  • We need a better funding model for open source.

    Praying that people will donate enough to support your browser isn’t exactly great and really doesn’t work for most open-source projects.

    Unless they are doing something new in that space, it’ll just he smooching up to big donors in back rooms.

    At least Firefox is open about their deal with Google.


  • I’ve had… thoughts on this lately.

    I do social dance (wcs) as one of my several hobbies. And I kind of compare ot to church now. We go once a week, we do the thing, and we have a community around it, with community leaders.

    The world might be slowly leaving religion behind, but I have to wonder of we’re losing something else in the process.

    (Find some WCA classes in your area, we’re all weird as fuck, it’s a often a community of introverts with a niche interest in common, and set rules of interaction (would you like a dance?))


  • 1 or 3; maybe 4.

    With several assumptions made, ultimately, they’re asking for json, and we should still return json, but what that looks like is up to you. It should be static enough that the person on the other end can write:

    If json.grtnode(error) == "unauthorized access"
    Do stuff
    

    Ifnyour going to be changing the text with some regularity to contain relevant information for the error (eg, an item ID, that is now invalid), then consider a code/text and additional fields.



  • It’s a simple question, but with a complex answer that I’m not sure I have the tools and knowledge to answer.

    But I’ll try.

    The answer has multiple layers, on the surface, yes, the “Aryan ideal” was what they strove for, and the picture they put forward was blonde hair and blue eyes. On the surface, it was purely cosmetic, you had those features you were probably the Aryan ideal.

    But that wouldn’t mean they would take an American prisoner who met those ideals and ship him off to the breeding center to help pump out perfect babies. Because they were inpure.

    In another layer, in reality even, the “Aryan ideal” was used like a tool. You were pure if you stayed in line and supported the cause, and the threat of being found not pure was used to keep people in line. The threat of the secret police, was the threat of them turning up to whisk you, or your loved ones, away, at even the merest hint of dissidence.

    By the end of the war, everyone knew someone who knew someone who had at least been questioned, if not disapeared.
