Cool technology:
[Wayback/Archive] maartensukel/example-textual-classification-citizen-reports: Example of a simple textual classification using TF-IDF and LR.
The classification is done by using a TF-IDF (Term Freuqency – Inversed document frequency) as representation for the text and a logistic regression to classify the text. Optimal hyperparameters for the dataset are found using a gridsearch.

The source is based on Python Pandas and sci-kit learn (also known as sklearn).

More than a decade ago I wrote about Programmatic alternatives to Windows-L keyboard shortcut (SwitchUser / LockWorkstation).
Still, I see many scripts invoke rundll32.exe or to call the [Wayback/Archive] LockWorkStation function (winuser.h) inside user32.dll. Don’t!
The BOOL LockWorkStation()function has a calling convention that is incompatible with rundll32.exe () which will corrupt the call stack likely will lead to random problems as after two decades, this post from Raymond Chen still holds: [Wayback/Archive] What can go wrong when you mismatch the calling convention? – The Old New Thing

Since I had only one read-only account and the Fierit ECD system won’t sent me update notifications on that account, I have collected some links before actually doing deeper investigation to see how to build a push notification system around it.
Link dump:

I made [Wayback/Archive] Rebecca Skinner on Twitter: “Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming with ADHD.” stronger in the post title, as I have been a proponent of stronger typed environments for all my programming life.
Yes, (unit) tests and tooling can alleviate this in part for more weakly typed languages but lots of people forget (or “forget”) putting these in place.
So please please: make your development environment as strictly typed as possible.
Not just your ADHD colleagues will applaud you for this, but your future self will as well.

[Wayback/Archive] FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞 werd in 2024 gelanceerd vlak voor de Women’s History Month en Internationale Vrouwendag door Felienne Hermans.
Felienne is bekend van bijvoorbeeld haar promotieonderzoek naar de impact van Excel op de samenleving, maar vooral van haar drive te onderzoeken hoe zo veel mogelijk mensen – ongeacht hun achtergrond – kunnen leren programmeren), Joy of Coding, de Hedy programmeertaal (met veel support voor andere alfabetten dan wat we in de westerse wereld gebruiken) en haar boek The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition.
Ze is enorm goed in haar werk, en komt daarmee regelmatig in aanraking met vooringenomenheid over vrouwen. Daar verbaast ze zich terecht over, en ook dat het lastig om content (op allerlei soorten gebieden) te consumeren gemaakt door vrouwen. Dat overkwam haar bijvoorbeeld bij het luisteren naar muziek op de Nederlandse radio: daar kwamen veel meer mannelijke artiesten aan bod dan vrouwelijke.
Vandaar FemFM, en Felienne zou Felienne niet zijn als de source code niet openbaar was, dus hier wat linkjes:

[Wayback/Archive] Skip line while debugging in Chrome developer tools – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Matas Vaitkevicius for both asking and answering):
Last comment from dev says:
We’re going to hold off on this feature for now. It’s complexity is high and it’s not common enough a workflow. One could also just comment out the lines and hit ctrl-s to get the same effect, pretty much. Status: WontFix –
The workaround is to comment out the line you want to skip and press Ctrl+S.
The problem is that the workaround fails when you have used the Chrome Dev Tools to format the source code: then you cannot edit the formatted code.
The workaround for that is cumbersome, but doable as in this bug report:
