So probably a great news source for Lemmy.ml!

While I think calling the Israeli government “Nazis” is a simplification and kind of weakens the meaning of the word Nazi, I absolutely agree with you.

Despite all the culture of remembrance, despite all the memorials and despite all the history lessons, the general public is simply not aware of how efficiently, ruthlessly and industrially the Nazis carried out the Holocaust.

At its peak, in Operation Reinhard, from April to November 1942, 2.5 million Jews were murdered. 10,000 every day. In specially built camps to which people were transported by rail and sent directly to the gas chambers, where there was practically no chance of survival. In Majdanek, over 18,000 people were murdered in 9 hours. By 1945, two thirds of European Jews had been murdered and in the end only the advance of the Allies prevented the rest from being murdered as well.

This is the much-vaunted singularity of the Holocaust, namely the systematic, industrial murder in special murder factories. This industrial rate of murder is unique in the long history of genocides. Stalin’s camps were cruel, but they were not extermination camps with gas chambers. This also applies to other genocides.

So if you honestly compare the Gaza War with the Holocaust, you quickly realize that it is something completely different. And anyone who seriously equates the two is trivializing the Holocaust to an extent that almost borders on Holocaust denial. This is guaranteed to lead someone here to call me a “genocide denier”, but: if Israel acted like the Nazis in the Gaza Strip, all the women and children would be dead by now and a few last surviving men would be maltreated to death as work slaves. And yes, we all know why Israel of all places is constantly compared to the Holocaust, even though there is no factual basis.

*automatically translated from a feddit.org user I very much agree with. Not citing the account to not disclose them to save them from brigading.

feddit.de went offline and feddit.org was built as an alternative not so long ago. So 11 month is probably as old as an account can get on feddit.org.

I think F-Droid apps usually take some days longer as they build the app by themselves

You overestimate the Lemmy US userbase. Only because we speak English doesn’t mean we’re all from the US. Language-based instances like feddit.org for example may be small, but its users engage in the whole lemmyverse.

Never heard about a Ross store, what’s that?

I quickly went over your comment history of the last 30 days and you have almost no downvotes. You are a wholesome person and I’m glad you are here!

Sir, I will make sure to never bother you with a PR and my terrible, terrible code ;)

This is what I would come up with:

try:
    if len(foo) == 0:
    ...
except TypeError:
    ...

There is no need to add a None check, as foo being None should be considered as a faulty input. Avoiding the possibility of foo being None from the beginning using static checks or testing is of course the preferred solution. But in reality we do not work in such optimal environments, at least I can say that from the perspective of data science, where often procedural, untested code is produced that runs only a few times. But I get your point and I think both paths are viable, but I am also okay with being in the wrong here,

I am not saying it’s better, just that I don’t like the proposed way :) I would argue that being “pythonic” has even less value than the Zen, which I quoted because it’s true, not because it is some strict rule (which it isn’t anyway).

You could argue I also need to write that extra code for the if not case, as I explicitly have to check if it is None if my program somewhere further down expects only lists.

Hunting for those sweet milliseconds is a popular game in the Python community ;) if this mechanism is that important for your program, you should definitely use it, I would do as well!

But None has no len

if not foo:  

-> foo could be an empty list or None, it is ambiguous.

len(foo) will lead to an exception TypeError if foo is None, I can cleanly catch that.

It suggests I deal with a boolean when that is not the case. Explicit is better than implicit, and if not foo to check for an empty list may be pythonic, but it’s still implicit af

I don’t like it very much, my variable could also be None here

Absolutely agree. I just use it for some simple stuff like “every nth row in a pandas dataframe slice a string from x to y if column z is True” or something like that. These logics take time to write, and GPT usually comes up with a right solution or one that doesn’t need a lot of modification.

But debugging or analyzing an error? No thanks

Why is the European Space Agency speaking up to this topic

Instances that disagree with being found in search engines are not shown. Instance admins can configure their robots.txt by adding lemmy-search. All other instances can theoretically be found. I think their priority depends on the laws of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This probably means that a post on myownlemmy1337 that is federated with lemmy.world, will be found as a post on lemmy.world.

So, if Lemmy was very famouse, I guess it’s possible to get pages over pages with the same result from different instances. However search engines usually have a way to exclude “similar” results.

For voyager it may be possible, they do not want to be found, I don’t know about this though. You could add site:vger.app to your search prompt for testing this.

It seems like the other two tools only report about 49k MAU, any idea why?

True, I was looking from the perspective of lemmy. But I think that’s fair, as the fediverse is not as federated as it pretends to be. For Lemmy it’s about 1,000 servers. I guess many of them are singles person instances, but that comes from my subjective feeling and can be bullshit ;)
