While I'm sure Holocaust historiography has evolved over the last 50 years since it was published, the latter half of The Twisted Road to Auschwitz: Nazi Policy towards German Jews 1933-1939 covers how among other plans to set up Jewish colonies around the world, the Nazis did cultivate relationships with Zionist groups when trying to expel Jews from Germany.

The book makes a case that, to the Nazis, the Holocaust became a "final solution" when all the other "solutions" they tried for expeling the Jews from German public life before WW2 broke out had failed (eg, the aforementioned failed colonial projects).

I'd say that Evrala's comment has plenty of credible historical support.

The Republic in ep 1 is about to get in a war with the Trade Federation over taxes. If a group of space traders think they can win a fight against the galactic government, then maybe the economy is poor and Republic credits aren't trusted.

You should report this to somewhere like 404 media

You know it's fake because the faces are showing

Popcorn + spoon is the way. Clean hands plus high throughput.

SRE:

• Receives a slack message that lighbulb is broken
• Realizes that they never got an alert when the light went out
• Fixes their monitoring thresholds
• Routes all broken lightbulb alerts to a slack channel nobody reads

I do that for data I want to persist, but which I don't care about backing up (eg caches)

I can outsource things like ddos protection to my cdn provider, but that would still be just kinda hoping I didn’t have any attackable surface I didn’t think of prelaunch.

In that case, I wonder if your money would be better spent on contracting a security review. If you're worried about unknown attack surface, I'm not sure that funding organized crime to rent a botnet would help. Botnet operators rely on you to tell them what to attack, so you're unlikely to discover anything new here. Better to hire a professional and get a fresh opinion.

Is this something you're self hosting for fun, or is it some kind of business?

If you're running web services for a business, you should look into existing load test tooling/infrastructure. Some of it can be fully managed, or other solutions might have a degree of setup involved (eg spinning up worker nodes in AWS or whatever). The hard part is designing your load test to match IRL traffic patterns, but once you have that down you can confidently answer questions about service scalability.

A load test is not a DDoS test. Load tests tell you how much legitimate traffic your services can take. DDoS consists of illegitimate traffic which may not correspond to what your web services expect.

Usually you don't test your systems for something like a DDoS. You would instead set up DDoS protection through a CDN (content delivery network) to shield yourself and let someone else handle the logistics of blocking unwanted load. It's a really hard problem to solve.

Depending on what you want to learn, running your own DDoS is unlikely to be very instructive. Most "DDoS as a service" networks are not going to tell their customers how anything works, they just take your bitcoin and send some traffic where you tell them.

Maybe they once read the thing and got an answer, but now they forget what the specific answer was.

This happens to me often with technical documentation or history books.

I love how legendary producer/musician Brian Eno is reduced to "the Win 95 chime guy"

Small blessings. Seeing a WSL user means that some dev out there didn't have to implement Windows support.

Twist: You think this is the legendary lost crown of Foo? Some rotten trash you grabbed in a dungeon just happens to be the thing you've been looking for all this time? Pull the other one! It's been so ravaged by time that none of the markings or engravings are clearly visible. Best you can hope for is that some merchant will buy it off you for scrap.

Even if the PCs think this is the lost crown of Foo, only the kingdom's last grandmaster artificer can conduct a conclusive test. Assuming you even find them, it's not like they take appointments from any dirty old adventurers off the street.

One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

I realize that this is a humor post, and not necessarily the right place to provide advice, but never underestimate the power of adding a Q&A meeting to someone else's calendar. Someone doesn't want to make time to explain mystery tool? Well you just made it for them. Usually I try and be polite by asking before I arrange something.

WRONG!

• The proper amount of coffee is actually "Up to the number 3 on my grinder's fill chamber"
• The proper waiting time is 6 minutes
• The proper vantage point for casting judgement is behind a keyboard

I'll see you at the world barista championship

Sounds like the perfect reason to have different words. Who would want to type that out every time? I'm sure someone could spend several paragraphs describing the difference between fur and hair, or stucco vs plaster.

If you don't care about the difference between two words, then those words probably weren't invented for you. Someone else who works with that nuance on a daily basis probably really likes that they can sum things up briefly.

I feel like the plot undercut the otherwise cool metaphor that the gorge represented.

East and West, separated by nothing but their deepest fears. Two killers searching for human connection but unable to reach the nearest person. How fucking cool is that? You can do so much!

Then you find out that there isn't really any East/West divide, they're both working for the same bad guys. Traversal of the gorge plays like a joke instead of being a serious moment of character development. Then the ending is a bunch of run-shoot-explode.

Thinking back on being a beginner, my problem wasn't that instructions were imprecise, but more that I didn't interpret "to taste" as a real instruction. It means I should fucking taste my food as I go, when at the time I would just taste it at the end.

So many bad meals can be avoided by sampling them over time and adjusting. I should know, having made too many.

I would classify this as an example of cooking logic (my own phrase) that needs to be learned. A lot of good recipes will assume the cook understands fundamental concepts like this, but it's not necessarily the recipe's job to teach you. Same as how IKEA assembly instructions might seem cryptic at first, but really boil down to using 3-4 different techniques to screw wood panels together. I do think there's a general lack of awareness that cooking has a separate logic, and this means a lot of people never teach it to others.
