"hate and persecution of Jews and other "undesired groups" was a core part of Nazi propaganda."

Hate and persecution of all minorities in europe was the expected status quo even after the war. Only after 60's you are seeing minority group rights becoming a thing, and they are still problematic in places.

Nazi's total genocide was the thing that was completely out of bounds of accepted civilized behaviour circa 1940. Not racism.

"Everyone did it" is not an excuse, but on basic expectations most of europe was racist and oprressive of minorities. German people were not worse than anyone else.

I'm not saying that this excuses anything, but the claim that "on average, they weren't worse than anyone else" holds.

The guilt for the genocide should be mostly on the shoulders of the administration and the officers who carried it out, not the average German citizen.
This is a great example of economic harmony in nature. There has been a big debate in environmentalism whether rising incomes naturally produces more concern for and protection of the environment.

The implications of that question are, very, very important.

The single best move Europe could make would be to limit any digital stores to maximum 12% commission. That would truly reign in the monopoly power of these platforms (typically American) and dramatically boost the revenues of content creators (many of whom are European).

12% covers the overhead costs of the stores and still allows a healthy profit for the monopoly owner.

I hope that next on the target list is Valve, who charges a 30% regressive tax on Indie games but allows big-budget AAA games to get by with only 20% tax:

Radar directed AA guns were totally a thing in the 1940s. The US developed the Mk37 director (using the Mk4 radar), and had it in service before Pearl Harbor.

Carriers were invented well before this. And would have been invented regardless, as they were useful for more than just sinking battleships. The fact that they could sink battleships resulted in them becoming the preeminent surface combatant.

But carriers were useful for scouting, for land attack, for defense against enemy aircraft, for anti-submarine warfare, for killing smaller surface combatants (like destroyers).
I should've linked it, that was a bit rude of me. Thankyou!
I think Apple hasn't made payment on the App Stores nearly flexible enough. For instance, why should there be one and only one payment method supported?

I run a small business, and I have to keep a running total of App Store purchases I made for business purposes and write a monthly reimbursement check to myself. This is ridiculous for accounting purposes.

It should be easier to have an Apple ID for business and a separate personal ID.

There should also be an option to choose another payment method whenever you make a purchase.

>From a developer perspective I don't see why anyone should use the AppStore as a distribution channel to a huge market and completely circumvent Apple's cut when clearly they are offering a lot of value by making this possible in the first place?

Would it be fair if Google would take a cut for any payments you do from Chrome? Also by this logic I assume you think is fair that next OSX version will lockdown and you will have to pay Apple for the privilege of running the applications you want and that Apple also approved that are safe for you and are also contain Apple approved content.

Apple could make you pay to host free applications on their store, so you pay the costs for hosting the content. For paid apps Apple can take a small cut on top of the hosting if they promote the applications. Apple should not get involved if I buy a XBOX game using an XBOX app and get a giant cut from that and they should not block legal content
So I guess the masses are OK with this.

Security researchers / developers are employed by companies and organizations that have an interest in this technology, e.g. law enforcement, secret services.

I suspect most serious / active open source projects have a number of paid for developers like that. TBH, they need it, if their scale is beyond a small library / utility.
RHEL kernels are like that. They backport a ton of stuff and the major version number is of little relevance, but it doesn't change because they maintain a stable kABI.

I actually took this a step further and un-followed all of my friends. It took me more than a few hundred clicks, but Facebook now shows me a completely empty news feed. There's no ads either, although I'm not sure if that's because of uBlock Origin or if it's because there's not enough posts to stick ads in-between.

As soon as there's another service I can use as a modern Rolodex, I'll be using that instead. I think most people only have an account for this reason...

Sorry but I don't really buy it. The density that was the urban center will likely be dispersed. It will take some time and be painful, but the market will correct and shift.

Keep in mind that when level 4-5 self driving vehicles finally do arrive, studies have shown that people will tolerate much longer commutes, especially if they can work, sleep, or just relax in their car. That will push urban sprawl even further out and reduce city population density also.

> On a percentage basis, the world is zero sum

This is circular statement. Percentage is defined as a fraction of a some specified thing, so of course it's fixed. Ten percent of something is ten percent no matter how big or small that thing gets...

Anyway, I'm still not following your reasoning here. If you cut everyone's salaries where I work by 50% and only cut mine by 20%, that's still a bad day for me, even though I'm getting a bigger share of the total compensation paid out. People can argue about whether or not, or to what extent, wealth should be redistributed, but zero sum thinking is a bad path to go down and completely ignores humanity's ability to better its lot through innovation, trade, etc. It's a depressingly pessimistic worldview that prioritizes taking from others instead of creating things that others find valuable. At it's core it's a selfish ethos.

For those that care, it is though - they can do their own builds off the master or develop branch. You're confusing continuous delivery with continuous deployment. Delivery is that your software CAN be deployed at any given point, which is ensured by e.g. a test suite and other checks before something is merged.

I've developed an open source VR workout game that tries to provide a full body workout, but one thing I am missing is an external view of the player to adjust their exercise if it is not done correctly.

It looks like Vivafit could be that companion that could do that.

The game is called VRWorkout and currently available for free on Sidequest but PC VR is coming soon

I haven't heard of CudaText before, I'll check it out, thanks!

I'm familiar with Kate, and it works fine but I have to spend more time getting it the way I want it than I do with Geany so I usually just install the latter. My needs are modest compared to most sysadmin and developer types, so (as with Geany and N++) I don't use the bulk of its features.

I tried out Sublime Text when I was using a Mac as my main workstation, but it didn't jive with my workflow so I stayed with TextWrangler on that platform. I've since stopped using my Mac for anything other than experimenting with music production (I don't like the direction the OS is going these days) so a text editor is less of a concern there.

I never used the old trending page, but it sounds like the Changelog Nightly newsletter [1] is basically the same thing. It goes out every day at 9PM Pacific. It has 3 sections:

Media in USA is primarily concentrated in New York City. It was hit HARD. The rest of the US wasn't.

Economists for the most part do not consider physics. Some might say that economics is to ecology what astrology is to astronomy.

I like Howard Odum's work on environmental accounting but in many ways that is a dead end. He developed a scheme that considers the quality of energy as opposed to quantity. "Emergy" is embedded energy traced back to sunlight, even the energy it takes to make fresh water. Energy in the form of plants, liquid fuels, and electricity all have a emergy/energy ratio (transformity) of 200,000.

What makes it a dead end is that uncertainties interact with ideology. David Pimentel would look through the literature and find the most pessimistic numbers, industry boosters find the most. When your formula looks like the Drake equation those factors really make a huge difference.
The difference between steam and apples store is that if I want to install a game on Windows I can download a binary and run it or use a rival platform.

On Apple you don't have that choice so the onerousness of the store policies effects consumers by proxy but the lack of freedom for users directly is far worse.

Honestly the EU should threaten to force a requirement to allow third party applications to run, Android clears that bar already, Apple not so much.

> The old Trending algorithm was definitely flawed, but it was simple, objective, and ever so slightly ruthless. It heavily skewed toward JavaScript and web development, but under-indexed a lot of backend and AI stuff.

Isn't that super contradictory? How is the old algorithm both objective AND skewed towards Javascript?
I think ultimately Sourceforge fell from grace because it wasn't "fun", whatever that may mean; it was lacking the social features, poor UX, etc. Many things that make it boring or "not fun".

I've looked at some tools used by Google - mailing lists, Gerrit, etc - none of those look fun. For a casual like me, fun is important.

I don't do much with open source because I don't have the headspace, willpower or persistence to contribute much so the discussion is a bit wasted on me, but I've used both Github, Gitlab and Stash (Atlassian) for work projects; the feedback loop that tools like this give is super important to me.

You are right. Even parent post is right in a sense that there multiple reasons. I think your explanation covers tech sector perspective ( they are in a sweet spot now and don't want to lose it ). I maintain that the main reason it is happening is the steady push to make policing easy again.
Some sentiments I've seen being passed around in some chess communities is that things like this makes chess less attractive to people who regard chess as something you need to spend bunch of years to learn before you get interesting enough games to be broadcast. They see the current movement of "Twitch profiles playing chess against others" as something like a celebrity-disease overtaking the sport that used to be low-profile.

Edit: just to be clear, I don't agree with this stance. Just echoing what I've seen elsewhere to try to answer the "wonder why no one tried to get together a bunch of celebs to play chess earlier?" question

Wait...

I have seen average programmers who can write less dumbed down code than the most succinct code possible in Go.

I have seen below average programmers who understand how to use generic data structures / programs in C++ / Java / C# etc..

> It's designed to be simple, to be boilerplate, to be easily reviewable/checkable by coding teams.

Boilerplate and easily reviewable are at the odds. Unless Enterprise style java is the bar, it is hard for anyone to say that. Go is too much boilerplate than average programmer's python code, for example. Don't tell me python is dynamic. The average programmer doesn't do metaclass magic.

Being so much boilerplate and verbose `if err != nil` and no generics and no methods/functions for common operations like finding the index of an element in an array. All this leads to for-loop-inside-while-loop-inside-for-loop attrocities where it is harder to decipher what the intention is. Compare to python where you have methods on collections to carry out common manipulations, and list comprehension in python is so cleaner than 4 line imperative go code.

Go seems to miss why python/JS/ruby are so popular. It is because so much is built in that you can communicate __intent__ clearly without getting bogged down in details. Compared to any modern language that's not C and not mediaeval C++, Go is so much more verbose. Even java has enough shortcuts to do these common things.

And don't start telling me this leads to incomprehensible code. Coding standards are there. What's unreadable is 8 level indented imperative attrocity of blue collar language Go.

> Not sure why Go and Rust are always the compared languages.

They both emerged at same time and have some overlapping scope - eg static native compilation, memory safety etc.. but there similarities end. However, there is lack of a a popular, succinct natively compiled language which gets out of the way to write software. Everyone knows expressive languages need not be slow or difficult to deploy. Some people have to write Go in dayjob and the sibling rust, having quality-of-life improvements that anyone expects in a post-2000 language [0], seems to be a closer candidate to comparison (even though rust isn't the optimal language for the things Go is used for, given it is a systems language with static memory management) Others like D and Nim have a fraction of users. Of course there are also some vocal rust fanboys who think crab god is not popular because world is anti intellectual.
This complaint makes no sense. (It may still be true - fun is subjective - but the article offers an objective argument for it that doesn't hold up.)

> The Trending page used to be a straight-up list of the projects with the most new stars in the last 24 hours across the whole site (and by language).

...

> In this era of Developer Relations, VC-backed open source, and the endless developer-content-bullshit machine, the old Trending page was one of the few places left on the web where it seemed like the best ideas still won.

I've been seeing corporate projects beg for stars (from either employees or users) for almost a decade now. Meanwhile, I have never asked for stars on my personal repos and I think most people don't. If you don't like companies putting their finger on the scale, stars are the absolute last thing to measure!

> The worst side effect of the new Trending page is that a lot project discovery has moved to other platforms, and more specifically, to Twitter. This isn’t good for the community. We went from a flawed meritocracy ... good ideas and good projects are getting lost, especially from newcomers.

To clarify, are you asserting that hiding political advertisements - either by not allowing them like Twitter or by giving people an option to opt-out like Facebook - is censorship?
By being true, and suggesting something else.

Obviously non ethical hackers can get paid non ethically. Anyone can get paid non-ethically after all. It's a fact that's so trivial it's useless if you just take it for its factual content. What makes it interesting is the implication that people use hashcat for unethical (and/or illegal) activities and use the proceeds from that to pay for their time improving hashcat. The comment doesn't state that, but it's what we are all thinking when reading it.
