R.I.P. Jason Arday (1985-2026)
Jason Arday, pictured in 2023I read the terrible news about the death of Jason Arday on Friday evening. The first thing I want to do is express heartfelt condolences to his family – especially his wife and two children – and his friends and former colleagues and my hope that the media who hounded Prof. Arday to his death will at least give them some space to mourn his loss.
The word “tragedy” is often misused, applied to any event that is sad which this certainly is. The case of Jason Arday is a true tragedy in the sense arising from Greek drama: the central protagonists are always flawed characters who makes bad decisions, but are propelled relentlessly towards their fate by forces entirely beyond their control. Once the right-wing media lynch mob got hold of this story they were never going to back off. This is just some of the coverage from one newspaper, The Daily Telegraph.
Source: BlueskyYes, Arday did bad things, but the media attention was utterly disproportionate. Nobody could be expected to withstand such treatment. How did the people churning out these articles think this would end?
I find this whole saga bleaker than anything Sophocles wrote, because nobody comes out of it with any credit at all. Not Arday himself, nor Cambridge University, nor the press, nor Nathan Cofnas, the white supremacist blogger who brought everything out into the open. The latter may have exposed academic misconduct, but his motivation was rooted in his racist views and undoubtedly malicious.
Of course academic misconduct is wrong, but it does not warrant a death sentence. And where was the media furore when a (white) History professor at Cambridge, William O’Reilly, was found to have plagiarised his own students essays? Professor O’Reilly, incidentally, remains in post. That’s just one example. I’m sure there are dozens more that we know nothing about, because they couldn’t be used to further racist ends. If standards are not applied equally then they can be used to reinforce prejudice, as they have in this case. It’s called hypocrisy.
The usual Culture Warmongers are using this case to further their agenda against the principles of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion which are supposed to be adopted in universities and other institutions. For myself, this tragedy demonstrates that EDI* principles are not satisfied by mere tokenism, a facile form of window-dressing that does nothing to change the culture within the organisation.
(*For any Americans reading this I use the UK/European EDI in preference to the DEI used in the States which reminds me too much of OPUS DEI.)
In a slightly different context, this is why I have become cynical about the “widening participation” efforts by many higher-education institutions to recruit students from disadvantaged backgrounds. These may succeed in bringing more such students into courses – and hence greater income to the university – but they are rarely backed up by the support needed to enable them to succeed. Many institutions do not even track the outcomes of these students, not because they can’t but because The Management doesn’t care: once they’re in through the door that’s “job done”.
I came from what some people would call a disadvantaged background, although I don’t think of it that way. That I have had a career in academia is a result of an enormous amount of luck, starting way back in primary school. I would dearly like to see a system in which luck wasn’t so important, but what is being done now is not the way to achieve that. If we’re going to do EDI – and we should – let’s do it properly.
UPDATE: 20/8/2026. Nathan Cofnas has been suspended by Gent University pending a disciplinary process.

redb 3.6.0: багрепорт, который оказался в шести провайдерах сразу — плюс AS2/EDI и общий порт
Отчёт пользователя вскрыл утечку между диалогами в query-провайдере ядра — 6 из 6. Что ещё в 3.6.0: AS2/EDI, общий Kestrel, Camel-паритет. Год стек рос на наших собственных задачах: мы писали то, что нужно было нам, и проверяли на своей проде. С весны им начали пользоваться посторонние люди — и характер входящих сообщений изменился. Вместо «а поддерживаете ли вы X» приходят разборы: воспроизведение, номера строк в наших исходниках, обходные пути, которые человек уже написал у себя, пока ждал ответа. Это самое ценное, что может случиться с проектом. Спасибо всем, кто не поленился написать вместо того, чтобы молча уйти на другую библиотеку. Один такой отчёт лежит в основе половины этого релиза — и вскрытый им дефект оказался вовсе не там, где его нашли. Итак, redb 3.6.0 : ядро, интеграционный движок redb.Route , рантайм redb.Tsak и OIDC-сервер redb.Identity — все на одном номере, 63 пакета.

AS2 в .NET без отдельного Java-гейтвея: EDI-обмен с партнёрами прямо в маршруте
Если вы поставляете товар в крупную розницу, возите грузы для 3PL-оператора, шлёте платёжные извещения банку или обмениваетесь медицинскими транзакциями X12 — вы почти наверняка обмениваетесь этими документами по AS2 . Заказ (EDI 850), счёт (810), уведомление об отгрузке (856), платёжное авизо (820) уходят партнёру не почтой и не через REST, а как подписанный и зашифрованный S/MIME-конверт поверх HTTP, с подписанной квиткой-распиской в ответ. Так работает регламентированный B2B-документооборот в рознице, логистике, финансах, производстве и здравоохранении уже двадцать лет: Walmart, Amazon и их сети поставщиков, банки с host-to-host каналом, автопром, дистрибьюторы — все требуют AS2. В .NET до сих пор было два пути. Либо коммерческий AS2-шлюз — Cleo, Seeburger, BizTalk — отдельная коробка, отдельная лицензия, отдельная команда сопровождения. Либо Java-сервер с открытым кодом — OpenAS2, Mendelson Community — отдельный JVM-процесс рядом с вашим .NET-бэкендом, со своим inbox-каталогом, откуда документы надо ещё забирать джобой. В обоих случаях AS2 живёт сбоку от вашей интеграции, а не внутри неё. redb.Route.AS2 закрывает этот разрыв: AS2 становится обычным шагом маршрута в вашем .NET-процессе. Приняли конверт от партнёра, расшифровали, проверили подпись, отдали документ в pipeline — провалидировали, трансформировали, положили в Kafka или SQL — и вернули партнёру подписанную расписку. Один процесс, один деплой, одна панель наблюдаемости. Разберём, как это выглядит в коде, где применяется и почему нативный коннектор в ESB выигрывает у отдельного шлюза.

>> Sarkar links the rise of corporate DEI with the decline of trade union militancy, and many on the left, she said, have realised “representation is a poor substitute for collective bargaining”.
“Representation is inherently passive. Collective bargaining is base-building and empowering – it’s less about what you think and more about what you are doing,” she said. “The latter creates a much more useful kind of political agent than someone who’s just waiting to see a brown face in a high place.” <<
Ash Sarkar is onto something important about the the notion of "representation" here, but it requires deeper exploration.
"Visibility" can be nothing more than tokenism, but it might also be at least the prelude to social power, if not that power in itself.
The history of "representation" as a concept in progressive thought requires examination. Some, but not all, of its roots can be found in the ethnic and racial politics of the USA. Obviously, the history of the struggles of African Americans and others in the long Civil Rights era matters here, but so do the battles of nineteenth and early twentieth century non-WASP groups such as the Irish and Italians for power and dignity.
What we need to think about with respect to "representation" is not merely "minority" or "urban" history, important though those fields are; we also need to explore the history of the concept of "institutional racism" and investigate the the significance and effect of the jurisprudence in Supreme Court decisions like the 1971 Griggs v. Duke Power Co.
The degree to which these US ideas are already embedded and possibly transformed in the UK, as well as the possibility and desirability of further transfer also merit debate.
Of course, the USA is not the only place that matters here, but one has to start somewhere.
None of these suggestions for further thought should obscure the importance of Sarkar's claim that "representation is a poor substitute for collective bargaining."

Puh. Den Tag über mit so dussligen Amis rumgeschlagen, die unbedingt deren häßliches Datenformat nutzen müssen (statt internationaler Standards) und nicht mal Testdaten liefern wollen/können.
Und jetzt bin ich so platt, daß ich nur noch aufs Sofa will. Dabei hätte ich am WIP noch reichlich zu tun. ☹️ -
📊 Towards an inclusive Open Science
This study analyses 52 policy documents across Europe & the Americas and finds a gap between ambition and practice:
➡️ Strong focus on open access & data
➡️ Limited guidance on EDI and public participation💡 Key takeaway: inclusion and engagement must be implemented alongside openness to truly democratize science.
