    API Question XRSound dependency on ATL

    Hi, My question can probably only be answered by @dbeachy, but I found out that XRSound.lib has a dependency on ATL (on atls.lib to be precise). I just wanted to make sure that the dependency was intended, because I don't really see why it would be needed. I hit this issue simply because I...

    C++ Question Help with pointers

    Actually, in your case, passing by reference would be statically safer. Here it goes: class Gauge1 { public: Gauge1(VESSEL3* myVessel, const double& pressureKPA); ~Gauge1(); void DoPressureCheck(); private: const double& m_pressureKPA; }; Gauge1::Gauge1(VESSEL3*...

    Beautiful Château Frontenac this morning while going to work. Note the highest roof was remade about a year ago, and the copper is already oxidising magnificently.

    Retro Cool Technology

    Dave Jones recently disassembled a mechanical computer taken from a B52 bomber. This beauty is mechanical engineering porn, for sure. https://youtu.be/hzGaO4Kdz2Y

    News Keith Emerson RIP

    It's a terrible lost. His heritage to progressive rock is tremendous. Farewell Keith ! I posted Karn Evil 9 a few weeks ago on another thread. Here's another classic: https://youtu.be/U7NAGTq_IJQ

    C++ Question Extending OrbConnect to Other Vessels

    You cannot change the return value of clbkGeneric. However, you can pass a pointer to an empty struct in the context parameter, and implement a message ID to fill in the struct. Just some quick and dirty code: int ShuttleA::clbkGeneric(int msgid, int prm, void* context) { switch(msgid)...

    What music are you listening to?

    Thanks Andy for sharing, I didn't know this band, but it sounds really great. I've been listening Brain Salad Surgery for the past few days. This album is wonderful. Karn Evil 9 must be listened once in a lifetime. But Jerusalem is less known, but still great : https://youtu.be/iFbJQ65xJSg

    Nice website ! I didn't read it all, but the text looks fine (English is only my second language). I really like the scrolling on the main page. Works like a charm. I tested it on IE9 and upwards. IE8 has a problem with the screen on the right, but IE8 should be dead and buried. I would...

    Question Old Calculator: Russian Elektronika MK 52

    What a coincidence! I religiously watch Dave Jones and his EEVBlog on YouTube, and he had this calculator during his mailbag segment last monday. He had the same problem with the keys. Looks cool, but I'll keep my HP-12C... Here's the video. The segment with the calculator starts at 41:00...

    That's a really interesting project your working on jedidia. That Raspberry Pi is a very promising platform. We're pretty much in the same boat. I only worked on a few simple projects with Arduino before being hired. This is the Texas Instruments CC3200 Launchpad. This MCU, clocked at 80 Mhz...

    SDK Question 2D Panel mesh structure

    If someone is interested, I have a few classes to write 2d panel instruments easily for Orbiter. It creates the mesh for you and you can easily populate it without having headaches with the triangles. There is basic ordering of the groups (for background and top elements) and every panel element...

    CSS is definitely a nightmare for laying out designs. However, there are some tools that can help you. I use LESS for writing my code. It enables variables, mixins (pseudo-functions) and nested rules (e.g. defining the hover of a link directly into the "a" definition) just to name a few. In...

    That was a great post kamaz. It is always impressive to see the differences in the national words. Another great example is Montreal, which is pronounced as it is in English, while in French, we remove the t ("Monréal"). Pronounciation is definitely the biggest challenge in English. French is...

    Czech is a weird word. Czech is actually Tchèque in French, and it is pronounced the same way as in English. However, in English, the z is suddenly transformed into an h in order to form the ʃ (ch) sound. In French, the ch is there, and the t prevents from pronouncing like chèque, with a soft...

    MIT/Caltech

    I will be studying software engineering at Université Laval next autumn and my student fee is around $1300 (everything included, except the books) for each semester. Therefore, it will cost me around $10,400 to get my degree (4 years). I don't have access to a scholarship, because the revenue of...

    I failed on this one :lol: I still remember the jingle for BNL (I have the soundtrack) : BuyNLarge is your superstore, We got all you need, and so much more, Happiness, is what we sell, That's why everyone loves BNL.
