After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

Twelve European countries to jointly counter Russia's shadow fleet exporting oil
Twelve European countries have agreed to jointly counter the shadow fleet used by Russia to export oil, bypassing the G7-imposed price cap. Ships will now be checked for valid insurance documents.

Sonnet 089 - LXXXIX
Say that thou didst forsake me for some fault,
And I will comment upon that offence:
Speak of my lameness, and I straight will halt,
Against thy reasons making no defence.
Thou canst not, love, disgrace me half so ill,
To set a form upon desired change,
As I'll myself disgrace; knowing thy will,

"Code is, ultimately, characters on a screen, and software engineers do nothing but hammer that code into shapes that spark Joy and Money. The fear and dread comes from a culture where people feel bad that they can't work quickly enough in the terrible codebase, where they feel judged for slowing down to hammer the code into better shapes that sadly aren't on the Jira board, and where management looks down on people who practice craftsmanship."

Ever since having had a chance to use a microWAVE for a few productions in the 90s, I always had a softspot for Waldorf synths because of their spectrally rich & interesting sound character (and their design had a big impact on the few synth engines I coded myself)... Eyeing again their Iridium desktop synth, which with their wavetable, sample, granular or resonator-based oscillators and ample filter and modulation features is also so fresh, innovative & powerful (even though it'…
