounds like you are in a beautiful climate
01:04:05 <DHess_US> They call it Missouri (misery) for a reason.
01:04:15 <DHess_US> cool continental climate
01:05:07 <DHess_US> I'll do it again in a couple hours when the store is open, but I will wear my overcoat as well.
01:06:32 <DHess_US> Had fun driving around last night between storms when the roads were only partially plowed.
01:44:17 <jaymacks> Slipn slide, winter style.
01:44:28 <jaymacks> Slip 'n slide, winter style.
01:45:34 <DHess_US> Yea, did some of that last night.
01:45:51 <DHess_US> The unplowed snow in many areas was compacted down to a white ice.

04:46:01 <TheDude> reee ಠ╭╮ಠ
04:46:21 <TheDude> I'm in quarantine because of a dipshit coworker
04:46:33 <Ysjoelfir> oi, DHess_US is adequately dressed
04:46:51 <Ysjoelfir> and yeah TheDude, thats shite, I can relate
04:47:06 * Ampera has never been in a quarantine
04:47:13 <Ampera> I'm not even sure how that works here
04:47:14 <TheDude> so
04:47:27 <Ampera> as far as I'm aware, they can't legally detain you if you have COVID, more just ask you to stay home and not spread it
04:47:39 <TheDude> the aforementioned coworker was working from home the entirety of last week
04:47:56 <TheDude> because his flatmate had covid
04:48:29 <TheDude> so the flatmate got better and on monday he showed up in the office
04:48:42 <TheDude> and he was quite irritable the whole day and left early
04:49:00 <TheDude> and on tuesday he called in that he's sick, that he can't come in
04:49:19 <TheDude> today he finally tested positive on a quick test
04:49:54 <TheDude> by current national covid mandates, he was not even supposed to be out of the house for this whole week
04:50:22 <Ampera> do you guys have legal penalties for spreading COVID?
04:50:24 <Ampera> intentionally at least
04:50:32 <TheDude> yeah, most likely
04:50:37 <TheDude> I'd have to check tbh
04:50:51 <TheDude> anyhow, I now have to quarantine until monday
04:50:57 <TheDude> ffs
04:51:01 <Ampera> cool
04:51:53 <TheDude> and on monday I was supposed to have vacation
04:52:14 <TheDude> because tuesday is a national holiday, so I'd effectively have a 4-day weekend
04:52:25 <TheDude> now that went to shit because of this cunt
05:03:20 <coppice> only the 7 day weekend is truly satisfying
05:31:49 <TheDude> I couldn't agree more
05:32:06 <TheDude> a 14-day weekend even more so
06:40:18 <electrohead> DHess_US: you almost look like someone I know
06:40:25 Join: Novak ([email protected]) to #eevblog
06:40:48 <rust_collector> it would be very funny, if you figured out that you do know him, lol
06:41:17 <electrohead> yeah it would, lol

08:26:40 <Nothing\> heyo!
08:26:50 <Nothing\> how's everyone today?
08:26:57 <rust_collector> not yet, wait a little bit
08:27:05 <Nothing\> lol
08:27:32 <Nothing\> i've been reading up on diff amps and long tailed pairs lately. I'm thinking I wanna try making one.
08:28:19 <Nothing\> though I'm like 99% certain you need matched transistors, I happen to have some ICs with 3 NPN and 2 PNP bjts in them and nothing else which i could use for just that purpose
08:28:41 <Nothing\> and hell, on that note i should make a current mirror, too
08:28:54 <Nothing\> i could make a damn op amp out of them
08:29:18 <Nothing\> i've seen op amp designs that use no more than 6 transistors
08:30:48 <Nothing\> i've also been boggling over this thing on my ecigarette that says it's powered by the "gene chip" which sounds like some sort of fancy ASIC. But damned if I could find any sort of datasheet on it or anything besides marketing wank from ecig companies.
08:31:20 <Nothing\> makes me think it's more likely they just took a standard controller, threw it in there and gave it a buzzword sounding name for, again, marketing wank
08:31:23 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\ huggily
08:31:34 * Nothing\ huggle snuggles T3sl4 <3
08:31:39 <Nothing\> hey buddy how you doing?
08:31:54 <Nothing\> lol jeez i almost typed butty. freudian slip much?
08:32:05 <Nothing\> i guess i must be secretly gay and don't know it
08:32:20 <Nothing\> which i've actually known gay/bi men who would use that exact logic
08:32:20 <T3sl4> oh that's interesting, someone made an unclickable thread: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=showposts;sa=topics;u=834077
08:32:25 <T3sl4> or the db is glitching :P
08:32:39 <T3sl4> Nothing\: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
08:32:55 <Nothing\> hrm i really need to use the forums more
08:32:58 <Nothing\> or at all
08:33:06 <Nothing\> i just realized i don't even have an account that i know of
08:33:25 <Nothing\> i feel like i may have signed up for one once but if i did i've looong since forgotten anything about it
08:34:28 <Nothing\> though i could take a few guesses at the email address and password. Maybe even a user name. But that's harder since Nothing isn't a terribly unique name and most places won't let me use the slash. Which personally I think is prejudiced against us slashies
08:34:59 <Nothing\> sorry, punctuationally challenge
08:35:04 <Nothing\> d
08:36:00 <Nothing\> oh yeah, i'm also trying to design a simple data bus architecture
08:36:52 <Nothing\> trying to wrap my head around how data transfers over a bus work. How tri-state logic is implemented to prevent any errors or any data from going where it shouldn't.
08:37:16 <Nothing\> just using Logisim
08:37:55 <Nothing\> actually i guess it's more than just the bus since i'm designing the actual memory registers that i'm attaching to it as well
08:40:32 <T3sl4> it's pretty slick once you have it all down. classic chips like 6502, Z80 etc pair almost effortlessly with SRAM, DRAM, EPROM, registers etc.
08:41:15 <Nothing\> oh yeah i've also been doing an egg spearmint where i'm putting an AA battery in the freezer and testing the voltage vs at room temperature. Which is a convenient delta temp of 40 degrees. But interestingly so far doing the experiment with the battery unloaded, I got an increased voltage of 0.0065v from the battery when it was colder. Which could be insignificant being so small compared to the ~1.6v it's at. But I'm cu
08:41:15 <Nothing\> gonna do when I put different sized loads on it.
08:42:17 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah i'd like to make a breadboard computer with either a 6502 or i have a WD65C02, which is a CMOS version and more recently produced.
08:42:32 <Nothing\> actually WDC is still producing them. Amazingly enough.
08:42:53 <T3sl4> yeah
08:43:01 <T3sl4> or the 65816 board you got, or whatever
08:43:22 <Nothing\> You've gotta wonder how on earth the make a profit considering how much a fab costs, even just operating costs nevermind the cost of building one, which they would have had to do to make the newer CMOS chips.
08:43:30 <DHess_US> electrohead, the only way you could know me is if you lived in the southern California area 20 years ago.
08:43:39 <Nothing\> and considering the chips are dollars a piece
08:43:52 <DHess_US> You can see a photo of me 20 years ago on the cover of 73 magazine.
08:44:01 <T3sl4> well, the IP is ancient, and fab is probably under $100k to get masks and production slot?
08:44:10 <DHess_US> One person recognized me once, in a Fry's Electronics.
08:44:40 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yup i'd still like to play with that guy more but i can't find very much documentation about the programming side of it. Though Ben Eater made some videos about programming them so I'll have to check those out. He wasn't using the same board but he used the same chipset as the board so it's basically the same set up.
08:44:50 <DHess_US> In that photo I'm geared up for walking a couple miles through a snowstorm. We are having a record snowstorm here in St. Louis.
08:44:58 <Nothing\> maybe not as many different types of output. Just focusing on one.
08:45:07 <Nothing\> *output ics
08:45:29 <T3sl4> barely snowing here atm, but we'll see
08:46:37 <Nothing\> T3sl4, hrm i'm actually not familiar with the idea of a production slot, though the term seems pretty self explanatory. But it's interesting because naive little me always thought if a company wanted to make a chip, their only option was to build their own fab, or purchase/repurpose an old fab
08:47:02 <T3sl4> nah, fabs have been CM for decades
08:47:09 <T3sl4> (contract manufacturing)
08:47:42 <Nothing\> i figured the fabs were so specialized for making just the one type of chip, or chips that the company was making from that and to change the chip would require a massive overhaul of the whole thing
08:47:48 <Nothing\> if it was even possible
08:47:58 <Nothing\> that was my idea of the process up until just now
08:48:15 <Nothing\> that makes a hell of a lot of sense
08:48:21 <T3sl4> the process is abstracted a bit differently
08:48:29 <T3sl4> you might not be able to take masks between different fabs, for instance
08:48:51 <T3sl4> but they provide the tools to create those masks, from a more basic design i.e. hardware description language
08:49:13 <Nothing\> cuz i'm sure there are still companies making new jellybean logic ICs. But damned if they could even hope to turn a profit if the only way to make those chips was to build an entire fab just to make a hand full of different jellybean logic chips that cost like a nickel each
08:49:20 <T3sl4> in turn they provide models for standard library hardware, or transistors and other building blocks if you're doing analog, so you can test and evaluate it before fab
08:50:08 <T3sl4> so, your IP might be some collection of code files that says what the hardware does, or a netlist of transistors, gates, etc. functions
08:50:09 <Nothing\> that's interesting
08:50:52 <T3sl4> it's not trivial to take those data to another fab, but the fab may provide assistance to do all that modeling and customization, and tell you what the performance is going to be (say if their logic gates have slightly different propagation delay, temp dependency etc)
08:50:54 <Nothing\> i really need to learn more about IC design and manufacturing. I have a vague idea of how it works but only the vaguest of things like photolithography.... I think is about the most technical bit i know about it
08:51:22 <Nothing\> and how EUV lithography allowed them to make smaller process nodes because it has a shorter wavelength, which apparently is damn near into the x-ray band.
08:51:39 <Nothing\> funny because i was thinking "what's the next step? x-ray lithography?"
08:52:29 <T3sl4> xray sucks because it tends to scatter in the surface and make a big exposed blob instead of a nice sharp side wall
08:52:37 <T3sl4> or is that e-beam because secondary emission, or both?
08:52:55 <Nothing\> T3sl4, that's cool that they kinda work together like that. Though I'm sure the fab doesn't provide that service out of the goodness of their hearts. They're probably compensated very well for it.
08:53:08 <Nothing\> oh yeah
08:53:16 <Nothing\> x-ray would cause secondary emission of neutrons i think
08:53:23 <T3sl4> well yeah, that's where your 5-6 digits of NRE goes
08:53:26 <Nothing\> unless yeah, it has to be charged
08:53:28 <Nothing\> i'm not sure
08:53:38 <Nothing\> you've got be curious now though
08:54:19 <T3sl4> xrays can cause beta emission, yes
08:54:52 <Nothing\> i wanna say electrons, because it just makes more sense from a particle physics standpoint I know if one particle "absorbs" another it can be transmuted into another type of particle. I really wish I could think of some specific examples.
08:55:35 <Nothing\> but something like where a neutron absorbs a particle and is transmuted into a proton
08:55:59 <Nothing\> which again, just using that as a hypothetical example. I can't think of any real life ones off the top of my head.
08:56:00 <T3sl4> this is just scattering, transfer of energy. xray kicks an electron out, or another one plops into its place and that energy in turn kicks out another (auger electron) etc
08:56:17 <T3sl4> or at high enough energy, positrons can be created, but that's into the gamma range mostly (1MeV+)
08:57:05 <Nothing\> ah okay
08:57:26 <Nothing\> like compton scattering
08:57:55 <T3sl4> them electrons straight outta compton
08:58:34 <Nothing\> lol
08:58:57 <Nothing\> yeah i can't help but think of that too every time i hear it
08:59:05 <Nothing\> even scott manley made a joke about it in one of his videos.
08:59:26 <Nothing\> oh hey
08:59:31 <Nothing\> speaking of the 6502
09:00:21 <Nothing\> i found this neat series on a channel about retro gaming that goes into the code of some popular NES games to examine and explain some mechanics from the game.
09:00:46 <Nothing\> i was on about it yesterday but nobody was here atm so you mighta seen something about it in my wall of text where i gushed about it
09:00:52 <T3sl4> yeah saw that
09:01:00 <Nothing\> i figured so, hehe
09:01:34 <Nothing\> that's actually one of the best ways i've found to learn about the 6502 and 6502 assembly. Just go through and learn about the code in NES games.
09:03:00 <Nothing\> i have this like 16,000 line disassembly of the code from Super Mario Bros with lots of really detailed comments. It's easily been the best such resource i have.
09:05:33 * Nothing\ plays Pac-Man 256
09:10:15 <jaymacks> Why not Ms Pac-Man 16777216?
09:17:58 <Nothing\> because i'm a product of the north american education system so too many numbers frightens me
09:18:30 <rust_collector> ooooh. new slackware
09:19:15 <Nothing\> why is it bad to call someone from japan a jap but it's okay to call a jewish person a jew
09:19:36 <rust_collector> the jews are not from jewan?
09:19:39 <Nothing\> likewise for nip, nip coming from the japanese word for Japan, Nippon.
09:20:49 <Nothing\> rust_collector, right but what does it matter whether your race is named for a place for for it faith. Though jews do almost seem like a race in and of themselves. Like there's more to it than them just being a religious group. It's much deeper, more inherent to who they are than that.
09:20:56 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
09:20:58 <Nothing\> at least with the ones who aren't converts
09:21:07 <jaymacks> > why is it bad to call someone from japan a jap but it's okay to call a jewish person a jew
09:21:07 <jaymacks> It's okay to call someone a jap? 🤔
09:21:13 <Nothing\> or maybe those are just Israeli traits
09:21:25 <Nothing\> or traits of certain groups with large jewish populatios
09:21:30 <Nothing\> populations
09:21:49 <Nothing\> jaymacks, lol that's not what i said
09:22:02 <Nothing\> i said it's bad to call someone a jap
09:22:08 <Nothing\> oh, or was that your response
09:22:14 <Nothing\> the question mark made it confusing
09:22:26 <Nothing\> like you were asking me why i was saying it's okay to call someone a jap
09:22:29 <rust_collector> and is it true? is that bad?
09:23:01 <rust_collector> I do not think I would be very annoyed, if someone called me nor
09:23:15 <Nothing\> well in general i think most japanese people would probably take offense to the term. And in a more general sense, I think you'd be liable to get labeled a racist if you used the term around most other groups of people.
09:23:21 <rust_collector> oh no, that would probably be a new gender
09:23:51 <rust_collector> yeah, well. we can get away with that, as we are juust old enough
09:24:04 <Nothing\> lol i dunno about that
09:24:10 <jaymacks> He he. It's generally not okay to call someone a Jew either, especially when its "the Jew" instead of "a Jew".
09:24:12 <Nothing\> age doesn't exempt you from having racist traits
09:24:50 <Nothing\> it's like when i was with my mom's ex who's in his 70's so, he lived through the 50s and all during that time.
09:25:13 <rust_collector> old people do not keep up to date with the new not racist and gender, and so on stuff, so they can be a little bit racist
09:25:16 <Nothing\> But we came up to this corner store and he just says out loud "holy shit there are a lotta spooks here!"
09:25:35 <jaymacks> But swapping for Jewish does not work universally, without contorting the language entirely.
09:25:49 <Nothing\> and i mean, he's not inherently a racist person. He has nothing against black people as far as I know. He'd gladly talk to and befriend a black person just as he would anyone else.
09:26:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that is a part of it and i think yeah we need to be more lenient towards people who are like that
09:26:34 <Nothing\> we shouldn't have to be learning new terms every decade to keep up with what's PC
09:26:44 <rust_collector> and we are juuuust old enough, to get away with it
09:27:00 <Nothing\> But at the same time, if the words began as being derogatory. I think it would be in humanity's best interests to at least make an effort to get rid of them
09:27:17 <jaymacks> PC? I use a Mac you insensitive clod!
09:27:33 <Nothing\> even if you don't go as for as expecting older people to know and keep up to date with all of the new terms that are PC from decade to decade
09:27:56 <Nothing\> they can at least discourage other people from using it and educate them about it
09:28:12 <Nothing\> maybe incorporate it into educational syllabii
09:28:36 <Nothing\> that way the new generations can at least be taught be less offensive terms of THEIR era
09:29:05 <Nothing\> rather than being taught the old, denigrating terms
09:29:21 <Nothing\> by people who were raised using them in their day
09:30:53 <Nothing\> But I can totally understand groups wanting to be called something specific because maybe a term was derogatory to begin, or maybe it becomes associated with another derogatory term or an undesirable group of people not in the Hitler sense but in the sense of a neonazi being undesirable to give an extreme example
09:31:03 <jaymacks> It tends to be why the terms change is because the existing ones get used in a derogatory way. What was an idiot must now be called retarded. Who used to be a POC gets labelled a piece-of-crap and a new term needs to happen again.
09:31:03 <rust_collector> Using the word "neger", I guess it translates to negro, was made illegal over here about a decade ago. And I am not really sure why. it was very handy
09:32:00 <Nothing\> it causes a lot of hurt and like i said, denigration and even dehumanization in extreme cases. Which as a white person of european decent, I could never understand these things fully like somebody who's been through them. But I can at least try.
09:32:15 <jaymacks> Well, idiot to retarded to learning deficient, yadda yaddda.
09:32:33 <Nothing\> rust_collector, well in a lot of languages they use similar words to neger for the color black
09:32:39 <Nothing\> some variation of it
09:32:47 <rust_collector> yes
09:33:21 <jaymacks> > some variation of it
09:33:22 <jaymacks> For Cantonese, it sounds like their word "that".
09:33:26 <rust_collector> to me, it just means black, or dark person. I do not really know what would be wrong with that
09:34:19 <rust_collector> but these days, they can probably identify as white, unless white is also a bad word now
09:34:43 <rust_collector> non-dark person
09:34:49 <jaymacks> I forget which old text - but it cites the origin of race - as Black, White, Yellow, and Red. Kinda like the AFN flag in Canada.
09:35:13 <rust_collector> afn?
09:35:30 <rust_collector> all for Nothing\
09:35:41 <rust_collector> uh, flag
09:35:41 <jaymacks> BTW, hey Nothing\ what up my Canuk Honkey? *honk *honk
09:35:51 <rust_collector> lol
09:35:59 <jaymacks> Assembly of First Nations.
09:36:07 <rust_collector> oh, ok
09:36:46 <Nothing\> "Islamic State leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi (pictured) dies in a US military raid in Atme, Syria."
09:36:49 <Nothing\> groovy
09:37:15 <Nothing\> though leader could mean anything
09:37:23 <Nothing\> did he lead the entire isil/isis whatever it's called
09:37:26 <Nothing\> or just a group?
09:37:41 <Nothing\> or was he considered a leader in the sense that MLK was a leader
09:37:58 <jaymacks> > Assembly of First Nations.
09:37:58 <jaymacks> Shit, got it wrong. Was thinking of this one though. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0417/4537/products/Treaty8flag4.jpg?v=1590619041

09:39:16 <T3sl4> nilered is his primary channel, nileblue is secondary
09:39:21 <T3sl4> nilegreen is...not
09:39:24 <rust_collector> green is better
09:39:49 <T3sl4> green is eggs and ham

19:38:06 <Halcyon> He'd be way cuter if he cut his hair
19:38:37 <Halcyon> He's well spoken. The British accent itself doesn't do it for me, but his diction (heh) is what does it for me
19:38:53 * Halcyon pokes T3sl4: Ehhh... did you see, I made a dick joke :P
19:41:47 <Ysjoelfir> you meant his dicktion?
19:41:52 <Ysjoelfir> also, ew, british accents :P
19:43:42 <Halcyon> :P
19:51:38 <Halcyon> Head massages and just massages in general are the best thing ever
19:51:38 <Ysjoelfir> definitely
19:51:38 <Halcyon> I look forward to my hair cut every two weeks just for that
19:51:38 <Halcyon> Laying back in the basin, having my hair washed followed by a massage. The best.

20:03:56 <Halcyon> Oh right
20:04:02 <Halcyon> That thing that Dave posted?
20:04:06 <K> ye
20:04:14 <Halcyon> It looks pretty. Wouldn't want to attempt repairing it though
20:04:37 <K> dunno, looks workable
20:04:42 <K> with microscope and stuff
20:06:21 <Halcyon> Look tedious
20:06:58 <K> dunno, some mindless work sometimes is very nice
20:07:34 <Halcyon> Mindless to me is something you can't fuck up... like rearranging shelves or re-organising containers
20:07:45 <Halcyon> That looks like something that you could screw up easily, then swear a lot
20:10:22 <K> dunno
20:10:44 <K> id be tempted to
20:10:59 <Ysjoelfir> I am watching mymechanics while I should be working. Meh. I just love the attention to detail that guy has
20:11:07 * Halcyon flips T3sl4 the birb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK9eYCTCwfs
20:11:34 <Halcyon> I'm having a wine and watching shit on Youtubes
20:11:43 <Halcyon> Probably should return to watching The Office though
20:12:34 <K> btw Halcyon, will be going to Golden Coast, not Brisbaine
20:12:43 <Halcyon> Gold Coast
20:12:44 <Halcyon> Nice
20:13:01 <Halcyon> It's quite bogan there but not a bad place to visit
20:13:18 <K> will be work though not pleasure
20:13:23 <Halcyon> Gold Coast is very close to the New South Wales (NSW) border, which is the state I am in
20:13:32 <K> ah.
20:13:33 <Halcyon> You have no free time at all?
20:13:39 <K> not sure yet
20:13:53 <Halcyon> Do let me know, because I'll fly up and stay the night or something
20:14:00 <Halcyon> What dates were you coming?
20:14:04 <K> it looks likee the week of March 7th
20:14:28 <Halcyon> Mmmmmmm could be tricky, but might be able to make it work with some planning
20:14:39 <K> no reason to stress
20:14:53 <K> if all goes well, chances are well be back some time later this year
20:14:57 <Halcyon> Oh I'm not stressing. I would just love the opportunity to buy you dinner and a drink while you're so close.
20:15:06 <Halcyon> Ah fair enough
20:16:30 <Ysjoelfir> oh, K is traveling again? Hope you get more luck with Halcyon than you had with me, who was so occupied that he just forgot pretty much everything....
20:16:47 <K> work travel, Ysjoelfir
20:17:02 <Ysjoelfir> woah, thats even better, free travel!
20:17:14 <K> eeh, i do not like travel for work, on the principle
20:17:24 <Halcyon> Make the most of it K
20:17:25 <K> like, i give work my 9 hours a day
20:17:31 <K> but not it takes all 24
20:17:49 <Halcyon> At least it will be still nice and warm for you in March
20:17:58 <K> but it is australia and kinda necessay for development, so i compromise
20:18:05 <K> yea
20:18:06 <K> fuck cold
20:18:13 <Halcyon> Exactly!
20:18:38 <K> it has become my morning routine to whine about snow to the gf
20:18:50 <Halcyon> Stupid snow
20:18:51 <K> "is it still out there?"
20:19:08 <K> "really? did you check?"
20:19:14 <Halcyon> I'm already noticing the days are becoming shorter. The mornings are so dark when I wake up. I hate it.
