[00:01:12] Action: Scolar_Visari is sincerely surprised no one did a TES civilization pack for Stellaris before. [00:01:54] Hrm . . . But should I do Lord of the Rings next? Perhaps Sengoku Jidai? I mean, the mon of virtually every clan exists on the internet and it's trivial to convert them. [00:05:33] Scolar_Visari: maybe the sportsball teams? [00:08:01] or maybe a special civilization just for Emperor Norton of the US? [00:11:37] Or a flag pack for the different territories of the Sacrum Imperium Romanum ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire#/media/File:Mitteleuropa_zur_Zeit_der_Staufer.svg [00:25:34] But it's neither Holy or Roman! [00:26:33] A Sengoku Jidai total conversion . . . I could make that work. One could even have the Shogunate operate as a Fallen Empire! [00:28:56] Hello [00:29:17] Hello Apex [00:29:42] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if there should be an Emperor in a Kyoto System with a mostly ruined ringworld. [00:29:54] Hey is there a Resource Kit or something for modding on KSP? [00:31:39] Bye [00:31:41] Huh, Stellaris doesn't have a mon pack, either. [00:31:54] Action: Scolar_Visari now knows what the next three mods will be. [00:32:05] Oh wait, here it is. [00:37:35] Teehee, Ashikaga Space Shogunate. [00:47:18] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to rule as Space Daimyo, conquer Space Japan and become Space Shogun. [00:50:24] Samurai are a daimyo a dozen. [00:56:30] Action: darsie made a successful reentry from a pretty exposed seat and jetpack splashdown: http://www.bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot55.png http://www.bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot57.png [00:56:49] Rescue from Mun orbit. [00:58:33] Mission cost: 3435 VF. [01:05:55] That's the complete rocket: http://www.bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot58.png [01:12:33] Guys, tell me I'm cool ;). [01:12:58] darsie: "I'm cool" [01:13:02] thx :) [01:13:20] Seriously though, it's a fine accomplishement. You should be proud [01:13:27] yeah :) [01:15:08] Took a while till I settled with this approach. [01:15:36] Actually I didn't think it would work that way and I'd have to send another rocket up. [01:20:50] Supernovy: check PM my dude [01:21:21] I did. [01:50:40] Man, I don't like job applications that have a big huge application form that takes 30 minutes to fill out. [01:51:05] I can write five cover letters in the same amount of time. [01:51:42] Also, this job application says that "no personal references will be accepted", and the electronic form requires me to enter at least one personal reference. [02:01:47] typical... like haveing 20 years experiance in HTML5 and Jquery [02:07:45] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ClqQfdJWQAAOblD.jpg [02:11:50] man so my game just crashed all of a sudden after hours of play and now it just refuses to launch and crashes as soon as i hit play [02:14:09] is an instance of it still running maybe? [02:14:51] no i restarted my computer and everything but now for some reason ksp 64 bit is crashing on start up. 32 bit launches but doesn't like my mods [02:15:53] although its probably just my messed up computer its been gradually dieing for the past few months [02:19:51] alright and now it's magically working again without me doing anything wtf [02:20:19] well whatever back to galileo [02:29:15] nvm now im getting a mono.dll access violation [03:33:45] Anyone here have experience with the Ground Construction mod? [03:59:13] Also, kOS Prop Monitor looks awesome but it looks abandoned. [04:02:05] :( [04:02:50] My best lucky find of little unknown awesome mod so far: https://github.com/Gerry1135/MemGraph [04:03:19] It didn't solve my issue around garbage collection, but it's a nice workaround [04:04:20] What's your GC issue? [04:04:36] solwdown every 5sec [04:04:52] Strange pattern [04:05:02] The game is basically 5sec of gametime, 1 sec of pause [04:05:39] I thought Unity's GC was once per second? [04:06:05] With that mod, I can make the Heap 5times as big and the slowdown only happens every 20-25sec [04:06:33] Nice. Are you running on a low-RAM system? [04:06:41] 32Gig [04:06:52] Are you running the 64-bit version? [04:06:57] yes [04:07:02] Mathuin, it's a GC limitation, not a RAM limitation [04:07:04] it's the Heap that the issue [04:07:43] Whenever Unity hits the internal threshold it runs its stop-the-world garbage collector; retuning it to use more RAM works around it [04:10:17] https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/907904720681474171/A460EF38C0662D56502F03315FF615EE94A78C54/ [04:10:30] see that graph? that's the mod. [04:10:49] Those red bars are when the game pauses for a sec [04:11:26] That's terrifying. [04:12:21] I'm gonna order a better CPU after xmas... but I'm stuck with my crappy one for now... [04:12:36] it's annoying because the game works fine aside from that issue [04:16:52] Our video cards are just one rev too low for Vulkan. [04:22:49] Why are exoplanets measured in jupiter masses and not earth masses? [04:23:01] To save orders of magnitude? [04:23:33] I guess because we mostly detect huge planets? [04:23:40] for historical reasons? [04:23:51] Why aren't they measured in kg? [04:25:07] Probably because 10^## kg isn't particularly relatable? [04:25:27] Not that anyone *really* comprehends the mass of Jupiter [04:31:12] Jupiter is 318 earth masses [04:31:15] simple [04:31:34] Or about a quarter of your mom [04:31:35] the answer is because astronomers are terrible [04:32:11] The answer is because they found Jupiter-like planets first... and the convention stuck [04:32:12] "Standardised units? No thank you!" [04:32:33] Even the same unit isn't standardised with itself in astronomy. [04:33:22] units are universal where it matter [04:33:48] but if a unit could be 'fuzzy', it will be [04:40:19] meeeeeh, trying to see what sort of OS I can install on here.... [04:41:46] I recently installed Arch on my Chromebook. The only thing I'm really missing is Atom. [04:42:54] Draconiator|Netbook: SyllableOS? HaikuOS? eComStation? ReactOS? ChromeOS? [04:45:27] Blaank: depending on the source, some are. But there are good reasons, especially given historically how hard it was to detect low mass planets to use Jupiter as the reference. [04:45:56] gah, others already said that. [04:52:05] yeah right now I hardly ever use this thing. let me get you some specs here. [04:53:50] Anyway, IAU constants: http://asa.usno.navy.mil/static/files/2014/Astronomical_Constants_2014.pdf [04:55:24] Is there a final verdict on the EM Drive? [04:56:41] I think NASA said that it works, but they don't know how. [04:57:18] It works or that it produces thrust? [04:57:31] Thrust can come from other stuff unrelated to it functioning. [04:57:45] the latter I think [05:00:34] https://gyazo.com/72aab52a68c3426428f2b7ff6e4a7b01 - There's what this thinglooks like. [05:01:38] ouch [05:02:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:36:22] https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/12/video-astronaut-scott-kelly-teaches-orbital-mechanics-with-kerbal-space-program/ [06:38:56] whoa [06:39:02] captioned version. thanks for finding [06:45:09] Althego: what a fanastic video [07:40:47] the last man who walked on moon died this year [07:41:51] and creator of pacman [07:46:30] and the earth is flat [07:46:42] okay. [07:48:19] earth is flat. in an small epsilon radius of a point :) [07:48:36] Althego: yep [07:51:47] you mean that the second and higher derivates are all zero? [07:56:30] it is smooth enough that in small intervals it can be sufficiently replaced by a flat surface :) [08:01:57] I think curvature is independent of path length, I believe it's just based on radius. [08:04:50] Curvature is dependent on path length. [08:05:46] Cut a circle with a chord. The maximum distance between the circle and the chord line is larger when the chord line is longer. [08:20:05] it's not just 1/r? [08:21:26] Nope. [08:23:34] I'm like, 90% sure it's just 1/r. [08:26:17] crd theta is 2 * sin(theta/2) [08:26:47] where crd theta is the ratio between the radius and the length of the chord line given an angle of theta [08:27:35] I'm like, 80% sure it's just 1/r. [08:27:43] hehe [08:27:46] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(geometry) has a nice picture [08:28:08] it is decreasing. like in groundhog day the probability of leaving [08:29:23] Huh. kOS variables don't appear to be typed, except booleans, kinda. There's unicode<->char translations but no casting from char to int or vice versa. [08:29:59] :3 [08:30:14] Reminds me of Perl a little. [08:30:46] No wait, there's String:TOSCALAR which is string-to-number [08:32:44] Only vectors of length three are allowed, which makes sense. [08:33:23] And I'm ignoring quaternions here. :-) [09:28:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:56:15] Last message repeated 4 time(s).

[15:02:21] Merry Yule! [15:07:11] I didn't even go to Minmus orbit. Just flyby and let the stranded catch up. [15:07:26] A arranged for a good encounter, though. [15:22:09] https://www.flightradar24.com/R3DN053/abcde1 [15:22:19] althought the official norad santa tracker shows a different position [15:25:46] "Registration: HOHOHO" [15:25:47] Nice :D [15:26:26] looks like flightradar got pretty much commercialized [15:26:56] i want a worm robot too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-2mBaxdjrc [15:26:57] YouTube - A Worm-like Robot Built from Compliant Modular Mesh [15:37:09] you can have worms [15:37:48] just drink some moldy water [15:39:28] that is not so cool [15:40:40] robots based on animals get us closer to understandingthe movement of those nimals, they also move in an insteresting way, and help to advance efficient robotic movement research [15:44:30] tracked and wheeled vehicles are the best [15:44:43] biology is inferior when it comes to movement [15:44:47] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIC_AG600 that's a freaking huge plane [15:44:48] haha no [15:44:53] reminds me of the Russian designs [15:45:02] wheels only get you anywhere if you have roads [15:45:17] technically wheels are very efficient, but only on hard surfaces [15:45:34] also they cant climb higher than their radius [15:45:41] if you need to go where no roads are, you need something that can walk. [15:45:47] so for surfaces worse than that, you need legs [15:45:49] And walking is very efficient, too [15:46:03] flying is better [15:46:10] and ground effect is the best thing [15:46:18] living things can still run more efficiently than i robots. energy storage in tendons [15:46:35] *our robots [15:46:59] it's funny how the english Wikipedia article seems to be heavily edited from China :D [15:47:01] Living things are also more delicious then our robots [15:47:07] guess it's possible to make a plane that uses either ground effect or dynamic soaring [15:47:20] or some kill you faster than the robots if you eat them ?) [15:47:36] any plane can use ground effect [15:48:09] yeah but do both to fly for a very long time with no power [15:48:16] like birds [15:48:29] we cant really do that [15:48:30] Fluburtur: ekranoplan? [15:48:47] or rather i know of a few robots that fly like birds [15:48:50] kinda like that [15:49:02] but the control is missing to do what seagulls or albatrosses can do [15:49:10] I guess it's hard to mix dynamic soaring and ground effect however [15:49:15] exept with sails I guess [15:49:57] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7gL9uA-McY [15:49:57] YouTube - DYNAMIC SOARING NEW WORLD RECORD: Bruce Tebo flies 505mph at Weldon with his Kinetic 130 [15:50:06] https://youtu.be/nv7-YM4wno8 [15:50:06] YouTube - BTD10: The 835kph Sailplane and Dynamic Soaring [15:50:12] lots of good info in that conference [15:51:18] Merry everything everyone [15:51:26] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt20uO4cFYs [15:51:26] YouTube - Star Wars Ultimate Medley - Sonya Belousova (dir: Tom Grey) [15:53:01] also my foam canadair is almost ready to fly [15:56:23] hey can someone help me with the mod bdarmory couse it woud not show me the nuclear bomb fx [15:56:29] ?????????????

[16:51:27] well that's a bit more expensive than my plane [16:51:42] could build 20for that price [16:52:02] Mathuin I could add another battery but it doesn't need that much flight time [16:52:03] Hah [16:52:38] More power means you can do stuff like add lights or a GoPro or something someday. [16:52:58] yeah I could [16:53:12] will probably put a flight cam on it but since it's a seaplane I don't want to risk the camera too much [17:01:41] ...so closing masses of tabs slows down firefox [17:02:44] "the internet was a mistake." -tim berners-miyazaki [17:06:21] "Use the force, Harry!" --Gandalf [17:06:42] "I am your mother" -- Darth Mamma [17:07:18] GlassYuri: at least Quantum is faster?

I consider docs to be a great low-hanging fruit PR opportunity -- if you use software but don't feel confident enough to send a code patch, you can often help improve documentation.

[20:14:34] the charm of that was, that he built everything and was slightly silly [20:15:02] I planned to do a video on how to build an easy rc plane [20:15:06] with a hot ire [20:15:08] wire* [20:18:11] the ultimate rain machine https://youtu.be/cHuoXD_VmBs [20:18:12] YouTube - CL-415 Canadair or Bombardier Water Bomber pick up and water drop [20:21:20] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:35:04] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:40:12] hello?? [20:40:41] hi [20:40:43] hi moist [20:40:47] eh the silly bot [20:42:02] anyone have a good starter station build? [20:42:44] I tend to build to match contracts. [20:43:08] well i mainly use sandbox [20:46:32] these young people [20:52:42] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:35:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:35:40] Merry Christmas, Gentlemen. [21:48:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:51:57] apparently the french water bombers used catalinas before the canadair [22:09:08] https://imgur.com/gallery/C4ZEhkJ real or fake? [22:09:30] looks like real [22:09:36] check out the video scott posted [22:09:47] keep your eyes on the road. [22:10:08] I don't see anything which would make it fake [22:28:36] I wouldn't be surprised... distracted driving is becoming a serious problem lately [22:29:03] people driving has been a problem since people invented driving. [22:29:06] its bad enough cars got so much already going on with the dash.. just hope you not playing ksp while driving [22:29:38] Just some jerk fiddling with one's phone or somesuch again. [22:29:42] eh well.. I'm not entirely sold on the 'ban non-automated driving' just yet [22:29:59] not entirely, but we will be pretty soon. [22:30:32] I'd like to see some automated helping... still will need driver's attention incase something goes wrong [22:30:33] it's just not sensible to try and have a slow moody meatsack doing the job of a proper AI [22:31:07] meh.. someone's going to be moody, even when programing the car so... [22:31:12] of course you need to manually override and drive at walking pace to get out of trouble once in a while (when the neighbourhood kids painted yellow lines all around your car so it won't move anywhere). [22:31:35] lets not forget the car hacking... [22:31:42] That somebody's code will not end up in the final product unless the whole dev/QA chain has the same disease. [22:32:26] meh anyways.. rather not get moody over this. Gotta go help room mate do some shopping. [22:32:43] lates.. [22:32:50] happy shopings [22:51:27] https://78.media.tumblr.com/42ab0c50a0a55d3266949f27ce3cd2a8/tumblr_n1a05tKXoE1s5jc1mo1_540.jpg [23:25:39] You were kill in ma swan!
