Defining ‘Toast’ Messages
In current user interface terms a toast is a message that appears on the screen; it is often short, often appears only briefly, and often animates up from the bottom (like a piece of ghostly yet precisely-crafted toast), though other directions and a fade-in/-out is common. The Name When Google…

It’s been 36 years since a mass femicide occurred at École Polytechnique in Montréal.

despite its global recognition as one of the most vivid examples of femicide in the western world.
Women and girls continue to be killed every two days somewhere in Canada, mostly by men. …

Evaluating BBRv2 on the Dropbox Edge Network
Nowadays, loss-based TCP congestion controls in general and CUBIC specifically became the de facto standard for the Internet. BBR congestion control challenges the loss-based approach by modeling the network based on estimated bandwidth and round-trip time. At Dropbox, we've been using BBRv1 since 2017 and are accustomed to its pros and cons. BBRv2 introduces a set of improvements to network modeling (explicit loss targets and inflight limits) and fairness (differential probing and headroom for…

"In 2020, Berlin passed a law that resulted in a five-year rent freeze [...] for 90% of the flats in the city. While the law offered relief to about 1.5 million households who had seen rents rise by an estimated third in the six years prior, it was ruled as unconstitutional in 2021 after Germany’s highest court sided with landlords and property investment lobbyists who had argued it was inappropriate and illegal for the state to meddle with the private market."
