I wish this were ironic, but it's not. The article itself has intelligent-sounding sentences, which a Web search shows up on other sites. The publisher claims to have a "strict plagiarism policy"…which I'm realizing can be read two different ways.

Rewriting the Ruby parser
At Shopify, we have spent the last year writing a new Ruby parser, which we’ve called YARP (Yet Another Ruby Parser). As of the date of this post, YARP can parse a semantically equivalent syntax tree to Ruby 3.3 on every Ruby file in Shopify’s main codebase, GitHub’s main codebase, CRuby, and the 100 most popular gems downloaded from rubygems.org. We recently got approval to merge this work into CRuby, and are very excited to share our work with the community. This post will take you thro…

Kwart kiezers is vertrouwen kwijt in alle politieke partijen: 'Neem ze niet meer serieus'
Een kwart van de kiezers is het vertrouwen in alle politieke partijen kwijt. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van het RTL Nieuwspanel. Het gevoel leeft zeer sterk bij kiezers die bij de laatste Tweede Kamerverkiezingen in 2023 nog op Nieuw Sociaal Contract stemden (32 procent), maar ook bij mensen die toen voor de BBB (28 procent) of PVV (26 procent) kozen.

Discovery and dynamics of a Sedna-like object with a perihelion of 66 au
Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with large perihelion distances ($q > 60$ au) and semi-major axes ($a > 200$ au) provide insights into the early evolution of the solar system and the existence of a hypothetical distant planet. These objects are still rare and their detection is challenging, yet they play a crucial role in constraining models of solar system formation. Here we report the discovery of a Sedna-like TNO, 2023\,KQ$_{14}$, nicknamed `Ammonite', with $q = 66$ au, $a = 252$ au, and incl…

Minder immigratie in 2024, vooral minder kennismigranten
In 2024 kwamen 316 duizend immigranten naar Nederland. Dat waren er 19 duizend minder dan het jaar ervoor. Zowel de immigratie uit EU-landen als uit overige landen was lager dan in 2023, het aantal immigranten met de Nederlandse nationaliteit bleef gelijk. Vooral het aantal kennismigranten dat van buiten de EU naar Nederland kwam daalde. Dat meldt het CBS op basis van recente cijfers.

Statistical analysis of interplanetary shock waves measured by a Solar Wind Analyzer and a magnetometer onboard the Solar Orbiter Mission in 2023
Interplanetary (IP) shock waves are greatly interesting, as they represent significant phenomena in near-Earth space and are direct drivers of geomagnetic and radiation storms. Moreover, various data and parameters are being explored for the identification and characterization of these waves. The spatial dimensions of shock waves vary significantly with the conditions and parameters of the propagating medium. For example, the radii of curvature of the shock wave fronts can vary by several hundr…

Can fractal dimension distinguish between grand-design and flocculent spiral arms?
About two-thirds of disk galaxies host spiral arms, ranging from well-delineated grand-design spirals to fragmented flocculent spiral galaxies. We introduce fractal dimension $D_B$ as a non-parametric measure to distinguish between grand-designs and flocculents. We calculate the $D_B$ of 197 grand-designs and 322 flocculents from SDSS DR18, using the samples of \citet{Buta..2015} and \citet{Sarkar..2023}. Our calculated median values of $D_B$ are $1.29^{+0.06}_{-0.04}$ and $1.38^{+0.05}_{-0.06}…

Wide-field Polarization Imaging and Numerical Modeling of the Coma and Tail of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Imaging polarimetry is a well-known method for analysing the structure and composition of cometary dust. Accordingly, comets are classified based on the phase angle dependent degree of linear polarization of their comae. The goal of this study is to examine the size and structure of the dust grains in the coma and in particular in the tail of the bright comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) and to infer possible variations. For this purpose, we rely on the method of telescopic wide-field polarime…

We propose utilizing match-level suspense and surprise - which capture the entertainment utility created by competitive balance and outcome uncertainty for sports spectators - as alternative policy targets for league organizers and managers. Through simulations, we derive a benchmark range for suspense and surprise based on a perfectly balanced match before analyzing over 25,000 men's matches (2010/11-2023/24) and 725 women's matches (2023/24) from Europe's top football leagues.

BBC bias on Israel
From Jonathan Cook. (Substack link, sorry.)
"In a confrontation with BBC news chief Richard Burgess, journalist Peter Oborne sets out six ways the state broadcaster has wilfully misled audiences on Israel's destruction of Gaza"
For example,
"... the distinguished Israeli historian Avi Shlaim lives in the UK and teaches at Oxford University. ... Shlaim is both knowledgeable about the history of Israeli colonisation of Palestine and truly independent. He is in a position to dispassionately provide the context BBC audiences need to make judgments about what is going on and who is responsible for it.
"And yet extraordinarily, Shlaim has never been invited on by the BBC. ... He is one of the prominent Israelis we are never allowed to hear from, because they are likely to make more credible and mainstream a narrative the BBC wishes to present as fringe, loopy and antisemitic."
Plus some media analysis stats such as:
"The BBC mentioned “occupation” – the essential context for understanding the relationship between Israel and Palestinians – only 14 times in news articles when providing context to the events of 7 October 2023. That amounted to 0.3% of articles. Additional context – decades of Israeli apartheid rule and Israel’s 17-year blockade of Gaza — were entirely missing from the coverage."
