Het blijft hartverscheurend: [Wayback/Archive] Opinie | Bosrandgeluk – NRC
Als we door een bos rijden, zegt ze opeens: „Als je straks ophoudt met werken, wil ik met jou in een huisje aan de bosrand wonen, met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje.”Ik brom instemmend.Na een poosje keren we terug.Zij (83) naar het verpleeghuis.Ik (89) naar het huisje aan de bosrand met een tuin, een moestuintje en een weitje, waar we ruim dertig jaar heel erg gelukkig waren.W. van der Heijden

Some ADSB sites use Aircraft Registration in their tracking URLs and others use the hexadecimal representation ICAO 24-bit call signs.
Some links for my archive with some help from [Wayback/Archive] Rens – Chemtrail Squadron Officer (@HelemaalRens) / Twitter:
- All modern aircraft are assigned a unique ICAO 24-bit address (also known as Mode-S ‘hex code’) since 2007 based on registration allocated by the relevant civil aviation authority.
- Aircraft de-registered prior to 2007 should not be expected to have a 24-bit address allocated.

Some 7 years ago, I missed the [Wayback/Archive] Technic 40 year anniversary model | Brickset: LEGO set guide and database.
Hopefully by now I have had time to get the various underlying boxes and build it, together with reviving the 8860 I still have from my child-hood time.
Pictures from Brickset:

Using generative AI for your work can very likely result into your work not being copyrightable, at least in the USA: [Wayback/Archive] Famous AI Artist Says He’s Losing Millions of Dollars From People Stealing His Work
The guy who used Midjourney to create an award-winning piece of AI art demands copyright protections.
…
Now, in an ironic twist, Allen is upset that his work—which was created via a platform that’s been accused of ripping off countless copyrighted works—cannot, itself, be copyrighted, and is thus getting ripped off. In March of last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that work derived from AI platforms “contained no human authorship” and therefore could not be extended copyright protections. Allen has been trying, since late 2022, to register his painting as a copyrighted work.

Lot’s of interesting tech blogs: [Wayback/Archive] Florian Haas on Twitter: “Let’s do something we should do every once in a while: if you have a personal web site with an RSS or Atom feed, drop it in the replies so people can add it to their feed aggregator. Signal boosts appreciated.”

[Wayback/Archive] GitHub – src-d/hercules: Gaining advanced insights from Git repository history.
This project, with the command-line tools hercules and labours is on my research list as it can get pretty good long-term insights on project health (the tool is programming language independent).
Especially the half-life of code is a good measurement, as well as the existence of code bursts (hello major version increments!).
This research part is important: [Wayback/Archive] Change Bursts as Defect Predictors – Publications – Software Engineering Chair (Prof. Zeller), by Nachiappan Nagappan, Andreas Zeller, Thomas Zimmermann, Kim Herzig, Brendan Murphy

I totally missed this back in 2019 when having the first belly surgery (that eventually would lead up into discovering I had already had rectum cancer at that time) [Wayback/Archive] How to Weaponize the Yubikey – Black Hills Information Security.
Luckily I got a reminder: [Wayback/Archive] jilles.com on Twitter: “/me the asshole that spoils the magic trick …” after [Wayback/Archive] yan on Twitter: “who’s excited for defcon next week”

About 2 years after Google switched every Google Hangouts user over to Google Chat, I still wonder about [Wayback/Archive] Will the new Google Chat PWA for Chrome ever have system tray support? : gsuite:
Chrome _right now_ can be sustained as a background process with the Chrome-ball in the system tray. This is the vehicle with which Hangouts remains open at all time, so why not Chat, too?
I’m left with no option but to have Chat running on a mobile device so I have always on access. Perhaps this is the angle. I nunno.
Your support page link I’ve seen already and it doesn’t answer the Why question.
It is absolutely a bizzarotown implementation.
