Canada Post workers go on strike: union
  • I understand that it's the employees sorting and delivering the mail, but you need to look at the bigger picture and not immediately jump to blame the product of a broken system.

    Management sets the working conditions, policies, and provides resources (or sometimes fails to).

    Mistakes can often be traced back to issues like understaffing (possibly due to low wages), lack of proper training, or unreasonable expectations - all of which are decisions made by management.

    If management practices improve, the overall performance and accuracy of the workforce will likely improve as well.

  • Containers are chroot with a Marketing Budget
  • People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.

    And fear leads to hate.

  • Good eye, you're right!

    Don't have the car no more as it was a rental, but I'll give it a closer look if I see this again!

  • Looks like the machine that perforates the seats didn't push hard enough, or the needle was snapped off at that location. Spit balling here, someone else might know better.

  • Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new
  • It's my first time getting name brand in a while, but it's possible it's like OEM tires, where the tires that come with your car don't have as much tread as a new tire you bought yourself, even of the same model.

  • I actually just bought some Panasonic CR2032 and opened the packaging yesterday and I did notice they were heavier 😁

  • WikiLambda, backend for Wikifunctions, rewrites itself from Node.js (!!) to Rust
  • True, I didn't structure my sentence correctly.

    It gets to compete with Java and Python because it's also JIT is what I meant to say.

  • WikiLambda, backend for Wikifunctions, rewrites itself from Node.js (!!) to Rust
  • Absolutely, it's just one aspect of it, benchmarks are always narrow in scope. Some languages may be good at some things and worse at others.

  • Oh PHP is hands down one of the slowest languages out there. It's just convenient because it's easy to host, but it's awful to use and it's really slow.

    Here, have a chart:

    In this chart, where the benchmark is calculating digits of π, Java is faster than JS, but there are cases where it's the opposite.

  • WikiLambda, backend for Wikifunctions, rewrites itself from Node.js (!!) to Rust
  • Node.js is really not a bad backend language, since it's JIT, it's actually faster than Python and Java in most cases.

    Rust will definitely have the advantage of being a compiled language though.

    Source: I write both Java and TS backend code, have done benchmarks.

  • Forged and stolen prescriptions are a thing, they need to perform KYC to avoid selling drugs to fraudsters.

    It's always been a problem, and your identity used to be validated using government IDs, but it can also be digital nowadays. They've always done checks, they have to by law.

    Cmdr. Patrice Vilcéus, a Montrealer of Haitian origin, says he made sure throughout his career not to simply be an observer in the face of racism and racial profiling.

    > >Earlier this month, a Quebec Superior Court judge ruled in a class-action lawsuit that racial profiling is a systemic problem in the Montreal police force, and that the city is responsible for profiling committed by its police officers. Justice Dominique Poulin ordered the City of Montreal to pay $5,000 to people arrested without justification and racially profiled. > > > >The force has also released two reports since 2019 showing that racialized people are disproportionately targeted by police during random street checks.

    Proton Mail (Android / Web / Desktop): Automatic attachment upload to Proton Drive

    Hello!

    As per the title, I think it would be really useful to have an automatic upload and attachment of any items over the 25MB limit to Proton Drive. This is something I sorely miss from Gmail which makes sending some types of emails a pain as I have to first upload it to Drive, create a public link, keep track of all my publicly shared files, and make sure the link works before placing it awkwardly in my email.

    Proton Calendar Android - No multi-account support

    Hello!

    As per the title, Proton Calendar for Android does not appear to support multiple signed in accounts.

    This means I can only get notifications for personal appointments or client meetings, but not both, and the web version never prompts to enable notifications on Android. I am thus liable to miss events on whichever calendar I am not currently signed into.

    This is not an acceptable level of support for a professional suite. Is there a roadmap for when this feature will be added?

    Working with MPI on a hit and run with evidence

    A family member was recently a victim of a hit and run on her parked car. We know there is evidence that is easy to get, but MPI is refusing to work with us.

    A police report was filed, there were eye witnesses, the suspect visited a weed store, got carded there, bought weed, and then performed the hit and run in full view of their camera system with their plate fully visible. The weed store knows who it is.

    However, MPI is showing little interest in actually investigating, and this means the victim will have to pay the $200 deductible for something that wasn't their fault and is easily solvable. They keep pressuring MPI at every call that there is evidence and they just have to go get it (as I actually walked into the weed store to ask questions and asked them to keep aside the video evidence, one of their employees was also hit), but so far they have done nothing.

    Does anyone know of a process that would push MPI to actually investigate such a thing? TIA

    BIXI got breached

    I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.\\\*

    It's also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.
