More completely the 8 hour work day movement. Loosely, 8hrs each for work, sleep, and everything else with everything else often being called recreation. Add in a 5 day work week a…

Which is fair as is not expecting everyone to be able to deliver a barnstorming talk. At least not without training. I'd also flag that the audio is not good which isn't your fault…

Point of order. They were cancelled. There was a surge in viewership as they tried to tie up the story prompting the renewal of the show. But way too late. That they were able to p…

The removal of EU legislation from British law and the UK-US trade deal. With the US demanding it's healthcare and pharma unfettered access to the NHS on terms equivalent to curren…

No, it's not centrally collected. There is a national eHealth system, MyHealthRecord, but it's opt in for patients, supplementary to your provider's records, and various pieces of …

Yeah, its the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. For any item covered by it made after 2005 it's the producer or distributor's responsibility to recycle it.

WRT [1]. Mitsubishi’s Diamondtron was the other one. Pretty much the only way to get a flat fronted CTR at the time.

When you hybridise like that it’s up to you to highlight the benefits. As you point out it’s much easier to do that with closely related fields. You need to have an idea of what th…

The initial container is a contrived worst case example. Not necessarily a bad idea when you want to make a point but most of the gains are from not doing things you’re told not to…

So I unlock the phone and hold it in front of an officer? At which point the office relieves me of my phone and takes it as evidence.

It's been spun out into it's own project here: https://github.com/localstack/localstack or https://localstack.cloud/ edit: Extra URL

Speaking as someone who just got bitten by Maven’s dependency resolution now only building broken artefacts. (Sub-dependency’s dependency is loose enough to pull in a version built…

Herd immunity is important too. Not everyone, and especially those most vulnerable to flu, can get vaccinated so helping keep it down in the general population helps.

Tellingly they go out of their way to say security fixes are always at their discretion and come from upstream. After explaining that a no feature updates is fine as upstream will …

Microsoft has been tinkering with systems stuff in C# for years so I'm not surprised[1] 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(operating_system)

It looks like the author is involved with one side of Scottish sectarianism. Not the sort of thing HN should be platforming

Then you’ve kinda reinvented Kerberos or at least half of it. You’d be creating a hell of a lot of load on the server and the CA generating and signing all those new certificates. …

Yeah, It implies bad things about the expected performance of the JVM or the quality of the application being run. Either startup time or the time taken for the JIT to get a handle…

Thou shalt be able to recognise the Unix Epoch 0

The UK still has a site too but yes there's only a handful globally. The former site at Dounreay in Scotland used to leak particles on a regular basis which were all kinds of bad n…

Keeping the border between the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the UK open is a very, very, big deal because it's a component of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Frida…

Perhaps but given AWS is a heavy Xen and KVM shop something like Kata Containers might suit them better.

I forget who it was but I remember someone commenting along the lines of: They don't need to add back doors they just need poor security. Or, to double paraphrase. Any sufficiently…

In the UK the limit is the limit. There is leeway to exceed the limit by up to 10% to allow safer overtaking (you're usually using the oncoming lane and opportunities are scarce) a…
