Cdu-spd wegener-regierung in berlin hat 2024 die einbürgerung von den bezirken zu einer zentralen behörde des landes übertragen und digitalisiert. Die zahl der Einbürgerungen hat sich von 9000 im jahr auf 3300 im monat vervierfacht. Der Backlog von 40000 anträgen wurde abgearbeitet.

I played and finished Trine after it sat almost 11 years in my Steam backlog 😬 I've bought Trine 2 a year later, and, judging from the first two levels, it seems to be even better 😳

Man in need of kidney transplant finds 1-in-100,000 match: His wife
The odds of Jim and Mirna Irish having compatible kidneys was a long shot — roughly one in 100,000. But faced with a potential years-long backlog on the transplant waiting list, the San Diego couple set out to beat those odds.

So, some updates regarding the Consumer Action Taskforce wiki
1. Now called the Consumer Rights Wiki (CRW)
2. I am now a moderator on the wiki!
3. If you want to help assist in making new articles but need inspiration to get started, I just created with the assistance of the wiki staff a new page, a backlog of incidents to handle on the wiki

built a random article button for Karakeep and very quickly discovered I created a skinner box just to trick myself into reading (my backlog is 166 items smaller 12 hours after I got it running, and I spent most of that time sleeping)

Online Joint Replenishment Problem with Arbitrary Holding and Backlog Costs
In their seminal paper Moseley, Niaparast, and Ravi introduced the Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) with holding and backlog costs that models the trade-off between ordering costs, holding costs, and backlog costs in supply chain planning systems. Their model generalized the classical the make-to-order version as well make-to-stock version. For the case where holding costs function of all items are the same and all backlog costs are the same, they provide a constant competitive algorithm, leav…

Got lots of chores done yesterday, spent this morning processing some video backlog, came across what has to be the cleanest "prepared reaction time" measurement I've got. Lest anyone driving wonder, those people on bikes that do it every day and know their traffic and know their route, they have good reaction time, 0.6 seconds from semi-surprise signal to actually decelerating the bicycle.

GenAI-Enabled Backlog Grooming in Agile Software Projects: An Empirical Study
Effective backlog management is critical for ensuring that development teams remain aligned with evolving requirements and stakeholder expectations. However, as product backlogs consistently grow in scale and complexity, they tend to become cluttered with redundant, outdated, or poorly defined tasks, complicating prioritization and decision making processes. This study investigates whether a generative-AI (GenAI) assistant can automate backlog grooming in Agile software projects without sacrifi…

The US system to track vulnerabilities is struggling to keep up with its backlog. Experts are scrambling to assemble alternatives.

While stuck in Ilulissat I have tried to deal with the email backlog (again). But they come in way faster than I can deal with them.
I love the idea of inbox 0 but would literally achieve nothing else if I practiced it, and work would be very boring.
Anyone have suggestions for good systems that work for overwhelming numbers of emails?
I receive around 50-60 a day, at least half of them need me to do something, often something substantial so they're not just for info. #LifeOfAScientist #Emails #EmailEttiquette

Minimal Per-Flow Backlog Bounds at an Aggregate FIFO Server under Piecewise-Linear Arrival Curves

Minimal Per-Flow Backlog Bounds at an Aggregate FIFO Server under Piecewise-Linear Arrival Curves
Network Calculus (NC) is a versatile methodology based on min-plus algebra to derive worst-case per-flow performance bounds in networked systems with many concurrent flows. In particular, NC can analyze many scheduling disciplines; yet, somewhat surprisingly, an aggregate FIFO server is a notoriously hard case due to its min-plus non-linearity. A resort is to represent the FIFO residual service by a family of functions with a free parameter instead of just a single curve. For simple token-bucke…

Finite-Time Information-Theoretic Bounds in Queueing Control
We establish the first finite-time information-theoretic lower bounds-and derive new policies that achieve them-for the total queue length in scheduling problems over stochastic processing networks with both adversarial and stochastic arrivals. Prior analyses of MaxWeight guarantee only stability and asymptotic optimality in heavy traffic; we prove that, at finite horizons, MaxWeight can incur strictly larger backlog by problem-dependent factors which we identify. Our main innovations are 1) a …

I've got such a backlog of photos: April 13 I took almost 1000 photos including this game at Booth Field and then getting in the mud with daffodils by the commercial strip and the next few days were a flurry of sakuras.

Evaluating Large Language Models on Non-Code Software Engineering Tasks
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in code understanding and generation; however, their effectiveness on non-code Software Engineering (SE) tasks remains underexplored. We present the first comprehensive benchmark, which we name `Software Engineering Language Understanding' (SELU), for evaluating LLMs on 17 non-code tasks, spanning from identifying whether a requirement is functional or non-functional to estimating the effort and complexity of backlog items. …
