Morning all. I use a hard drive system at home where an SSD (c:) has the OS, Office and a few other bits of software. d: drive has other software installed such as games then multiple drives for data.
I need to clean install my OS (it'll be simpler that trying to sort the issue). Is there a way I can keep the software on d: drive functioning without having to clean install all of that too?
I've seen weirdly formatted text called Zalgo like below written on various forums. It's kind of annoying to look at, but it really bothers me because it undermines my notion of what a character is supposed to be. My understanding is that a character is supposed to move horizontally across a line...
Whilst I'm waiting for the OS to install (I didn't bother with a refresh @MichaelFrank), I'm thinking about my major uni project. Just a list of ideas at the moment. I have an app on my ipad which turns handwriting into calculations.
I have a motherboard that supports 8 GB and has 4 240-pin slots.
I only have sticks of DDR3, 240-pin 1 GB RAM sticks.
Will a single one—or more work—or does it have to be in specific increments (e.g., 2 at least, because it has 8 GB max and divided by 4 it’s 2)?
You can encrypt a compressed file but compressing an encrypted file should be useless. I'm going to give you an insanely oversimplified version but you should be able to get the idea.

Oh... that's how you do it. It just has to be its own message.
@ThatBrazilianGuy One of the women sitting behind me said earlier that she 'accidentally had her first cup of coffee in 2 years' and that she 'was wired for the entire meeting'.
@MichaelFrank opposite extreme: ex-coworker would down 4 red bulls and two 5-hour energy drinks every day just to get through an 8-hour workday without falling asleep
oh god, you know what the worst thing for sleep inhibition is? back when I was interning in California, there were these guys who'd weed whack and use leaf blowers for like 2 hours first thing in the morning, and there was absolutely no way to shut them up, and the constant on-off cycles of the equipment would keep you waking up
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! ..... pause; start to drift back to sleep..... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!
@Bob fuel cells are the most amazing thing ever - they're stock parts that very efficiently (and quickly, relative to solar panels) convert liquid fuel and oxidizer into electricity
@Bob the Firespitter mod has well-balanced electric propellers, so without doing any modding or cheating, you can go a very long way on a very small amount of fuel
I'm not sure how they stack up compared to using liquid fuel in turbojets or turbofans, but I'm a good third of way around the planet after traveling at mach 0.9 at 2-3 km, and I've barely used 12 units of liquid fuel
@Bob yeah -- it uses a resource called "FScoolant" which the Firespitter dev says IS atmospheric air, except that it has the "intake" built into the propeller (because it's a propeller and you don't need a separate intake)
you can now attach radial / surface-mounted Intake Air cans on your ship (basically cans of air) and in a vacuum, drain them... to propel... turbojets, turbofans, and propellers O_O
@MichaelFrank shh; you're applying real-world logic to a game
there are no good mount points for more than one engine on that craft
so I made it up :P
3600 kg of liquid fuel, 4400 kg of oxidizer and you can carry the fuel, two kerbals and science equipment easily around the planet a couple of times with that
probably more because it gets lighter as the tanks empty
@Bob I figured it out; it took a lot of finagling... I'm not so good at landing on a precise target, but I managed to land and take off from the small dirt island runway
basically, you turn off your engines and flare hard as you're coming down toward the target (nose up), and pray you don't stall -- if you do stall, your craft needs MOAR WINGS, because wings give you lift, and lift decreases your Vmin (minimum velocity that will not stall)
the first thing you should do is perform various tests by taking off safely, get up to a decent altitude (at least 1000 meters), then gradually reduce your speed until you are no longer able to keep the aircraft from going nose-down (with SAS and RCS disabled)
then modify the craft until the speed at which it starts to do that is lower
then do that some more until it's quite a nice low number, like 45 m/s or less
once you stall at 45 m/s or less, you can land very slowly and thus land on a precise, small target
coming in at 100 m/s, 150 m/s, or higher, is just not controllable
also, I have a new hypothesis
unless you have a super-craft that never stalls or something ridiculous like that, not knowing your stall speed makes landing impossible
because if you don't know your stall speed, and you're coming down very low to the ground and flaring, if you go too slow, you stall and you have very little altitude to recover, and you die
also, stall speed changes during some missions, like if you deploy a lander or rover, or use a large amount of fuel
so you have to literally test it up in the air before you land unless you know the craft well and its configuration has not significantly changed
@Bob the Ferram Aerospace mod (still highly recommended, even after the improved KSP 1.0 drag model) has a built-in tool that will tell you your vertical and horizontal speed
we have: pre-1.0 drag model ==> horrible 1.0 stock drag model ==> decent, but still not great Ferram Aerospace ==> incredible
pre-1.0, I don't think wings could even stall
that's one thing that 1.0 does correctly: it fairly accurately models wing stall and the associated loss of lift
@OliverSalzburg I've noticed that in OneDrive there is a tab called tags under Picture and it automatically tags pictures using some sort of voodoo technology. I then use Cortana to show any of these tags. Spooky how well it works.
Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin. I've not had any problems with renaming files, but I have had duplicate files made. The hostname is at the end of the filename, so they are at least easy to find.
I just wish it had file history/versioning, like Dropbox
The thing is, Google Drive Sync is even more of a piece of crap. I don't get how it is possible that application with such a simple task can have such bugs. Especially after being deployed in the wild for so long
I'd give Dropbox a try, but I have massive storage with Microsoft and Google and I'm not going to pay Dropbox as well :P
I would appreciate if the solutions I'm already paying for would work right
building file list ... Invalid flist flag: 1004

Syncing is incredibly easy until there are conflicts. But in my environments, I always only make changes on one side and expect them to be synced to the other sides
@OliverSalzburg something bob was telling me off for yesterday :D
PHP page, has a button on it - upon pressing the button it should 1. ask for comfirmation, and if confirmed it should 2. display the loading gif again.
@OliverSalzburg nor php, or maybe even not using computers!
Well, if it's already there, you might as well use it, but when you don't need it, it's bad form to use it, because it will just be slower and add an extra layer of abstraction that doesn't really provide any value
Understanding the tools the browser provides to you is more valuable than understanding a library
