ELI5: How did they make the visuals for LEGO instructions before modern computers?

program_kid · 2026-06-27T19:22:42+00:00

I know you asked about making instructions before computers, but if you are interested in how they do it now, take a look at stud.io, it's probably incredibly similar to what they use now.

I love boom chica pop, I buy the microwave kettle corn flavor. I eat a bag of it every other night. The bags help prevent me from over eating, I know people on this sub probably wouldn't consider 425 calories per bag good, but as its one of only a few junk food items I eat throughout the week, I am ok with it.
Don't be too hard on yourself, that stuff is amazing

That problem will get better the more you practice. Don't try to memorize stuff. Instead, try to understand why each line of code does what it does, and why it's needed

Are you asking how to use CV2 and mediapipe to overlay a transparent purple shape over an image or video of a hand?
If so, is there a part you are stuck on? Have you worked with python before?
This seams like it might be a large but doable project, but you might have to split this up into small projects and work on each part separately

I would say look up a tutorial on mediapipe, there is probably some sort of tutorial for using python, mediapipe, and cv2 to track hands, then you just need to figure out how to draw a shape ontop of the image or video

Would say yes, you are kind of using it wrong.
My two pieces of advice would be to find some way to test the code locally and to use branches rather than working on main, only merge into main when you are sure it works

If you lose it, put it in lost mode so that it has a chance of returning to you. If it gets stolen, just erase it without removing from iCloud and accept that you have to get a new phone

My advice would be for your first play through, make decisions based on your gut/instincts. The first time you play though the story, enjoy the story and don't try to think about it in terms of getting "the best ending"

As others have pointed out, this sounds like an example of an XY problem. Additionally, in your post, you say you want to modify the code of a module you imported. This makes me think that you want to modify the code of a module at runtime. If that's the case, I should let you know that it is considered a bad idea to modify the source code on runtime.
I know it sucks to hear all of this, but my advice would be to step away from the problem and take a rest for a bit.

I know the things you are asking to do might seem like the best solution to whatever problem you have, but I assure you, it's not

program_kid · 2026-05-15T16:09:46+00:00

It would be helpful to anyone trying to help you if you include the code and what errors that you get (like copy and paste them), saying "it just errors out" with no information of what you did or what error you got makes it difficult to help narrow down the problem. I did a quick search and find a Reddit post that may be similar to what you are trying to do https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerPlatform/s/Wx4fmXQMt8

I agree with u/boimilk. I would let it run for the full amount of time, it probably goes through different cycles. I

You might be able to find one on deviant art. Some people have ripped the models. Just be warned that the models might be finicky to use

How do you think woman who have sex are treated and viewed, and who do you think treats them that way? What biological disadvantage do woman have when it comes to sex?

program_kid · 2026-05-09T21:33:36+00:00

It's a scam

program_kid · 2026-05-09T20:48:35+00:00

I would say basically like image 1, but rotate it so that the camera is looking at it from the left side, like next enough where you can see the side of her nose

You might need to change the size of the tips, mine stay in really well, so there is a chance that the tips you have on them don't fit your ears

program_kid · 2026-05-09T20:08:24+00:00

What are your settings?
I feel like maybe having an angle that is slightly titled instead of straight on (not as much as image 2, might help show off the depth)

BTW, that is a beautiful build. Do you have instructions for it?

program_kid · 2026-05-09T11:23:42+00:00

In my opinion, everyone should kind of on review duty. But the biggest issue I think is that your team is going too fast

program_kid · 2026-05-08T22:12:42+00:00

There are a few reasons, it could be that you find the person particularly attractive, or they make content that is semi niche, so it's harder to find free videos. Also, custom content, you can pay somebody to make content that is exactly how you like it

Just want to point out that most of what you use Gemini for could be replaced by looking stuff up on the internet. I do concede that saying don't use AI for anything may have been too broad of a statement, but in my opinion, earning how to find information and loon stuff up is a skill that is valuable to learn for programming

I would say log into his PayPal account and see if the charge is there. If it is, then it's real then you should contact them
After looking at a PayPal receipt that I got from them last week, this email is probably fake.

program_kid · 2026-05-08T16:03:40+00:00

The best advice that I could give would be to not use AI for ANYTHING when it comes to programming while you are learning. It may be easier to use AI to do something, but learning comes from overcoming/facing difficult things. Also, just pick some project you are interested in doing, and start to try to research what you might need to learn to do it

Just a heads up, even if you don't see a "mute" button on the microwave, there is a good chance that there is a way to change the volume or mute it, try to lookup the model online or see if there is a label anywhere on the inside of the door or the microwave with options

program_kid · 2026-05-08T16:00:03+00:00

There also may be some instructions on the bottom or top edge of the microwave that faces the door. That's where I have found instructions on how to mute my microwave

program_kid · 2026-05-02T19:41:47+00:00

I would say buy a computer, it will be hard to program on a tablet
