Super Maria Sis.

Published by Silveira on 2020-09-09

In this pixel art rendition I replaced the the characters of Super Mario Bros. for female characters becoming Super Maria Sis. in the tittle.

Mario became Maria just because it’s a single letter change and it works well. Marissa would also have worked.

Luigi became Ligia. Other candidates were Lucia and Luiza. In Italian the feminine name for Luigi is Luigina. Luigi is one of the many Italian forms for the german name Ludwig, which in French becomes Louis. So Luise would have been another candidate. In Portuguese Luís, Luis, or Luiz and their feminine version Luisa, Luíza. I choose Ligia because of the “G” sound.

It’s possible to create a patch over the original NES game when you Read Full Article, to make this art become a real game. There is a lot of examples on how to do that on this article from Female-Characters NES ROM hacks.

Governo militar

Os números já estão sendo torturados. O regime já está matando. Os mortos estão desaparecendo. Há ditaduras militares com menos militares que o governo atual do Brasil.

O Ministério da Saúde ocupado por um militar sem qualificação nenhuma na área-fim da pasta [1]. No restante da pasta mais 25 militares até agora [2]. O restante do executivo não está diferente. O presidente, capitão bunda-suja, o vice, um general. Ministros militares são nove. 3 mil militares da ativa e reserva no restante do executivo[3]. Isso sem contar os casos claros de nepotismo como os filhos do presidente [4] e do vice presidente [5] e base-se lá quantos mais familiares e amigos desses outros 3 mil.

Python: Getting page title

Published by Silveira on 2020-05-26 
# Get the HTML page content
from urllib import request
html = request.urlopen("https://silveiraneto.net").read()

# Get the title tag
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
title = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser').find('title')

print(title.string)

This uses the XML/HTML library BeautifulSoup . This could also be done using regex but playing with HTML and regex is usually a bad idea.
