Al jaren wordt in een keur aan rapporten gewaarschuwd dat de Nederlandse voelhorens in de wereld zijn verzwakt. Die verslapping is niet alleen het resultaat van bezuinigingen, maar ook van luiheid.

🎯 “De positie van Nederland als voorvechter van dat recht, met Den Haag als thuishaven van internationale gerechtshoven, wordt versterkt. Heel goed, maar de reputatie van Nederland heeft op dit vlak door Gaza een zware knauw gekregen. Hoe kun je het Russisch geweld in woord en daad veroordelen en tegelijk nauwelijks in actie komen als Israël straffeloos Palestijnen doodt?”.

Midden in de voormalige Zuiderzee lag ooit Schokland, een langgerekt eiland dat eeuwenlang werd gevormd en bedreigd door het water. Ondanks de voortdurende overstromingen en het terugwijken van het land bleven bewoners er generaties lang wonen, vaak onder moeilijke omstandigheden. De nieuwe televisieserie Heimwee naar Schokland belicht deze geschiedenis vanuit het perspectief van de Schokkers zelf.

Au Conseil d’État et au Conseil constitutionnel, des juges « en tête-à-tête avec l’exécutif » et sourds aux « nouveaux enjeux »

Dans « Des juges bien trop sages. Qui protège encore nos libertés ? », la juriste Stéphanie Hennette-Vauchez et le sociologue Antoine Vauchez livrent une enquête sur l’affaiblissement de deux des institutions les plus centrales de la Ve République.

1/2 Abstracts from scholarly papers need to be open information and thus deposited by publishers in Crossref @crossref for any other system to use. Many big publishers still do not do this (osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv/smx…, page 10). But the situation is better than in 2020 (crossref.org/blog/open-abstrac…).

Open Abstracts: Where are we? - Crossref

The Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA) launched this week. The initiative calls on scholarly publishers to make the abstracts of their publications openly available.

2/2 @crossref Wiley, IOP, Frontiers, @PLOS , AIP and even WoltersKluwer that had zero abstracts in Crossref in 2020 are now depositing these openly. But Elsevier, ACS, IEEE, Taylor & Francis. APA, ASCE and (most of) SpringerNature are still not doing this. Authors: ask editors about this, it will boost your paper's visibility. Libraries: demand this in negotiations. It will make scholarly communication for effective.
Scatter graph of publishers, with log number of their articles on the y-axis and percentage of articles with open abstracts in Crossref in the x-axis. There's clearly two groups: publishers between 90-100% and publishers with 0%. Some publishers are also somewhere in between 40-80%.

Ceasefire not delivering on its promises across Gaza

Israel is not abiding by the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

At least 600 trucks should be entering the Gaza Strip every day, but what is entering is very little.

Cooking gas is only at 16 percent of what is needed; there is a shortage of shelters, tents, tarps and everything Palestinians need to shelter from the rain.

We see Palestinians collecting wood, cartons and anything they can light a fire with.

Filmclub 🎥 | In 'Favoriten' volgen we een Weense schoolklas waarin kinderen van kledingmakers, pizzabakkers en bouwvakkers samen leren, lachen en worstelen met de taal. Ruth Beckermann laat zien hoe broos, maar ook hoe hoopvol de klas van juf Ilkay is – een miniatuur van het moderne Oostenrijk.

image is a meme. A squirtle from pokemon in pointed sunglasses with an open mouth from the original pokemon cartoon is standing in an action pose against a dramatic yellow, white, and red streaky background. Over the squirtles head in white text with a black background reads "THE UNITED STATES HAS ALWAYS BEEN FASCIST, LIBERAL" and below in the same text reads "IT'S JUST FINALLY SPILLING OVER TO THE WHITE MIDDLE CLASS"

so far biggest difference i can tell between the air fun 4 and the tozo nc3 is uh

the air funs have better ux, and the pass-through is a little nicer.

the gap between top and bottom end bluetooths is really short these days.

Under the hood update!

I’ve finally retired the old cron + sh setup for the weather bots. It served us well, but it had a major flaw: if I rebooted the server while it was posting, the job just died halfway. If the server was down during a scheduled slot, the forecast was lost forever.

So, I wrote a custom Python daemon to run inside the FreeBSD Jails.


  • It’s stateful now. If a crash happens at city 15 of 50, it resumes exactly there on reboot.
  • If the server naps/is rebooting during a scheduled run, the bot realizes it missed a slot and runs immediately upon waking up.
