Herausforderungen trotz positiven Trends
Österreich steht bei Umweltschutz weiterhin vor großen Herausforderungen. Zwar unterstreicht der 14. Umweltkontrollbericht des Umweltbundesamts (UBA), dass Österreich in zentralen Bereichen wie der Reduktion der CO2-Emissionen auf dem richtigen Weg ist, gleichzeitig verschärft der zunehmende Klimawandel die Situation. Die gute Nachricht des Berichts: „Die Umweltschutzmaßnahmen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte zeigen positive Wirkung“, so Umweltminister Norbert Totschnig (ÖVP). ⌘ Read more

Not shown here but, this Shape class used on the linked sketch helps eliminate (by adding them to a set) not only Polygons that are visually the same but also shape rotations using a custom .hash() method :)

(A caveat to the reader: The code can be is messy because it sometimes retains remnants of abandoned ideas and lateral explorations. This is creative coding not software engineering)

Random musing from a #Python creative coder:

I have this naïve cumbersome thing for dealing with collinear vertices in a polygon (like a vertex in the middle of an edge that doesn’t change the shape of the polygon, and I tried to replace it with some clever #shapely method such as .simplify(…) or .buffer(0) and failed miserably. So I’ll have to keep my home made check-area-every-three-vertices thing for now…

I’m kind of proud of my idea of representing polygons as a set of frozensets of edge vertex pairs because it eliminates all visually equivalent rotations and reverse ordered rotations (that is, if you don’t have pesky collinear vertices).

@prologic@twtxt.net I wouldn’t know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅
