Hope I signed it right 03:32:29 The longitude problem was a bootstrapping problem in the 17th and 18th centuries. European powers wanted to build colonies in the lands at southern longitudes. For that, they needed their ships to reliably navigate in the southern seas. For that they needed accurate mechanical watches. But to build mechanical watches, you need both normal screws and mirrored screws threaded so they tighten left. But you 03:32:35 could only manufacture mirrored screws in the southern longitudes due to the Coriolis effect. Eventually Christian Huygens solved this using the moons of Jupiter, since we can see both hemispheres of Jupiter from Earth using telescopes, and telescopes can be built with screws cut in just one direction. 03:32:48 Now my question is, how to explain the essence of this briefly enough to fit a wisdom? 03:44:17 shachaf: oh no: https://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/bonfire-witless.png 03:56:58 int-e: Uh oh, did you get the full game? 03:57:06 I haven't played since last time we talked about it. 04:01:36 I may have gotten it 05:26:56 So it turns out that this area https://int-e.eu/~bf3/tmp/space.jpg has three bonfires in it, but little else. 05:27:07 (the void is a bit prettier too) 05:37:40 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has joined. 05:38:58 -!- Lord_of_Life has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds). 05:38:59 -!- Lord_of_Life_ has changed nick to Lord_of_Life. 05:55:06 -!- slavfox has quit (Quit: ZNC 1.8.2 - https://znc.in). 05:58:12 -!- slavfox has joined. 06:25:55 -!- b_jonas has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 07:59:10 -!- Sgeo has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer). 08:02:48 -!- tromp has joined. 08:37:51 -!- razetime has joined. 09:09:26 [[Special:Log/newusers]] create * Mkukiro * New user account 10:16:32 -!- __monty__ has joined. 10:19:40 -!- Thelie has joined. 10:57:23 -!- Thelie has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds). 11:30:07 -!- wib_jonas has joined. 11:32:58 I accidentally plugged in a 3.5 mm jack connector to an USB port. to my defense, the port is next to the jack port that I meant, on the far side of the notebook. apparently this shorted the power lines in the USB port and tripped the overcurrent protection and the port kept resetting and giving an error to the OS. 11:33:53 it took me a while to figure out which USB port it even is, because I kept assuming the USB port that I was using deliberately. 11:34:22 obviously I removed the external HUB from that USB port, but then I have no external keyboard or mouse available, which makes debugging harder. 12:35:01 -!- tromp has quit (Quit: My iMac has gone to sleep.

(cd/d C:\Windows & cd/d C:\) will work, assuming the C:\Windows directory exists enough that you can cd into it 16:05:25 but just changing to the same path that's already your wd but with the case of the drive letter changed will silently do nothing 16:56:04 -!- tromp has quit (Quit: My iMac has gone to sleep.
