After the war he lived four years in the same small village as my grandmom, breeding chicken and working in the woods until he saved enough money for his escape to Argentina. He supposedly even sold his eggs to the Jewish survivor community of the closeby concentration camp Bergen-Belsen.
There were definitely some interactions but of course Eichmann tried to keep social activities to a minimum just so much that he didn't give rise to any suspicion.
I assume that people don't want to talk to reporters because of the bad image cast on them. I mean having a mass murderer in your community and not identifying him people may think that you're either dumb or you were actively ignoring it. After the war people mostly tried to forget about the Nazis as a coping mechanism for their common guilt.
This is one thing in Germany that makes me feel like I’m living in the Matrix:
You think you’ve learned about World War II and the Nazis in school. You think the lessons are all to clear. But then you read Sebastian Haffner’s “Geschichte eines Deutschen“, or Stefan Zweig‘s „Die Welt von Gestern“. And you look around. And you recognize those very same characters. The Eichmanns. The SA henchmen. People who would probably be very happy in that regime, even though they have no idea that they would - because what they’ve learned about it is a very different story. A fairytale almost.
I once had to develop something similar. The solution my company had chosen was to transmit the weights and possible errors via a Websocket connection between the UI and the scale adapter - a small Java service doing the raw socket communication.
Weirdly the commands to stop weighing and set tare, get tare, etc. would be send via RabbitMQ from the UI server to the adapter instead of using the WS connection.
Yeah I have gotten some reports that dark mode plugins could mess up the board. If you can turn it off for specific websites, I suggest doing that, and rather use the dark mode on chessguessr.com.
> Lichess will not remove Russian or Belarusian flags from user profiles. Russia and Belarus exist as countries, and removing their flag does not change that. There are also many Russians and Belarusians who disagree with the war and are protesting it, whose bravery we respect, but by nationality still identify as Russian and Belarusian.
In these days I think deliberately displaying the Russian flag on one's profile has to be interpreted as supporting Russia's government.
Regarding "Russia and Belarus exist as countries, and removing their flag does not change that" - no one wants to remove Russia nor Belarus as countries but Russia wants to do so with Ukraine with the help of Belarus.
I also would have wished for Lichess to communicate their stance more quickly.
Google or-tools are quite fun although a little bit of a pain to setup and get started at least if you want to use the JVM and support different OS.
Just to share a little anecdote about my use case: The department I work in consists of about 40 developers and once a year we had a day together just to form new teams in a self organized manner. Management wanted about one third of a team to move to a different team to spread and gather knowledge but completely backed off during that day.
We had a special coach and scrum masters supporting us but still it was very exhausting and a lot of the developers didn't like it. The devs that showed motivation to change teams were more or less forced to go to the teams which were disliked the most (either because of their domain or the already present members).
So in the end there was not much rotation and the whole thing was quite expensive so that this year it was cancelled. That's when I started to use Google or-Tools to write a little tool that suggests teams based on some constraints like size, at least one experienced dev / software architect per team and an optimization function based on preferences of each dev for a certain domain as well as their sympathy towards other devs
When I announced it it got almost no attention and was dismissed as "inhuman".
