Will there be one member of the cabinet hear the "You're fired!" each week?

"Fairness-Problem": Braucht es eine Erbschaftssteuer-Reform? in c/[email protected]
[–] Treczoks 1 points 39 minutes ago

Gerade sehr vermögende Menschen oder Unternehmen würden ins Ausland abwandern, beispielsweise nach Österreich, wo keine Erbschaftssteuer aufgerufen werde, so der Volkswirt.

Da kann man die Amerikanische Lösung nehmen: Wer die USA verlässt und dabei Vermögen mitnimmt, muss das versteuern. Und schon macht Auswandern nach Ösiland keinen Spaß mehr.

OK, that is actually something usable. So far what they could learn from here is how to take a shortcut through the fields ;-)

There are two questions. Is it cheap, and can it be hacked to run Linux instead?

They are probably still getting funds if they teach how positive and helpful slavery was to the victims, and how important slavery was for businesses to be profitable for the owners.

And this software will probably be able to route soumeone from one special Pokemon point to the other. Wow. There are three of them in our town. It will be very smart in speedrunning that triangle.

The problem is that most issues would either force people out of their comfort zones or, even worse, would force them to actually do something. Not going to happen if they are not kicked in the butt by the city or state or whatever, or by catastrophe itself.

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (self.lego)
submitted 5 months ago by Treczoks to c/lego

My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.

I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.

But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:

  • BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
  • LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
  • Parts Weight

I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.

Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

Wrote my first longer Python program (self.linux)
 

Sounds easy? Well, it should have been. I'm not talking about a "Hello, World!" (although it is more or less on the same level for me). The goal was to write a set of three MQTT clients that properly talk with each other and interact nicely.

So I had to learn Python and MQTT on the same day. Should not be an issue after 40 years of programming. But it quickly turned out that the Python library/package for MQTT on Ubuntu was heavily outdated (1.6), and did not supply all the functions the documentation and examples (2.0) asked for. Using pip3 didn't work, as it complained that the package structure was maintained by the OS. In the end, I had to virtualize the python3 system and pip3 the 2.0 package there and run it.

After about three hours, I had the clients working as they should. Yes, I think MQTT is a good base for the next project.

Is there a community for the engine behind wikipedia (mediawiki)? (self.wikipedia)

I was just wondering. There was or is a mediawiki group on Reddit, but so far I could not find one here.

Anyone else thinking that the new Eldorado Fortress is too expensive? (self.lego)
submitted 1 year ago by Treczoks to c/lego

The new Eldorado Fortress is listed at €214.99. Is it just me, or is this set much to expensive for what it is? When I saw it, I thought "Maybe €150, €170 tops", and was shocked when I heard the real price.

I know (who doesn't?) that LEGO is not cheap, but this is not a Starwars set, it is 100% their own IP.
