Tekenencefalitis (TBE) | RIVM

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/02

[Wayback/Archive] Tekenencefalitis (TBE) | RIVM

Er is een vaccin dat voor 95% bescherming geeft. Mensen die lange tijd verblijven in gebieden waar tekenencefalitis veel voorkomt, kunnen zich laten vaccineren. Dit wordt bijvoorbeeld aangeraden voor verblijf in delen van Midden- en Oost-Europa. Op de website van de Landelijke Coördinatie Reizigersadvisering staat vermeld in welke landen/gebieden vaccinatie geadviseerd wordt. Vooralsnog is er geen reden om in Nederland te vaccineren.
Ook het zo snel mogelijk verwijderen van een teek verkleint de kans op infectie, hoewel het virus al snel na de beet wordt overgebracht. Een snelle verwijdering kan deze ziekte dus niet altijd voorkomen, maar verkleint ook de kans op andere ziekten die door teken overgebracht kunnen worden, zoals de ziekte van Lyme. Tekenbeten kunnen voorkomen worden door beschermende kleding te dragen en de onbedekte huid in te smeren met een middel dat DEET (diethyltoluamide) diethyltoluamide bevat. Deze maatregelen geven geen 100% bescherming, waardoor tekenbeetcontrole altijd nodig is na verblijf in het groen. Het is belangrijk om een teek zo snel mogelijk te verwijderen. Op de pagina Verwijderen van een teek lees je hoe je dit het best kunt doen.

I wonder if east-west facing vertical bi-facial solar panels are now more used often as they are just as efficient as south facing standard units

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/02

Two years back there was the below quoted interesting German twitter thread.

Hopefully by now more bi-facial installations are used as they are just as efficient but take up less ground space.

There are now two maximum peaks in the morning and evening, which makes them relatively more productive outside the summer periods thereby more evenly spreading energy production over the year.

I think that last bit is especially important.

With the newest PowerToys version, the Microsoft teams shows they forgot about their CUA heritage

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/30

The most recent Microsoft Power Toys version binds to Alt + Spacebar which indicates the Windows team has forgotten about the CUA (Common User Access) heritage.

[Wayback/Archive] PowerToys bring fun tweaks to Windows 10 and 11 • The Register

And that tells us something else, too: that none of the Microsoft developers involved in building and releasing this tool are old-style keyboard warriors, because since Windows 1.0 in 1985, Alt+space has been the keystroke to invoke the window-management menu. From Windows 2 onwards, the leftmost button on every Windows title bar even looked like a space bar, to remind you. So to maximize a window, it’s Alt+space, x; to minimize, Alt+space, n; to resize with the keyboard, Alt+space, s, and so on.

Learning from others: how they use diagrams and notes while debugging (via b0rk – Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/30

A while ago there was this interesting question [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “do you draw diagrams on paper when debugging? what do they look like? I’d love to see examples if anyone is willing to share” that sparked quite a few diagrams I am still learning from.

Some thumbnails are below, but be sure to read them in the responses to the above tweet in full.

Cool nginx playground by b0rk (Julia Evans)

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/28

This is a really cool interactive [Wayback/Archive] nginx playground!

It starts with a default nginx configuration which you can edit and spins up a docker container for each run showing the results of that configuration.

How cool is that to learn how nginx works (:

This is how I found out about it:

Revisited: Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):

An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the void operator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:

javascript:(function(){
  //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();

It means they now have become these:

  • Archive.is: navigate canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();

  • Archive.is: prompt canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();

Belastingaangifte 2023 met Excel gratis downloaden | Computer Idee

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

Dit jaar was ik er een paar dagen eerder bij dan vorig jaar: meer rust in mijn hoofd na de verhuizing en een betere planning gemaakt rondom de paardrijvakantie van mijn verstandelijk beperkte broer (waar we altijd zorgen daar in de buurt te zijn zodat we indien nodig snel ter plaatse kunnen handelen).

Waarom is deze blog post zo laat?

Het laat heeft er vooral mee te maken dat deze Excel sheet meestal nog een aantal wijzigingen krijgt na de normale deadline van 1 mei. Dus ik begin pas met downloaden de maand voor de echt harde deadline van 1 september.

Waarom dan toch nu de post?

Eigenlijk is dat heel simpel: vooral zodat je kunt zien hoe je aan deze informatie komt ook al wijzigen de locaties: waar vorig jaar het Excel-bestand voor de belastingaangifte nog bij Google stond, staat het deze keer bij WeTransfer.

Dit jaar zijn de linkjes her en der dus behoorlijk anders: meer dan een simpele vervanging van 2022 door 2023 in de start-link van de eerste Google Search onderaan mijn blog-post.

Let ook op (dit vergat ik vorig jaar te vermelden): dit Excel bestand werkt bij mij niet op Office voor MacOS.

Omdat Computer Idee meestal geen jaartallen in de titels van hun artikelen gebruikt, moet je handmatig de zoekresultaten van Google Search door om te zien welke relevant voor aangifte over afgelopen jaar (in dit geval 2023) is/zijn. Vandaar dat ik hieronder op een aantal plekken jaartellen heb toegevoegd:

With the ever increasing heatwaves all around the world: important PDF. Print it. Have it with you. Even better: read it before and prepare! “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20” @Walrathis

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/26

This is a reminder of a tweet I posted two years back: [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “With the current heatwaves all around the world: important PDF. Print it. Have it with you. Even better: read it before and prepare! “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20”  CC @Walrathis”

Climate change makes the weather expres happen more often and more prominently.

This means in the summer more heat waves.

Be prepared, so download and print this booklet: [Wayback] 54_HIP Pocket Guide.pdf titled “Heat Illness Prevention Pocket Guide Approved for public release, distribution unlimited TA-010-JAN20”.

It is from the USA army. They know this shit well.

I got the link from [Wayback/Archive] ReverseSlope on Twitter: “@jpluimers @J_Green_505 @GameOverMike @MDArcheologist @KristeninAlmo @diggingellen @OSHA This is a good summation. …”

Via [Wayback/Archive] Either Ellen or Dr. Chapman on Twitter: “Kaylen Gehrke, a 24 year old archaeologist on her first day on the job, died of a heat related medical emergency in Louisiana yesterday. Thinking back to past heat illness of myself and others and the varying responses from supervisors. So sorry for her, her family, and friends.”
