1. Happy to rediscover Clipboard History plugin in Chrome. It saves
the frustration of hunting around, or rewording, a reusable snippet of
wikitext on Commons image pages.
2. As part of a Commons discussion on copyright, for the first time in
a couple of years created a flowchart, and experienced the same
pleasure in setting out logic in this old fashioned way as I used to
experience in the 1980s. ... Do kids learn about von Neumann these
days?

What's making me happy this week:
1. A recent entry in the Mozilla Blog discussed the possible value of
anonymity in decreasing bias in code review processes:

2. The opt-in "pingback" telemetry from MediaWiki installations, which is
available since March 2017, suggests that there are more than 40,000 unique
installations. See:
https://pingback.wmflabs.org,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPingback and
https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Pingback_Privacy_Statement.
There is also some news which is a little older and I am now getting around
to sharing here:
3. A research project has been started which aims to test whether vandal
activity can be detected in (near) real time, which may open opportunities
for interventions earlier in the process of publishing edits. See
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ai/2018-January/000221.html.
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to write in any language.
