Just kick them off the island. Literally. Without involving a boat or plane.

Can't we just "repatriate" him to NK? He looked quite content when he was there last time.

How are pseudo/true random numbers generated mathetmatically, what sorcery is this? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

An interesting source of randomness is using a diode "in reverse". Randomly, a few electrons pass through, which can be amplified and measured. One uses a 2^n number of such constructs and XORs the results to get a random bit.

Das dreistete Ding der FDP ist es ja, der Ampel ihre Probleme anzulasten, während die Realität genau umgekehrt ist - die FDP ist das Problem der Ampel, weil sich die Liberalen der Realität verweigern.

I don't believe he thinks he needs a reason for that.

Of course there is always a limit on testing software, and no money in the world can guarantee that a reasonably complex software is absolutely error free. But I agree, if anyone has the budget to get at least the basics right, then it would be the "big ones" like Microsoft, Google, and Apple.

NASA Is going Ahead With Plans to Set a Time Zone on The Moon in c/[email protected]

It is all a question of definition. The second is defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" - obviously with Earth conditions in mind.

So if Moon time is 56 microseconds ahead of Earth time per day, why not just adding 514,787.37912 transitions periods per day in Moons atomic clocks, and everything is fine?

Why don't they simply run the Moon on Earth time, e.g. UTC? The derivation between Earth and Moon timepieces is known and can easily brought in as a correcting factor.

Especially as one can rarely find American "football" fields in the civilized world. Funny that a site with "science" in its name is incapable of using normal (scientific!) metric units.

Is it any worse than the usual betas? They let customers find the bugs for decades.

Da gibt es noch mehr... Unser Staat schenkt jedes Jahr so um die 8Mrd an an verlorenen Steuern an Linien- und Charterfluggesellschaften, damit Prolos zum Feiern nach Malle und Millionäre zum Shoppen in New York keine Steuern für den Sprit zahlen müssen.

Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0 (lemmy.world)
 

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 (lemmy.world)
 

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)? (lemmy.world)
 

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? (lemmy.world)
 

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.
