Good.
Displays don't like too much heat either.
Here in TX, it gets quite hot.
Laptops need to be treated carefully if you use them outside.

Lucky other times?
At least in the past I saw computers advertise temperature extremes and they were not all that great. Maybe by the pool (or on a porch in a mild Maine day if you are into that.)
But looks like they do build for more extreme conditions if you look.

Most airbases I work on either have permanent buildings or at worst "shipping containers with windows" cabins, all with aircon of some sort.
This one was still being set up, and we were working out of a large tent. A container arrived a couple of days too late.

It worked. Got all my data (.5tb) moved onto new drive.

I have this image for my question: click here
how to compute each planet's position in Zodiac zone every day? such as Venus's position, the angle between Jupiter and Saturn?
Here is one link for Geocentric view of Earth orbiting. it may not be that easy...
I already got help from this Lounge to get JPL data source for each planet's orbits.

Start by finding out the date and time.
When you have that, work out where in it's orbit Earth is - unless you are currently resident on a different planet, in which case use that one instead.
Then work out the location of each other relevant planet or moon.
Basic geometry will then give you the vectors. Extend the vectors to the zodiac zones and Robert is your mother's brother.
Then all you have to do is find someone gullible enough to believe in that twaddle.

That's no problem. (At least) one is born every minute.

thanks for your thoughts. My goal is to put these position(in angle) into a text file and drive my another program to do more calculations.
my doing is not related with the sign for personal life

India.
Throw a rock. First person it hits. And those it bounces and hits. And the paramedics that bandage them up. And the police that arrive to arrest you. And the bystanders taking selfies.
Or the easier route is to teach at one of the many universities that offer a Masters in the study of Astrology.

I agree with OriginalGriff's 'twaddle' statement. But why can't you just use a planetarium program, set it to the time you want, and find the planet's position on the ecliptic? Then figure out how that relates to 'zodiac zones,' and you are done. Ain't nothing hard about that. Any basic planetarium program gives ecliptic positions.

I need accurate angle information in degree(relative position with another planet), it may need some projective geometry etc...

Most planetarium programs give results accurate to an arc-second or less, so your reply is meaningless. It's pretty f***ing easy to subtract differences. You could script the problem in Stellarium.

PS - the chart you exampled wasn't using anything more challenging than 30° zodiac bands. You just need to know if it uses the tropical or sidereal zodiac.

It IS that easy. Planetarium programs like Stellarium ARE geocentric, although some of them have the ability to move off-Earth.

not really. I try to use these angles to feed my mathematical models to watch some system dynamics....

It seems like you would benefit from having ephemeris data. An astrology web site like astro.com has them available for just about any date range you would want.
