You try a twelve-degree approach to land at Island Runway 09. Absolutely *everything* catches fire spontaneously.
<raptop>
What, is a 12 degree descent angle too shallow?

So... Everything is bad about KSP 2?

NeckoGecko: no
<packbart>
not everything

Oh?
<packbart>
some things are shiny and cool, I'd say

although it was disheartening to see the roachover flop over on Eve's sinking terrain

As I hear, FPS is awful, no flames when penetrating atmosphere from orbit, a lot of glitches, and very wierd render of the clouds. Like itrenders in very low resoolution, scaling up, and as result borders of clouds acting very....wierd
<packbart>
yeah, it can be a challenge to work around the bugs and still reach your intended destination. but from what I see, rarely anyone ragequits because of them
<Mat2ch>
NeckoGecko: lots of Bugs. Danny will have much fun.

Also someone mentioned weird aero simulation

kOS is an ugly language designed by someone who hated computers. I wouldn't touch it :)
<packbart>
or rather Kerboscript
<darsie>
yay, worked :)). thx!
<Althego>
but isnt that intentional?
<darsie>
It's the Kerbal way :).
<Mat2ch>
packbart: I fully agree
<raptop>
packbart: that makes kOS sound like PHP?

Now I use perl to call a python script that saves in ksp via krpc. Then the perl script calls grep to search for a class I comet in the save file and if found, perl renames teh save files.
<Althego>
but perl already can search in files without a grep...
<darsie>
But I'd have to load the file in perl, right?
<Althego>
which is like 2 lines
<darsie>
found one!
<Althego>
i would have skipped perl altogether though
<Mat2ch>
raptop: worse.
<Althego>
worse than php?
<Althego>
is it worse than ada even?
<Mat2ch>
I have never worked with Ada, can't tell...
<darsie>
It's an inner class I comet, ofc.
Ezriilc has joined #KSPOfficial
<raptop>
What do you even do with Ada, explain to the missile how it knows where it is?
<raptop>
darsie: as long as your scripts don't result in parsing HTML with regular expressions...
<Mat2ch>
For a known set of HTML this is fine. Like for repairing something. But not for actually parsing html...

Hmm, how do I calculate Pe from a negative SMA?
<darsie>
I guess I need ECC, too.
<darsie>
nm
<darsie>
What I'm after is altitude.
<raptop>
yeah, should be doable if you have both
<raptop>
Pe = a(1-e) should still give reasonable answers?
<darsie>
No, I want to know if it's far or close to Pe.
<raptop>
oh, so something closer to the kepler equation
<darsie>
Hmm, does MNA tell me that?
<raptop>
(...though I don't know if that works for hyperbolic orbits)
<raptop>
depending on how its dealing with the epoch, MNA might

I feel like the guys waiting for their bitcoin hardware wallet hack to finish :).
<minas_tirith>
I have heard good things about Perl
<raptop>
consensus is that it's a good language for both hacking together small scripts, and summoning eldritch abominations
<SporkWitch>
now that python's plugin/library ecosystem has caught up with PERL, it's supplanted it as the most popular scripting language. That happened several years ago, though
minas_tirith has quit [Quit: bye]
<packbart>
well, it's a highly optimized regex engine with a few added utility functions ;)

I think the standard joke with Python is that it's the 2nd best language for everything
<packbart>
I haven't looked at recent benchmarks, though. I would guess that Perl is still in the top, if not the fastest thing to match patterns in large amounts of data
<packbart>
well, maybe depends on the definition of "large". I haven't worked with Hadoop-stuff in years now
<SporkWitch>
i want to say python can still perform better, since it CAN be compiled ahead of time (it will even do this automatically for especially large or complex programs, compiling once on first run and saving that for reuse)
