Still relevant: [Wayback/Archive] The Twelve-Factor App and [Wayback/Archive] 12 Fractured Apps — Medium
Once Docker hit the scene the benefits of the 12 Factor App (12FA) really started to shine. For example, 12FA recommends that logging should be done to stdout and be treated as an event stream. Ever run the docker logs command? That’s 12FA in action!

A while ago, within a week time, I got reminded of a project I did some 15 years ago involving low-latency audio using the .NET platform on Windows XP Embedded.
For that I used the BASS.NET wrapper classes and P/Invoke methods around the Un4seen BASS Audio Library.
Back in those days there was not much documentation about this, but now there is more.
Some starting points are:

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.

[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

10 years ago, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend the [Wayback/Archive] GDG DevFest Netherlands 2014.
Until then, on the mobile front, I only had deep experience with the .NET Compact Framework, on the cloud framework I had no real experience: my experience were (sometimes huge) systems running in private data centers communicating with various protocols over SNA and TCP/IP (and way before that: UUCP and dial-up) and on the programming front my strengths were .NET and Delphi (with truckloads of scripting) and no experience in Go or Dart (Rust was invented a year later).
So I was really happy with the [Wayback/Archive] TL;DR Thank you! You’re awesome! Let’s do it again! • GDG DevFest Netherlands
I think this comment by Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on a
G+ post is one of the best complements we’ve got:
“Thanks for organizing this. It was a great conference! A great mix of things outside my comfort zone and things I could relate to from a very different perspective: wonderful and inspiring.”
G+ plus is gone, but this memory will last forever as this was a start widening my horizon learning about GDG like I knew about SDN*, Borland/Inprise/Codegear/Embarcadero DevRel and Microsoft DevRel.

This one is clear and concise. [Wayback/Archive] liburing/CONTRIBUTING.md at master · axboe/liburing · GitHub of which some highlights:
…
The main reasons for the rules are:
- Keep the code consistent
- Keep the git repository consistent
- Maintain bisectability
…
No fixup commits! Sometimes people post a change and errors are pointed out in the commit, and the author then does a followup fix for that error. This isn’t acceptable, please squash fixup commits into the commit that introduced the problem in the first place. This is done by amending the fix into the original commit that caused the issue. You can do that with git rebase -i and arrange the commit order such that the fixup is right after the original commit, and then use ‘s‘ (for squash) to squash the fixup into the original commit. Don’t forget to edit the commit message while doing that, as git will combine the two commit messages into one. Or you can do it manually. Once done, force push your rewritten git history. See reasons 1-3 in the introduction series for why that is.
…
A good commit explains the WHY of a commit – explain the reason for this commit to exist. Don’t explain what the code in commit does, that should be readily apparent from just reading the code. liburing commits follow the following format:

Some work to do replacing dead IETF RFC and draft links in my blog posts.
From the accepted answer on [Wayback/Archive.is] Links to HTML versions of RFC’s need to move from “tools” to “datatracker” – Meta Stack Exchange:
[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/[rfc/RFC] became https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc network-wide[http/https]://tools.ietf.org/html/draft- became https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-
>Both of these should conform to the reply we received from IETF.
