#ZenBrowser is considering to change the behaviour of windows in the following way:
- Two windows of the same workspace show the exact same tabs.
- Tabs are not lost when closing a window.
- In order to create a new, empty window, you first need to create a new workspace.
Any opinions? I find that quite weird and don't understand the purpose. 🤔

The vast majority of the plastic flotsam and jetsam in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (the North Pacific Garbage Patch) consists of discarded fishing gear.

Industrialised fishing nations largely contribute to floating plastic pollution in the North Pacific subtropical gyre - Scientific Reports
The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A large fraction is composed of fishing nets and ropes while the rest is mostly composed of hard plastic objects and fragments, sometimes carrying evidence on their origin. In 2019, an oceanographic mission conducted in the area, retrieved over 6000 hard plastic debris items > 5 cm. The debris was later sorte…

A characterization of all graphs cospectral to the double star $P_2(1,n)$
We examine the adjacency spectrum of trees with diameter three, also referred to as double stars. Using $P_2(a,b)$ to denote a double star with $ a$ and $b$ leaves at its respective endpoints, we discuss graphs which are cospectral to double stars for various parameters $a$ and $b$. In particular, we give constructions for graphs cospectral to $P_2(1,2k)$ for integers $k$. Lastly, we show that the double star $P_2(1,n)$ is determined by its spectrum when $n$ is odd. That is, if a graph $G$ cosp…

Research Knowledge Graphs: the Shifting Paradigm of Scholarly Information Representation
Sharing and reusing research artifacts, such as datasets, publications, or methods is a fundamental part of scientific activity, where heterogeneity of resources and metadata and the common practice of capturing information in unstructured publications pose crucial challenges. Reproducibility of research and finding state-of-the-art methods or data have become increasingly challenging. In this context, the concept of Research Knowledge Graphs (RKGs) has emerged, aiming at providing an easy to u…

Optimizing Optimizations: Case Study on Detecting Specific Types of Mathematical Optimization Constraints with E-Graphs in JijModeling
In solving mathematical optimization problems efficiently, it is crucial to make use of information about specific types of constraints, such as the one-hot or Special-Ordered Set (SOS) constraints. In many cases, exploiting such information gives asymptotically better execution time. JijModeling, an industrial-strength mathematical optimization modeller, achieves this by separating the symbolic representation of an optimization problem from the input data. In this paper, we will report a real-…

Next stop on our NLP timeline (as part of the #ISE2025 lecture) was Terry Winograd's SHRDLU, an early natural language understanding system developed in 1968-70 that could manipulate blocks in a virtual world.
