Here is a presentation with more technical details:

The old To/Cc design was really bad. If you have more than three addresses, then these three lines scroll. The only indication that there are more than three addresses is a tiny scrollbar all the way to the right. I recently sent an e-mail to more people than intended when editing an old message as new, because it had more To-addresses that weren't visible and I didn't notice the scrollbar.

I'm very happy that it's being updated.

Zak McKracken: The FM Towns version is the only one with 256 colours.

Our office is in the process of opening again and we have an arrangement that, at any time, half of the people come to the office and the other half stays at home. It's one person per room, basically. Some groups have organised themselves so that everyone comes in every other day. Some groups are naturally split into teams and the teams come in every other week. I've heard from another company where some people come in the morning and some in the afternoon.

I have the same configuration and leave display scaling at 100%, but set the font scaling factor to 1.5 in the Gnome Tweak Tool. In this way, all fonts in Wayland and XWayland apps have the right size and nothing is blurry. Only controls like window borders are a bit smaller than intended by the designer, but I actually prefer it that way because it's more compact.

> It seems the obvious way to do this was to have SMB mounts on either side and optimize the hell out of the already existing SMB implementations on both OSes to get the performance close enough to disk.

That's basically what they're doing, only that it's not SMB but 9p protocol servers.

Here is a video where they discuss the WSL2 architecture. The link is time-stamped to go to an overview picture of the architecture.

Open a new one, it's empty anyway. I only have it so that Android can track me.

Spießrutenlaufen was used by the military and was a severe, often fatal punishment. It was certainly not a great educational tool.

The UK is still bound to the EU rules until the end of the year.

Here is an article stating this explicitly in connection to the "ghost flight" rules: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/mar/10/eu-airlines...

> My understanding is that if airlines stop running flights they may lose their access to a given airport or terminal.

This used to be the case, but the relevant rule has now been suspended.

I like this set of graphs with commentary:

http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/covid19/

Right, both papers are mainly what should be done right now. They both conclude that a hard lockdown is the only realistic option that won't overload the health system in the next few months. It's not so clear what to do afterwards.

> Which experts are proposing the way forward is actually a total lockdown?

The Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team, for example: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/s...

In Germany, the Society for Epidemiology has a similar analysis with similar conclusions: https://www.dgepi.de/assets/Stellungnahmen/Stellungnahme2020...

Get out of academia

I usually say überkompliziert.

I think it's a mistranslation, though. The "mut" in "wehmut" does not mean courage. Looking up the etymology, the word "wehmut" seems to come from "wehmütig", which literally means something like being in a painful state of mind.

All Android One phones get security updates for at least three years. Samsung decreases the frequency of security updates after two years, but still provides some. Google updates its phones for quite a bit longer. Of all the phones I've had, Motorola has been the worst by far with respect to updates.

The problem with Motorola is the complete lack of software support. I have a G5+ and Motorola announced in March that it will not receive security updates anymore. That's just two years after the phone's release. It seems that Motorola doesn't care about software at all. The security patch level of my G5+ has been out of date by several months for practically all of the phone's life.

You should try ed sometime :).

In Europe, Budapest, Berlin, Paris and Madrid have been in the same time zone for over 80 years. The day in Paris is currently shifted by almost an hour compared to Berlin. If the time shift has serious implications, then it ought to be possible to demonstrate them by comparing Paris and Berlin.

Of course, it is perfectly fine to prefer one time or another. But I do not find the claims of health and safety impacts very convincing, given that many places are already shifted today.

You mean like the Vorführeffekt when you're trying to show the bug and then it isn't there? :)

Possibly, but one of the examples was a link to Springer IP.

> You can't update the bios through Linux, the update tool is windows only.

I run Fedora on a T480s and BIOS updates come automatically through the software update channel (in fact, the frequency of BIOS updates is a little annoying).

> They are so important that even a language like Haskell is willing to accept utterly nonsensical semantics (hello, Traversable) to better support sequences.

I've mostly ignored Haskell for the past decade. What happened with Traversable?

Ipe is great not just for figures, but also presentations. It supports multi-page documents, incremental build-up of slides, presentation style-sheets, and so on. Showcase:

Thanks! I just replaced FnvHashMap with hashbrown::HashMap and get a 20% overall performance improvement in my workload (which is rather HashMap-heavy).
