Trump Decried Millions Spent ‘Making Mice Transgender.’ It Was Cancer and Asthma Research in c/politics
[–] Treczoks 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Republicans can't read. This was about "transgenic" mice, not "transgender". Looks like three-syllable-words are to hard for the conservative brain.

"We Are Fighting Against a Dictator Backed by a Traitor" – A French Senator Speaks Out in c/world

This speech should run 24/7 on all American channels.

Maybe if he took his medication, he could be a normal person.

That is the speech America needs to watch. On repeat.

Better a man without a suit than a suit without a man.

They probably have that idea already, anyway.

About everything about the Trum-Musk-Coup is taken from the Nazi playbook.

Trump and Elon would probably kill minimum wage at federal level to put an end to the discussion.

And reinstating child labour will just extend the target population to drive the price of work down, so you can expect that, too.

While you are at it, wave goodbye to unions, too. Who needs pesky workers rights?

New superconducting quantum processor outpaces world’s fastest supercomputer by quadrillions in c/technology

Yes, but at that point, they had not even tried that. Here and now, millions over millions have been wasted and no tangible advance has been made.

Learn physics, kid. Maybe learn math first.

Let him try, there will be enough hurricanes coming this season, even if the NOAA will be no longer around to warn people. And they are mostly heading to red states, so they would make a perfect testing ground.

No commercial platform should be the core of an emergency information system. One might mirror information there, but the core should always be. In public hands.

Geschichte wiederholt sich (self.wahl)
 

  1. Januar 1933: Paul von Hindenburg: "Wenn er erst mal Reichskanzler ist, haben wir ihn unter Kontrolle"

  2. Januar 2025: Friedrich Merz: "Wir werden nächste Woche in den Deutschen Bundestag Anträge einbringen, die ausschließlich unserer Überzeugung entsprechen. [...] Und wir werden sie einbringen, unabhängig davon, wer ihnen zustimmt."

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (self.lego)
submitted 8 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 2 years 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.
