i figured out that KSP only has such bad lag with big structures because the physics calculations on the unity engine only happen on one core. wish i was a big enough badass to come up with a workaround

if you're gonna make yourself suffer you might as well use C, it'll probably at least be a lil faster. probably not much tho. would be interesting to see the difference

high pressure things make me really uneasy for some reason idk why. like when i use an oxygen-acetylene torch im like 'what if i dropped the torch and it stayed on somehow and cut a hole into the acetylene tank and exploded in firey death'

i was thinking about doing my Senior Design project about a plant lab like use led grow lights and hydroponics and automate the lighting and nutrient levels, it would probably be computery enough, if not i could use a webserver to livestream plantstats

depends, what are you trying to actually do imo its more important to Do the Thing in the easiest way possible, and if its actually cool and/or successful you could spend the time replacing the arduino with a purpose-built thing

hey mrsuperawesome, hey. just because u know enough math and physics to know the buzzwords that does not make you a world renowed expert. or an expert at all really. seek help (either a shrink, or a programmer to make ur markov chains funnier)

ol qwerty bastard posted:i'm lucky in that i have a parking space in an underground garage, and also my main work shift is 6 PM to 2 AM, so i only have to worry about the car overheating whenever i go out for various things during the day the actually correct way to execute your project is to hook the solar panel up to the car's main power, and just use your normal dash fans to cool your car, hth

the only way you might actually improve your car's energy efficiency with solar panels is to use them to charge your battery, then put a larger pulley on your alternator proportionally larger so as to reduce the output so that the solar panel makes up for it. also u gotta park outside e: oh and we're talking a difference of < 1 mpg

Sagebrush posted:lol cars. it's hilarious how inefficient things are when you start really digging into it. i shouldn't be surprised but stil lol. a pwm circuit with a single potentiometer would add like 2 dollars to the cost of the car but welp the heater core is just full of hot radiator fluid, so thats just free heat anyway

a car engine's main job is to haul some hulking ugly 4000-pound metal thing around, plus your fat rear end having a cheaper but slightly less efficient electrical system doesnt really matter because ur talking a difference of a handful of watts, which aint poo poo compared to its total energy output
