"O mundo gira, a Lulsitana roda" It's 5 years since my last post of the subject, so it's about time to cry "I told y'a" again. :) Everybody should be aware of the Github Microsoft's Copilot by now. This thing is a I.A. engine that feeds on all Open Source's code (but who can say it doesn't...

3 months later, and still making victims. Congrats. :D

More or less… KSP is highly moddable (as much or even more then Orbiter sometimes), all the game's assets are provided openly - in a way not too different from Orbiter (the meshes uses a proprietary binary format thought). And that code is intimately and probably irremediably tied to Unity -...

Well, and another problem came to light. It's, indeed, possible to a end-user to loose the GPL granted rights. It's not easy, but there're legal grounds on some countries (Germany, if I was informed right). This potentially renders the end-user high and dry...

An interesting course about hypersonic flight I found by accident. From engines to aerodynamics. Course's homepage here. Youtube videos here.

I decided to break radio silence to share this (beautiful) video, A source of inspiration to vessel designers!

I need to keep it up on these things. Sorry. However, don't hurt doing what I should had did before to avoid a wrong buy. On the 4th Generation, there's a Desktop i5 model that have two cores, the i5-4570T ...

About this... It depends. i5 are two cores processors, with two hyperthreads per core. i7 are four cores, with two hyperthreads per core. I agree that, usually, two cores are enough - unless you do some heavy virtualizing.

Not sure if I'm helping, but... How about something like the Intel NUC?

I like the idea of the HUD being "projected" into the Helmet's glass - more or less as done on modern jet fighters or Cobra Attack Helicopters. :-)

Interesting... A least on my code, the new PAYATCH directive will always overwrite the previous one. But this is meaningless anyway, you can have only *ONE* payload on the module. Try stacking up invisible, weightless carriers on the place you want the payloads - each carrier would have one...

No for sure, I checked the code. There's a place for only one payload attachment, and if you add more than one PAYATCH line, the new one ovewrwrites the previous on the internal data structures. Perhaps you can attach multiple invisible carriers on the same location, each one with its own PAYATCH?

I completely understands the pointer issue, and I feels like an idiot while compiling my programs the same way. :-) From the ANSI C times, if two data types are equally sized in bits on the compiler definition (ex. char and bool were both 8 bits, and int, enums and pointers were both 16 bits on...

IMHO it should, but it doesn't. C++ is a weakly typed language, i.e., you can make assignments between some different types without being aware. It's somewhat better than ANSI C, however. (do not misunderstand with statically/dynamic typed languages: C++ is statically typed, once a variable is...

Did anyone remember "Salvage 1"? It would be interesting a scenario reproducing this serie's plot. source.
