[00:04:33] Ground equipment issue. [00:14:15] is it just me or does Ariane shoot off the pad far faster than a Falcon 9 or Heavy? [00:15:12] wow it pulls 2g off the pad [00:16:15] 2g is alright... shuttle did around 3g on average... Apollo did slightly more [00:30:25] thats on the pad I mean [00:30:29] Apollo did only about 1.15 on the pad [00:31:10] I need the procedural SRB mod [00:31:14] so I can make huge SRB boosters [00:45:34] try the indian launcher for crazy acceleration [00:45:46] I mean, vega, but that's tiny [00:46:53] Minotaur and Taurus, also. [00:49:14] the indian launcher is big & still goes off like a firework tho :) [02:07:28] VanDisaster: Is it more efficient by having lower gravity losses? [02:07:42] Or is that cancelled by higher drag?

That would explain the pause. [09:39:35] also how good does KSP run on a Ryzen 2700?

I really haven't been keeping up, just got a bug to build a new mod install recently [13:36:16] in what timeframe? [13:36:38] 4 months? [13:36:51] however long it takes me to get fed up again :P [13:37:51] in two weeks obv [13:37:54] I'm still running a 1.1 game with all it's horrors just because I didn't want to try replicating all the mod installs from it [13:38:19] actually I think I still have a 0.95 game I wanted to do stuff in [13:38:47] first version i had was 1.0.5 [13:40:04] 0.18, iirc [13:40:11] that's also still installed somewhere [13:40:25] i follow the pronounciation specified in the headers of the first GIF upon setting the standard [13:40:36] its not like this was unsettled until millenials came around... [13:40:53] i forgot if it's guh-if or jif [13:41:02] "jiff, like peanut butter" [13:41:10] is in the headers of the first gif [13:41:35] literally everyone i've ever worked with has pronounced it the other way :P [13:41:51] so did obama. that's fine, we are speaking english. its fine if understood. [13:42:00] but it's more wrong to call jiff wrong than it is the other way around :P [13:44:16] i didn't even know calling it "jiff" was an option until like 3 years ago [13:44:56] I've known since I first started in the IT world, I just didn't care & forgot :) [13:47:21] ah [13:47:25] the easy way is to think of "gin" [13:48:34] you should write to the city of Gifhorn to change their pronunciation [13:55:55] VanDisaster: i don't think "X is spelled like Y, so it should be pronounced the same way" is a particularly strong argument in the english language [13:56:56] no, but there's a rule of thumb that g before i is not a hard g [13:57:20] like the "g" in "give"? [13:57:40] it's english, it's full of holes :) [13:58:12] that's what i'm trying to say. for every rule you want to come up with, there are more exceptions than words that follow the rule [13:58:35] it just doesn't work that way... [14:01:30] besides i can't take this whole discussion serious anyway, i'd very strongly argue that "give" is closer to "gif" than "gin" to "gif" [14:01:55] http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/askaboutenglish/2009/06/090825_aae_g.shtml interesting couple of details about it [14:03:05] and if you look at the pronunciation of "g" across various european languages, you find at least 8 different ways to pronounce it [14:10:15] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:39:48] interesting side bit about the "if it comes from german, pronounce it with a hard g", in german, while the "hard g" is the most prevalent, there are some regional dialects where the "g" is pronounced more like the "ye" in "yesterday" [which, coincidentally, is a cognate to german "gestern"] [14:43:19] g is pronounced as the g in gestapo [14:43:36] any other reading is objectively wrong, also english is the worst :p [14:44:17] my german teacher was irish [14:44:20] now imagine my german accent [14:44:31] my german teacher was from sweden [14:44:40] i still only know like 5 words of german :v [14:44:41] my german teacher was from berlin [14:45:20] i don't know which of these is worse :p [14:46:15] hehe irish german teacher :) [14:46:26] the person from berlin probably taught much better conversationally useful german :p [14:46:53] well, it's different if you learn german as a native language, but that is besides the point :p [14:47:02] yeah that too I guess [14:47:31] I forgot more about my native language classes than I ever knew german probably :p [14:48:22] i tend to forget only the useful stuff, i know lots of silly details [14:48:32] same [14:49:02] i still have all the stupid freelancer points of interest memorized in my head, i haven't played the game in over 10 years ama :P [14:49:15] like when we learned the english word "dunno", which immediately became the favourite word of half the class :p [14:49:56] hehe [14:50:06] dunno is a great word [14:50:25] but that was like 5 years into learning english [14:52:27] i had 8 years of english in school, but still couldn't really follow a conversation, until i joined the internet and had an actual place to use it [14:52:41] I learned a bunch of english by playing a lot of monkey island and figuring things out [14:52:44] it was the best [14:53:00] my monkey island was in german, so that didn't work :p [14:53:12] rip [14:53:16] 11 years of french, could speak it like a native, and now I can't remember any because I never get to use it :( [14:53:39] watch french films/read books imo [14:53:44] tons of really good french content [14:54:08] in monkey island 2 there was an easter egg, where you could "phone support" in the jungle, and the german translator put a line in there about how most of the english jokes are untranslatable [14:54:17] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZNNDA2WUSU [14:54:17] YouTube - Amazing Experiment Actually Makes Black Fire!

[16:14:00] hehe [16:14:15] they cant help it,they are americans [16:14:47] although i am starting to adapt that way, because some programs dont know about that u :) [16:16:25] i think my first clash with that was between "grey" and "gray" [16:16:33] i hate that [16:16:43] once i found out about that i cant remember which one to use [16:17:08] whichever one i used, all the programming languages ever used the other one [16:18:48] mind you that i learned prorgamming before i learned english [16:20:59] 0xBBBBBB [16:22:04] colours weren't really expressed as RGB back then [16:22:49] or colors [16:23:09] you had light grey (which is a dark colour) with the number 7 and dark grey (which is a light colour) with the number 8 [16:23:37] meaningless anyway, since any rgb only represents a fraction of the visible spectrum [16:23:55] all that progress in technology, why not make that tiny triangle bigger? [16:24:36] if you work in printing, there's some crazy colour spaces out there [16:24:46] they are not much bigger [16:24:50] just different [16:25:07] it all depends on how pure of a primary colour you can manufacture [16:25:24] it depends what colors you can make [16:25:46] and it seems some decades ago they could only do a tiny part, and we are stuck since then [16:25:57] but the real problem is, if you want to have a bigger colour space, you need to add more primary colours [16:26:16] that is one, but the biggest is, the 3 colors are too close [16:26:18] have to move them [16:26:25] also need more [16:26:37] bit with 4 it would be more or less ok [16:26:45] if they were in the right positions [16:27:44] I guess the demand is too little. [16:27:44] but even if you solved that, then you get into the "proliferating standards" problem [16:27:57] xkcd style? [16:28:18] yes, that [16:28:46] anyway, to really map the whole visible colour space, you need an infinite amount of primary colours [16:29:04] everything else is an approximation [16:30:12] and then you still haven't solved the problem with environment/lighting [16:30:36] i know that. but why not make the approximation better? [16:30:54] with leds now they can change the light they emit [16:31:02] also possible with lasers [16:31:07] make soem new technology [16:31:08] impress me [16:31:12] no, nothing is happening [16:31:18] same old boring colors [16:40:12] but why would you build, say, a screen with 4 primary colour, when all data you will ever get will be in RGB? [16:40:49] no, lot of cgi today [16:41:04] also obviously camera technology would need to follow [16:42:45] they developed 3D camera technology which nobody ever uses. except for Avatar, every 3D movie ever was either animated or up-rendered 2D [16:43:47] Cameras could be improvised with filter wheels. [16:43:54] Like astro cams. [16:44:19] inverse projectors :) [16:44:58] Cameras... old tech, need something new... or so the attitude seem to go with a lot of things these days [16:45:40] darsie: not sure what that would solve... [16:46:09] Eddi|zuHause: Example pics so ppl could see what they're missing. [16:46:24] And if it's worth the expense. [16:46:53] I guess it'll remain a niche product. [16:47:11] Like audiophile stuff. [16:48:21] that's the point, the current way is "good enough" in the sense that there is no big leap forward possible that will make "everyone" want to have the new stuff (like when TVs switched from black and white to colour) [16:48:23] Now adding smell, taste, tactile would be a huge difference. [16:49:03] I think HDR will be a big thing before we switch to something else beside RGB [16:49:50] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range ? [16:50:02] yeah [16:50:40] I wish I had a higher DR range webcam. Sucks to have one side of the face over and the other side underexposed. [16:51:11] it involves less rewriting of all the graphics code compared to swithcing to a totally new colour space [16:51:13] Window is to my right. [16:51:56] now imagine if you also had a dark skin tone :p [16:52:33] ever tried photographing a black cat? [16:52:52] Action: darsie thinks about face tracking webcams that won't track black ppl. [16:53:06] if you move the triangle vertices symmetrically and keep the triangle, you dont need new code, colors just become richer [16:53:17] but they didnt even do that [16:55:52] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6rJpDPxYGU [16:55:52] YouTube - How A Gold Bullet Almost Destroyed A Space Shuttle [16:56:04] that is old scott manley [16:56:16] Great video that really shows how scary rockets are [16:56:24] Aug 2018?

Will it be playable? [17:35:09] And thanks for the answer [17:38:34] 40 fps is enough I suppose [17:38:48] the tdp would tell more [17:39:05] but from a laptop i would not expect a stellar performance [17:39:13] me too [17:39:25] bwoop [17:39:27] Empire Minecraft Livestream!
