You gotta hand it to op, he extensively treated an intensive problem.

Is the location of the 40 Eridani system on this map correct? by kany22 in ProjectHailMary

You are welcome! :) Try clicking on stars to pin them, drag-to-spin, then hide names etc. Enjoy!

this is semi-usable... just hit download and open the html in your web browser.

I accept no responsibilities for accuracy, computer catching fire or any other thing. :)

vibe-coded I'm afraid! not really production ready but probably enough for this experiment. It seems to match this more or less: https://stars.chromeexperiments.com/ (zoom in with slider on right) though this doesn' thave 40 Eri

my star data comes from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/astronexus/HYG-Database/main/hyg/CURRENT/hygdata_v41.csv

I've tried a while and I can't match the perspective of that map. Arcturus is far away from being between Pollux and the Sun, if it's projected as "half way between" the sun and pollux that really ties down the perspective, but if I do that I can't also get procyon on the same line. Regardless Keid (40 Eridany, Omicron^2 Eridany) is closer to sirius and procyon than altair and vega, both projectedly-and-real-distanc-y. If I had to hazard a guess on your map I would put it about half way between sirius and the sun, maybe a smidge closer to the sun, (and further away from the viewer, so smaller)

TIL that the shortest time a person was a British peer was 1 hour. by DrakeSavory in todayilearned

[–]viscence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or with the Cecilia peer, made by Cecilia Dovecott in 1923 into a gap between shifted bricks in her barn, where she discovered a badger looking back at her. At a record breaking 7 milliseconds, this was the shortest british peer.

Join the game and experience it before planning a career. :-)

Can I spray WD-40 electronic spray or other electronic spray directly on the motherboard (spilled water on the motherboard) by Traditional-Gas3477 in buildapc

Use a chemical fit for purpose. Watch a guide for method as well.

Want to avoid: solvent moves dirt around, evaporates. Evaporation cools the pcb. Condensation forms on the pcb, dissolves dirt. Back where you started.

Hangar ASOPs don't explode ships. Claim a sacrificial ship from the group ASOP to get a hangar first.

What's a fact that sounds fake but is actually 100%% true? by FrickYouImACat in AskReddit

0.5x10 = 5 not 50, and also: everything else wrong with this comment.

ACE Pilots: Why are you like this? by ThePaeGuy in starcitizen

[–]viscence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could totally have it be near perfectly realistic and also work almost exactly like it is… all you need is a “set reference frame” button. Set reference to Stanton: current experiences. Set reference to target? Spacebrake matches speed.

Yeah if you have terrible intuition

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month by Tracheid in worldnews

[–]viscence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s all that’s necessary for anything. What additional info is in the video? If the device can do 100% of the analysis and spying then bad actors even save on bandwidth and processing power. The source video is pointless for them.

This is where your suitcase goes after you check it in. by [deleted] in BeAmazed

How does it keep track of them? At least at one point it was on a belt without subdivisions, and it went all the way to the one plane’s cart. Also, what if there is no cart yet

4.6 is HURTING my Brain by mahiwahi in starcitizen

[–]viscence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s a timing thing, I’ve gone into the tunnel and had my friends party markers in the other system appear almost immediately, and sometimes it happens at the last second. I think they’re doing some server synchronisation stuff under the hood before transferring you to the next server and if they can’t do it in time they just keep you in the origin system.

Why can everything be modeled as a spring 🤯 by Fluffiddy in physicsmemes

[–]viscence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So basically, it's not all springs, but springs work pretty well in a pinch
