#PHPUnit question: I have a "connected" group defined as excluded in my phpunit.xml file.
I can then run it explicitly with phpunit --group connected.
If I don't specify a group, it runs everything except the connected group.
Is there a way to run "Everything, INCLUDING excluded groups?" Like a --forceAllGroups flag or similar?

Wer hätte gedacht, dass der 2. Weltkrieg nur ein missverstandenes Verhandlungsspiel war? JD Vance bringt neue Diplomatie-Formen ins Spiel, und Trump will Museen zum „schöner-Machen“ anweisen.

Faktencheck: Schreibt die Trump-Regierung die Geschichte um?
Donald Trumps Vize JD Vance hat mit Äußerungen zum Zweiten Weltkrieg Kritik ausgelöst. Trump selbst ist mit diversen historischen Unwahrheiten aufgefallen - von Irak-Invasion bis Zölle - und will Museen zensieren.

This is great news for all #XML and #pandoc users: Pandoc has now a native XML reader and writer for an XML representation of its internal document model (which was previously mainly serialized as JSON). This means that it is now possible to add support for new input or output formats via X technologies like

XML Prompting as Grammar-Constrained Interaction: Fixed-Point Semantics, Convergence Guarantees, and Human-AI Protocols

XML Prompting as Grammar-Constrained Interaction: Fixed-Point Semantics, Convergence Guarantees, and Human-AI Protocols
Structured prompting with XML tags has emerged as an effective way to steer large language models (LLMs) toward parseable, schema-adherent outputs in real-world systems. We develop a logic-first treatment of XML prompting that unifies (i) grammar-constrained decoding, (ii) fixed-point semantics over lattices of hierarchical prompts, and (iii) convergent human-AI interaction loops. We formalize a complete lattice of XML trees under a refinement order and prove that monotone prompt-to-prompt oper…

An excellent read on how Google is killing the Open Web through attacks on XML and other technical standards.

The work laptop is sluggish as hell. Fired up the task manager, and it shows Excel taking on average over 33% of the CPU, and it isn't doing much right now other than displaying two spreadsheets. It also has consumed 5.7 gigs of memory. WTF?
My 15 year old laptop, until it died, barely slowed down using Linux and LibreOffice for similar work. I handled newsletters, photo editing, and massive XML files for editing and validation (millions of records there). I used that machine…

If a book hasn't made it to a second edition, it doesn't have a first edition either (grumble, XML, grumble, grumble, library catalog, grumble, grumble, grumble).

I did not make any good progress on my project to read GPX data with Python today. (Trying to read speed.) May need to just read it as XML.
There are a bunch of nerds who do Python and bikes though, so someone might have the code example I need.

Dear Infosec people who have looked at XML and XXE before: I am trying to get an understanding of Blind XXE.
Many of the descriptions I find are lacking an important detail which makes the attack much less practical. Blind XXE works by building an URL which contains content of a file, allowing to exfiltrate content. However, in all my tests, that *only* works if the file contains no newlines, as those are not allowed in URLs. Am I missing something?

GhostShell: Streaming LLM Function Calls for Concurrent Embodied Programming
We present GhostShell, a novel approach that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to enable streaming and concurrent behavioral programming for embodied systems. In contrast to conventional methods that rely on pre-scheduled action sequences or behavior trees, GhostShell drives embodied systems to act on-the-fly by issuing function calls incrementally as tokens are streamed from the LLM. GhostShell features a streaming XML function token parser, a dynamic function interface mapper, and a mult…

Illuminating Patterns of Divergence: DataDios SmartDiff for Large-Scale Data Difference Analysis
Data engineering workflows require reliable differencing across files, databases, and query outputs, yet existing tools falter under schema drift, heterogeneous types, and limited explainability. SmartDiff is a unified system that combines schema-aware mapping, type-specific comparators, and parallel execution. It aligns evolving schemas, compares structured and semi-structured data (strings, numbers, dates, JSON/XML), and clusters results with labels that explain how and why differences occur.…
