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

The sad thing about sunsetting useful resources is that usually a proper cleanup is not being performaned.
Take for instance QC: it died 7 years ago (Embarcadero QualityCentral is dead; man-decades of customer work down the drain) and is still mentioned in dozens of places including this prominent one: [Wayback/Archive] Finding information (IDE Tutorial) – RAD Studio.
This is just an example from a product I still love, so I know what is lost, but plenty of other companies forget they are the custodians of their own sites and leaving things rotting makes for a bad feeling of their overall behaviour.
It’s not hard to be not sloppy. Here are some 20+ more links to fix: [Wayback/Archive] “qc.embarcadero.com” site:embarcadero.com – Google Search
Note the next will be CodeCentral, which was annouced to get sunset 5 years ago:
People want to save this (see for instance [Wayback/Archive] EMBT: Code Central is going away – Tips / Blogs / Tutorials / Videos – Delphi-PRAXiS [en]), but regrettably companies aren’t going to do themselves it despite they owe it to their customers and their legacy.

LLM are just statistic text generators which depend on the texts they have been trained which and alleviating this usually makes things worse: [Wayback/Archive] AI generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect | Nature

Of course these issues are not limited to natural language LLM: artificial computer language LLM are also full of training issues that are likely very hard to resolve. What if covert organisations succeed poisoning LLM platforms with malicious code?
