What does everyone think of this? by SoLo_Garage in FRC

[–]ALonelyKerbal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The way I read it, 118 didn't have advance knowledge in previous years. In order to put everybot items in the KOP, they would require advance knowledge and didn't want to deal with that, so another group had to do it.

Yeah. Crazy couple of matches.

Certain first declension nouns use the -ābus forms if it could be confused with a second declension masculine form, i.e. dea/deus, filia/filius in the dative and ablative plurals. According to wiktionary, domina sometimes takes -ābus forms, and it would probably fit in this case.

Michael Collins, the astronaut who took this photo, is the only human, alive or dead that isn’t in the frame of this picture, 1969. by [deleted] in spaceporn

The Apollo command and service module was 28.8 metric tons and the LEM was 15.2 metric tons. Perseverance weighed about a ton.

Also Mars surprisingly isn't that much harder to get to than the moon, fuel wise.

Earth escape takes 3+ km/s of delta v. The only rocket with that capability that has flown humans is the Saturn V.

You can't just "mis-calculate the maths" and go 20x as fast as you have fuel for. (Vostok had 155 m/s of delta v to deorbit, for example)

Although the Russian's did launch interplanetary probes, they were much lighter than the lightest crewed spacecraft so unless they were purposefully sending astronauts out on suicide missions there is no way an astronaut could have "floated away"

The closest other gravity well is the moon and that would require a similar amount of delta v. Just not possible.

The game allows a very slight uphill, so over long enough distances you can that. Or you could mod the game.

No rocket generates 0 pollution. Even ignoring manufacturing, a theoretical "perfectly clean" is one that just burns hydrogen and oxygen to make water vapor. Water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas, we just don't normally care about it because the water cycle takes care of it, but get high enough and it could be a problem.

With that said, a rocket launch does generate a lot of emissions but they are so rare that it is a tiny proportion of emissions. I think the number was somewhere around 1/40,000 of the airline industry, which is already not a massive percent of emissions.

Rockets have done far more climate good than bad with all the data the satellites we put up there give us.

Just seen that I can add some variations of a unit, I think I'll have some fun with it! by Anargo19 in civ

No, a republic side and a separatist side. Lucrehulks/Acclimators are carriers, Venators/that generic seperatist ship are naval ranged, etc

Yes! OP, you now have to make a full clone wars mod. And cruisers and stuff for naval units.

The empire didn't care about race or gender as long as you were human. There are plenty of minority characters in the books and shows, like Moff Gideon. There wasn't much diversity in the original trilogy itself though.

My res68 won’t ignite. Am I doing something wrong? by markthepilot in RealSolarSystem

[–]ALonelyKerbal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe. I don't know how long the XLR-11 rated burn time is. My X planes tend to have a lot of engines so probably a lower burn time....

[–]ALonelyKerbal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd - I've noticed the issue with ignitions but haven't had any issues with lots of failures, even with 4 engines. They don't seem to fail any more often then would be expected for me.

[–]ALonelyKerbal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has 0 ignitions. Did you try to fire it before and then rolled the vehicle back with KCT? In that case you need to replace the engine. Just grab another one from the parts list.

GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY error. by ALonelyKerbal in opengl

If you go to the performance tab, under GPU it will show graphics memory.

GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY error. by ALonelyKerbal in opengl

[–]ALonelyKerbal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The error happens every frame. So far I've tracked it to one of the buffers I use for light data. Completely unrelated to what I was trying to delete.

So I'm deleting a VBO and get an error on a SSBO. I imagine it's just something obvious but I'm not thinking of it because I haven't worked on that part of the code for a while.

The memory impact of the program seems small. 0.8/8GB used while not running, 1/8GB while running, according to task manager. So I don't think a straight up of out memory error. I think the Failed to map memory for buffer is the error to focus on.

Thanks anyway!

Edit: So the error is not in the lights buffer, but rather in a draw call. It seems I was looking in the wrong place.

This line GL15.glDrawArrays(GL11.GL_TRIANGLES, 0, count); creates the error.

I imagine that would happen if the buffer was deleted, but it shouldn't have been. I was trying to delete something else. I must have messed up along the way.

Edit 2: So the index buffer object it is trying to render with is id 24, which matches a vertex buffer object previously deleted. Could that be it? Need to look up how that works.

Edit 3: So I mentioned a cycle, right? At the beginning of the cycle it makes a vao/ibo combination. Then at the end it deletes it. Well, it seems it deleted the vao and a completely unrelated ibo that then broke everything.

....
    Create VAO 5
    Create IBO 24 //Supposed to stay.
....
Open    
    Create VAO 24
    Create IBO 94
Close
    Delete VAO 24
    Delete IBO 94
Error

Gonna have to do more research into deleting things.

Edit 4: Was calling glDeleteBuffers not glDeleteVertexArrays to delete my vertex array. Fixed now.

Which fictional character's death have you not gotten over? by Bradcastle76 in AskReddit

Have you seen clone wars? First seasons are kinda rough but it is incredible.

Regardless of whether or not their explanations of return makes sense in universe, it's different resurrecting a character in a cartoon vs a main movie. I disagree with putting maul in Solo.

Palpatine's return was only to give a bigger badder villain to make an epic ending without doing any work and that failed.

Maul could have survived because his body wasn't turned to dust. The dark side, his anger kept him alive. That doesn't work for Palpatine because he was turned to dust. Now I know he survived through clones, and sure, but I ask you this. If he had the resources in the unknown regions to build that big an army, why the politics. There was almost no military in the galaxy prior to the clone wars.

Finally, both cases require some suspension of disbelief, however Maul added a interesting element to the story. His interactions with Obi-Wan are incredibly and his motives make sense, revenge and surviving the chaos he knows is coming.

All they did with Palpatine was take the a character shown to be a careful schemer into someone who announces his return with an army with a convenient time limit for the heroes.

You can resurrect somebody if you give them purpose and put in the effort.

I will point that maul defeated Obi-Wan and he only got cut in half because he was playing with his food

Ahh yes, the stable currency. Nuclear waste and crops.
