[Wayback/Archive] Nieuwe wet maakt van iedere zzper in de zorg een zorgaanbieder
Als je de kwaliteitscheck van de Inspectie doorloopt, dan merk je dat als zzper aan een aantal eisen te voldoen hebt. Of je nu als onderaannemer werkzaam bent of voor eigen cliënten, er worden een aantal zaken van je verlangd. Een indruk van de eisen vind je hier. ZZP-erindezorg.nl heeft het Wtza abonnement bedacht om te kunnen voldoen aan de eisen. Voor € 10 per maand breng jij je basis op orde en heb je een volledig pakket waarmee je aan de Wtza kunt voldoen. ZZP-erindezorg.nl is tot op heden de enige aanbieder die alle eisen rondom de Wtza heeft samengebracht.

Weercode Oranje: soms kan de (semi)overheid wel goed communiceren
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/16
Zoals onder meer opgemerkt door [Wayback/Archive] Femke on Twitter: “Omg kijk de overheid eens goed communiceren! 😍 @Walrathis”, namelijk de Tweet gisteravond van het KNMI met een goed plaatje en een link met wat je kunt doen bij code GEEL, ORANJE en ROOD:
[Wayback/Archive] KNMI on Twitter: “Vanavond geldt #codeoranje in de kustprovincies. Wat kun je verwachten en wat kun je doen bij #gladheid door ijzel?

Solved: trouble trying to create a new Microsoft Account looping back to the image/audio puzzle after solving it. Solution: use Firefox.
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/15
So I wrote a [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App as I got stuck even before trying to add a Microsoft Account on any on m’y devices Windows 11 or Windows 10. It started with
[Wayback/Archive] Hi @MicrosoftHelps, I have a different problem. When creating an account using Edge on Windows 10 (latest version of both; no plugins; Microsoft Defender in default settings), solving the puzzle loops back to “Please solve the puzzle so we know you’re not a robot.”
The odd thing is that it did not work in either Edge or Chrome (both based on Chromium which uses the Blink browser engine) even in the anonymous/private browsing mode (InPrivate for Edge or Incognito Mode for Chrome).
Even Firefox had trouble, despite it being based on a totally different Gecko browser engine: after solving the puzzle it would continue but instead of displaying success, it showed an error page (the error page also occurred in the Firefox Private Browsing mode):

xahteiwi.eu – Meaningless Metrics, Treacherous Targets
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/15
Food for thought:
[Wayback] xahteiwi.eu – Meaningless Metrics, Treacherous Targets
A common feature of organizations in the software technology industry (but certainly not only in that industry) is their fixation on metrics, measurements, and quantifiers. I understand that this is frequently done and advocated for in the spirit of making management more objective, less arbitrary, more scientific, and perhaps fairer. But since they say that the road to hell is often paved with good intentions, here’s a quick summary of what we know about about the undesirable side effects of such an approach.
Basically, when the metric becomes the goal, it will not reliably measure the underlying figures any more.
By [Archive] Florian Haas on Twitter: “I wrote something long-ish on metrics over the weekend. I’m pretty certain this won’t go unchallenged, as people tend to have strong opinions on this. 🙂 “.
Via [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “In writing this, @xahteiwi had probably done more for the advancement of SRE as a practice than one hundred conference talks could do. Thanks for that.… “.

An interesting thought: [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Basically, show me a Python regex with \d and without ASCII flag, and I can show you a bug, often exploitable.… “
Basically, input parsing is still very much underrated by most systems and a constant source of peculiarities and therefore bugs, or phrased differently: [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “In many cases an uncaught exception, and hence a component crash.… “
Kris also states [Archive] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Again, Python is not alone in this. Perl, when “use utf8;” is active (which it should) also does this, so every single fucking Regex needs a ‘/a‘ at the end. Nobody ever asked \d to match tengwar or klingon numeric symbols.… “.
The point is in the last few words as Arabic numerals are so white spread over the world that the ten digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9 they represent should be the de facto \d pattern, but aren’t in Python as per [Wayback/Archive] re — Regular expression operations — Python 3.10.0 documentation: /d (emphasis mine):

Task Manager themed dark on dark in Windows 11 version 22H2 is a known issue (thanks @jenmsft)
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/13
A known Windows Insider bug has entered the Windows 11 release: Task Manager will show wrong colours (on my stock Dell Windows 11 installs, see below, it will be dark on dark) under certain custom Windows colour settings (“Choose your mode” set to “Custom”).
Edit 20221214: it got fixed
OS Build 22621.963 [Wayback/A] KB5021255 fixed this on Patch Tuesday (which arrived on my machines later than my original publication), see [Wayback/Archive] December 13, 2022—KB5021255 (OS Build 22621.963) – Microsoft Support

Thinking about you today Paweł
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/13
Today it is 5 years ago that Paweł passed away. For me it is hard to believe that I’m still around and this post feels like yesterday: R.I.P. Paweł Głowacki – you will be dearly missed, not just in the Delphi community
Thinking about you today Paweł!

Windows software glyph inputs: on-screen keyboard,
Posted by jpluimers on 2022/12/09
- OSK.exe (on-screen keyboard) has been available for a very long time; it’s just a basic software keyboard (with optional numeric keypad)
- Emoji input (
Windows+.orWindows+;) - Touch keyboard is part of the Notification Area (often called Icon Tray), has various layouts including a “handwriting recognition” one
- It can be started automatically when you do not have a keyboard attached.
Note that Charmap.exe cannot select and copy Emoji, but it can do accented charcters.
Alternatively, you can install an international keyboard layout, but I have found out the hard way that fails in some combinations or remoting tools (sometimes including RDP).
I tried starting the Touch Keyboard through other means (like tabtip.exe), but those failed on the Windows 10 machines I tried.

press Windows+B to put focus into the notification area. After that change the focus to the keyboard button (with arrow keys) and press Enter

But nowadays to enter emojis and such just press Windows+. or Windows+;

The touch keyboard, however, has a large section of common Unicode characters to choose from. You can also press WIN+Period(.) and select from symbols there… “
- [Archive.is] Jeroen Pluimers on Twitter: “Various sources mention that the Touch Keyboard is started by running TabTip.exe, but that does nothing.
