Firms will no longer be allowed to ‘ghost’ candidates that they interviewed for a job under new rules coming into effect in the Canadian province Ontario.

An update to the Employment Standard Acts will oblige firms to notify candidates about the status of their application within 45 days.

The new rules, which will apply from 2026, will also oblige firms to outline salary details in adverts and disclose whether artificial intelligence is used in the hiring process.

Reminder: Being honest means believing everything you say, it doesn't mean saying everything you believe.

To coin a phrase: "you have the right to remain silent".

In a legal context, of course, this is urgent.

But ya know what? In most ordinary contexts, it's still a good thing to remember.

i've modified wasi-libc and wasi-sdk (PRs pending) so that you always have the concurrency APIs (pthread_*, thrd_*, , , ) available to you, even in single-threaded targets. this makes porting applications (especially C++ ones) much, _much_ easier!

https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/pull/548

this took me quite a bit of work and i'm glad to have it done

On the home screen of my phone, there are 8 apps whose icon is a blue circle with white in, and a further two whose icon is a white circle with blue in. I can never get the one I want.

Remember when icons had different colours and shapes? That wasn't "untidy", it was helpful!

I'm absolutely certain that an agreement of some sort will be essential for the new Corbyn / Sultana party with the Greens.

A formal pact might be a step too far, but on a constituency by constituency basis, given local knowledge and conditions might be a lot better.
(It may be necessary to include the LibDems in a few areas as well - shock! horror!)

Whatever happens any agreement will upset someone in either tent, but the progressive vote mustn't split.

I think one of the (many) problems in England right now is that nothing works anymore after decades of underinvestment, but bureaucracy acts like it still does. Government website down? The deadline still exists. Documents lost in the post? Not an excuse because that's not supposed to be possible. Didn't buy a train ticket because the machine wasn't working and they've closed the ticket office? Still get a fine. Late for work because public transport is collapsing? No excuse.
