<APlayer> Humm, Ellied, what would you do if you had a 3.3v supply and a device that needs 5v? I am looking at currents below 100mA, so that should not be a requirement
<Ellied> I would probably just look for a 5V supply TBH, they're very common and building a boost converter to go from 3.3 to 5V would be a ton of effort compared to just buying a cheapo 5V supply somewhere
<APlayer> Does this look acceptable? https://www.pololu.com/product/2562/specs Because I have no access to 5v in this case, I am powering the whole thing (that drone project I mentioned a few times) from a 3.7v Li-Po cell
<Ellied> ~sf..
<Ellied> disregard that
<Ellied> APlayer: that would work, but would it cost less than just another battery in series and a linear regulator?
<APlayer> It would weigh more
<Ellied> true
<Ellied> that regulator seems pretty good
<APlayer> What would a linear regulator do, though?
technicalfool_ has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds]
<Ellied> a linear regulator is just a magic resistor that adjusts its value to keep the voltage at one end constant, basically
<APlayer> Ah, got it
<Ellied> It's not very efficient, but the output is very stable and they tend to be cheapish
<APlayer> Efficiency is another thing I care about
<Ellied> yeah, that board is what you want then
<APlayer> Alright, thanks!

<egg> bofh: trying to get things moving on the RealSolarSystem front, if you're interested https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealSolarSystem/pull/121#issuecomment-359190773
<Qboid> [#121] title: Recompile for KSP 1.3.1 | | https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealSolarSystem/issues/121
<bofh> Oh, are there compat issues between Principia & RSS?
<egg> bofh: no, it's just that RSS has been stuck in 1.2.2 for ages
<egg> bofh: so I'm trying to get it moving
<egg> bofh: and they work extremely well together, we even choose our default integrator for the real solar system :-p
<egg> bofh: also, RSS at current master has Vesta, Ceres, and the moons of Herschel, finally
<egg> bofh: note that not only is Principia RSS-compatible, RSS looks weird without it (because no axial tilt in stock, so the moons of Saturn don't align with its rings)
<soundnfury> Herschel? ITYM Georgius Sider... uh... -us? /me cannot into Latin
<bofh> the moons of Herschel being Saturn II-VII?
<egg> bofh: Herschel, the planet that comes before Le Verrier in the order of increasing distance to the sun :-p
<soundnfury> sorry, that should have been Georgium Sidus
<egg> yes, it's George's star, not George of the star nor George by the star or whichever case and number you were going for
<soundnfury> like I say, /me cannot into Latin

<awang> TIL shared_ptr isn't thread-safe
<egg> awang: uh wat
<egg> awang: ah you mean a single shared_ptr
<egg> awang: but it's safe to poke at different shared_ptr managing the same objects from different threads
<awang> idk what I mean, to be honest
<awang> Still trying to digest this
<kmath> YouTube - CppCon 2017: Louis Brandy “Curiously Recurring C++ Bugs at Facebook”
<awang> I think it's changing a shared_ptr that isn't thread-safe?
<awang> control block is thread-safe, pointed-to T isn't thread-safe, and the shared_ptr itself isn't thread-safe
<egg> bofh: also, do you know ModuleManager https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/50533--/&page=142&tab=comments#comment-2530142
