    Humor Sweden male train drivers wear skirts after shorts row

    Seeing no problem whatsoever with this, I have to ask: why the [humor] tag?

    Problem Text in Textures

    Orbiter's V coord is flipped in relation to some other programs. I hit this problem when converting some meshes for raytracing ¬¬.

    Pictures of your city

    My city at night: And a bit of its architecture: Great for tourism, horrible to live in (proof: it took me many minutes to find a good photo which didn't include the beach). Hell on Earth in a very literal sense, this beauty lies only a few degrees south of the equator - tourists and...

    Humor Random Comments Thread

    I have only seen sounding rockets while visiting the CLBI (Hell's Barrier Launch Center), but sadly no launch. I might try and visit the CLA (Alcântara Launch Center) in the next years, and I still have hopes of seeing a successful VLS launch before I die. Yeah, right :beathead:

    Question How come I almost can't find any female Orbinauts?

    Don't split hairs. We've all been to space ;)

    Programming Question Hello World!

    A piece of advice: don't ever, EVER, use code you don't understand. Besides the obvious possibility of malicious code, being pendant and detalist now will help you avoid many 'beginner mistakes' and reduce frustration. Take this for instance: cin.sync(); cin.get(); cin is a variable of type...

    C++ Question organizing code

    I think this is one of the few 'rules' a serious programmer should take to heart. The question is whether you know which part of your code fit into those 3%. (hint: timer and profiler) With that said, there are optimizations that actually do make code more readable and simpler. You shadow test...

    Question How do you pronounce 'Hohmann' in your language?

    Strictly, H is silent, but many of the people I asked did pronounce the first H correctly. Mostly due to influence of the English language in Brazilian society, I guess. What varied most was the tempo - some stressed the O, some stressed the A.

    Retired Avatars Thread

    A cropped version of this: Fitting, I'd say. I had no idea which avatar to use, so I searched for '?' on Google Images, and this was the best image on the first page. Then I found a drawing of a Starship Troopers' Arachnid :woohoo:

    Project genericvessel - spacecraft3 and multistage2 replacement project

    Very nice. I once wrote something alike, intended to be a drop-in replacement SC3 and MS2, and I planned to add UMmu support + other misc extensions. It wasn't ready for prime time, but luckly isn't needed anymore. A few ideas are still roaming my mind right now, such as JSON (or a small Lua...

    Question removing add ons

    If you are willing to invest a bit of your time, DVCS, like Mercurial, Git or Bazaar are superior alternatives to JSGME, albeit a bit more complex. Face has posted a tutorial a while ago, using Mercurial. If you find it, I'd recommend you read it and give it a try.

    Are you a Synesthete? Digging into the psyche.

    Util a few years ago, small numbers were uniquely coloured, and smells still are. Most abstract concepts have a visual representation, which I end up using when solving some problem. Math is a prime example: numbers are, sometimes rather complex, 1/2/3D structures, which are grown, shrinked...

    Just found this pic with various rockets from around the world, in scale. Someone might find this interesting:

    Any interest in a linux port (not wine)?

    Not where I live. The norm here (for non-techies) is to buy PCs assembled by big national, or international companies.

    Question What version control system do you use in add-on development?

    Git also uses .gitattributes and .gitmodules. .gitignore files were always optional. Ignored files can also be specified in .git/info/exclude (or something like that).

    Question What version control system do you use in add-on development?

    For beginners, showing how VCSs may improve their current situation is, IMHO, always better than preaching based on hypothetical, contrieved, uncommon, or textbook situations. These three scenarios are excellent examples, which, I guess, anyone who coded anything but the most trivial program has...
