@Grenade123 In theory, any comet should be structurally stable enough to ride. The only trick would be attaching to it for the ride
Oh, and picking one big enough
I think we need to get a science channel in here
I think we need to get some more scientists in here too
I would love that
That way we aren't just speculating on everything
Hey, if politicians can make legislation on this stuff being less informed than us, why can't we speculate?
About the only things I can speak with authority on are programming and nuclear power (again, thanks to my "armchair expert" status)
And even in programming, I acknowledge there are languages I know basically nothing about
My armchair experience comes from way too much science and discovery channel.
I don't really have the authority to speak on anything.
And personal interest in the topics
@Revan what's your native programming languages?
We can combine stuff you know about with stuff you don’t know about. Nuclear powered rocket ships.
There is a drive idea based around firing nukes to use as propulsion
The university I went to for Computer Science started with C and C++, then moved on to Java. Since graduating, I've worked mainly with Java and Javascript (I'm most qualified as a web developer nowadays)
I also know enough of the following to be "dangerous": Lisp, Erlang, Ada, FORTRAN
Oh, and Groovy and Kotlin
Oof Fortran
but those are just Java with nicer syntax
I know none of those things.
I've looked into C# on occasion, but the companies I've worked for haven't been that big into C#
With some web development as I know JavaScript, just not great
@ping I know there's more to it than that, but they're both supersets of Java
Any valid Java code is also valid Groovy/Kotlin code
C# has only really started to take off recently now that the .net framework is going cross platform
just like C++ is just a superset of C
And Microsoft is making things more open source
C++ isnt a superset of C though
Any valid C code is valid C++ code, ergo C++ is a superset of C
It is
Not at all
Give me one line of code that would compile under C but not under C++
C++ doesn't allow most of the pointer casts involved with idiomatic C
Yes it does. It just has better syntax for those now, so people rarely use the old C pointer casts
No naming in struct initializers
You have to extern "C" all C headers to make sure symbols aren't mangled
I'm not well versed on struct initializers, so I can't speak to those
