Paper: [Wayback/Archive] The circadian immune system
Abstract
The immune system is highly time-of-day dependent. Pioneering studies in the 1960s were the first to identify immune responses to be under a circadian control. Only in the last decade, however, have the molecular factors governing circadian immune rhythms been identified. These studies have revealed a highly complex picture of the interconnectivity of rhythmicity within immune cells with that of their environment. Here, we provide a global overview of the circadian immune system, focusing on recent advances in the rapidly expanding field of circadian immunology.

Just a few weeks left:
[Archive] Lex Tabak on Twitter: “Vanaf 1 januari 2022 word iedere zzp’er in de zorg gezien als zorgaanbieder, ook als je als onderaannemer werkzaam bent.”
[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.

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?

I had trouble creating a Microsoft Account (so I could hand out on-line Office Licenses to users) where each time after solving the image or audio puzzle, it would shortly display a success, then loop back to the puzzle.
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):

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):

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”).
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
