FreeBSD has not passed testing, because nobody is willing to pay.

So, officially no, it is not.

Linux has passed.

Currently, only 1 Linux distro holds a current certificate: Huawei EulerOS.

Interestingly both are RHEL rebrands, i.e. they are basically the old CentOS Linux.

This means that Linux™ is a UNIX™. Officially. And has been for years.
As someone who has lived long-term in both countries, I think that while the Swiss system is absolutely better than the UK system, people in the UK are a bit _too_ self-deprecating about the UK rail system, which is, all things considered, relatively good. Honestly, the biggest pain point in my eyes is that, because of privatisation, it's not all integrated into a single booking/refund/information system, which unfortunately
does it make it _feel_ quite flakey.
Shouldn't the casual anarchist in you rejoice at people hitting back on predatory, monopolistic, customer-hostile business practices of Big Movie though?
I used to do this all the time, when I worked for a Japanese company.

They used to translate my emails, "in-place," so this allowed the translators to insert a line of Kanji characters, below each of my lines.

It also taught me to be frugal in my content, but you'd never know it, reading my stuff, these days...
> I think web browsers could get framerates on typical webpages to 180 fps if it were a priority. I have found some sites that should be renderable at super high framerates that struggled to keep an average of 60 fps.

Wouldn't it be better if most sites were only redrawn upon user interaction, remaining static most of the time apart from that? Think of the battery life savings!
Putin is not the only person who was successful with this strategy. Usually it goes like this: an enemy attacks us, we defend ourselves, this unites us, and that unity is then abused in the future to legitimize authoritarian rule or even - as in the case of Putin's invasion of Ukraine - a full-scale war.

It makes no difference if a person was killed for ridiculing Fuhrer, hiding Jews or refusing to serve vodka[0]. Death is death and I hope one day humanity understands no war makes sense and we stop this insanity, working together to make everybody's lives better, not just one nation we happen to be associated with.

> Better performance

Counterbalanced by the fact that if you just throw any old random font file on your server, it'll quite possibly be larger (in some cases considerably so) than necessary. So now you need to subset/split up the font files yourself, which takes some extra work (and the various online subsetting tools I've found often don't allow proper control over which OpenType typographic features to keep, sometimes mangle ligatures, etc., so I had to hack something together myself based on the Python fontTools), especially if subsetting a single file isn't enough and you actually need to split the fonts into multiple files.

This is the story of the 1980s S&L crisis in a nutshell. And the 1930s banking crisis and probably a bunch of others. Every generation has to see it once.
That's precisely why the PinePhone matters. One might criticize PINE64's approach of "throwing hardware over the wall and hoping that the community magically comes together and makes the software side work", but without PINE64 the situation would be even worse.
How do you tell if a site requires SNI before connecting?
yup, encounters with a convert-narcissist is emotionally taxing, and dangerous for anyone in proximity.

At least you can spot the issue... many can't. =)
Thinking these thoughts however (from a pov of some subject) is not a "mere existence of thoughts". This imo is a classic analytic/positivistic language game.
I was bullied at school for not having Nike shoes; I remember one kid literally telling me "I can't be friends with you until you have Nikes".

I love kids; I used to work with kids and I kinda miss it, but man kids can be petty assholes.
And for Tumblr (and most apps out there), they took on on all this headache just for some push notifications and fancy animations. They clearly didn't do their cost-benefit analysis when deciding to make their app
> When I was a child I assumed that all the adults running the world knew what they were doing. Now that I am an adult, I am under no such illusions. Just look at the current British government. They clearly don’t have a clue. A more mediocre bunch of individuals would be hard to find.

I remember viewing an interview with John Cleese, and he said almost exactly the same thing.

I feel as if I have a "heuristic" for life, as opposed to "rules." It helps that whole "making up as we go along" thing.

I’m not very well versed in crypto so I apologize if this is off-base.

Are you saying that “working as advertised” means that a crypto blockchain is adjustable by a centralized authority?
It’s a good way to learn Haskell and Prolog —- so many of the problems lend themselves to combinatorial or recursive solutions.
What makes this possible in Europe is the Nazi mania for documentation. In Australia, as in the US, the killings happened over decades in a far more random/opportunistic way and records of how many died and where are extremely patchy, with few if any names recorded:

Based on what you write, a Sony phone with Sailfish might still be fitting and polished enough.
I think with many victims we just don't know what exactly happened – some were opposing the regime, some told a political joke, some were falsely accused by their co-workers in order to get promoted to their position, some were falsely accused by their (innocent) friends who were tortured by NKVD, some had a wrong biography, and others had a wrong name. They all got Article 58.
First, ChipID = 0x1638 was not supported (listed). Support for it was added in Linux DRM driver 5.7.19, but FreeBSD's drm-kmod lags far behind. The support has been added recently, but you have to manually clone drm-kmod from the repo, checkout branch 5.10-lts, compile and install.

Second, there were a couple of bugs in xf86-video-amdgpu which made Xorg to crash soon as it accesses AMDGPU device. Those were fixed pretty recently and not released yet, i.e. you have to manually apply a patch, compile and install.

With all these updates I'm pretty much happy with FreeBSD right now. All GLE software is now working on my Lenovo Ideapad. I'm heavy user of KiCAD, FreeCAD and other engineering graphics software. Even some proprietary windows CADs are working under wine32, though you have to dedicate quite some of your time to make it. ;-)

Support for mixed win32/win64 code (WoW64) is missing in FreeBSD Wine, so you cannot run Fusion 360 at the moment. Adding support for it would be one more great step towards making FreeBSD even better ;-).

How do you estimate time elapsed without external inputs? Experiments where people cut themselves from external stimuli seem to show that on the contrary, we don’t good internal clocks on this regard.
The German government in general doesn't collect data on the composition of ethnic groups in Germany.
this comments are so angry. I can't understand people complaining about facebook and twitter taking over world every day, becoming angry to face "just another social network". If we become this mean to every start-up, how world will manage to get rid of these giants? you won't be a part of the "new" social network if you don't like it. You don't need to gate keep current status. Internet nowadays sucks! and we need newcomers to change it.
Bright matte screens are pretty good at minimising reflections, plus with my current monitor angling the only one directly opposite the window has me between it and the window.

This second paragraph is consistent with advice from a piece on HN about a month ago, describing how playing poker can make us better at life. And one of the key principles was being process oriented.
Shows as £46.70, which still isn't bad, though off-peak is often less painful. If you have to use the train to commute to work, then things start raking up.

I live 15 miles outside London and 17 years ago was paying best part of £2k a year just to get into central london and back, today it would be the best part of £3k a year to make that same journey. Using the same tracks, (probably trains) and stations all those years ago. Though more people than back then, which was already at levels upon peak work commutes that saw you playing sardines.
> Do you know who we should thank for all businesses killing their own online presence and migrating to Facebook? I'll give you 4 letters to guess: G.D.P.R

Business started killing their own presence before GDPR. If GDPR did contribute to this, I doubt it, the only reason I could think of would be businesses not understanding GDPR.

In your opinion what, specifically, about GDPR drove businesses to facebook?

Ask HN: How is Python's OOP is superior vs. Lisp CLOS?
Python classes may be clunky but it is said that Python class system is more flexible than other languages' OOP, even Lisp CLOS.

How does Python class system actually compare to Lisp CLOS?

I've seen arguments for Python class system is the blocker for important code optimizations, AOT or JIT. Are there elaborate explanations on why we get near-machine code speed for compiled SBCL Lisp but we cannot even save the image for PyPy runs? Seems like a problem worse than GIL.
> diffs make way more sense when there is only one sentence per line

I did the same thing for some time for papers at university for the same reason. It used to annoy me, because I hate to change for my tools, I rather have my tools support my workflow: There should be a nicer diff for that.
The phone runs Linux, and on Linux you can run Anbox/Waydroid to run Android apps. I don't know how well WhatsApp works on Anbox, but theoretically it should be possible.

From what I've read online the SoC is quite slow compared to most modern smart phones so your mileage may vary. Sadly, the mobile phone market is as closed down as ever, making it very challenging to get any kind of open source system to get calls or texts. There's a reason they shoved an external chip in there!

If you want an open, somewhat limited but usable smartphone experience, check out Sailfish. They've been in the mobile phone market for years and their original base in Android makes the OS compatible with quite a few devices with decent SoCs.

Personally, I'm waiting for the day you can hack PostmarketOS onto a phone and just use it as a phone, but that's not going to happen any time soon on closed hardware.

Don't forget anonymity with temporary/throwaway devices and handles combined with E2EE PFS protocols can be very powerful to thwart such surveillance.
Always be skeptical when the person giving you a diagnosis also directly benefits from giving you a particular diagnosis. This goes for dentists, banking and so much more.
I think you would have avoided all the downvotes with, "Double negatives are very much an English language thing and are commonly used in every day language", since American and British English both involve double negatives in colloquial usage.

Powers Apple should not, in my opinion, have are:

- slowing down customer-purchased devices before pushing new devices to the market. Not every Apple user wants, needs or can afford new phone every year or two

- forcing users into SaaS model via secretive security updates. One can't have secure device (well, secured up-to-date, not saying that fully updated iPhone is secure) without Apple gutting existing software, changing UI/UX and doing whatever they please on the device customer has paid for, against the customer

- blocking the possibility to upgrade the OS to previous version. IMO many versions of macOS and iOS were downgrades in comparison to previous ones. We couldn't rollback iPhones and now we can't even install macOS that came with the computer. Just the newest one (at least that's my experience: every installer but the newest one crashes at the very end)

- pushing their agendas by forcing EVERY Apple device to download a shitty U2 album because Tim Cook says so. That's what I will remember Tim Cook for the most.

Jobs was not ideal but he had drive and imagination. The company he largely participated in building was something different than your usual corporation. Cook is just an unimaginative pencil pusher.
NSFW content is disabled by default in the iOS app and you can only enable it via web iirc.

No idea though if Tumblr had the same option back then.

Since the article & the comment were about framebuffer terminals, in those cases, the base64 approach is superior: full color, built-in compression, no need to pre-rasterize. For <= 16 simultaneous colors (like in the original DEC terminals) sixel is A-OK, and in certain cases, even preferable! But when I see people today dither images to 256 colors just to be able to excrete them to a soft terminal with sixel, I cringe.

Something like Ascii85 or basE91 would have been even better, but beggars can't be choosers.

It only actually means that they thought it would be cheaper to pay money to make the problem go away than it would be to litigate it.

Part of that calculation is the cost of the lawyers, and another part of the calculation is their own thoughts on how likely they’d be to lose.
City tickets in Switzerland also are around 300-500/year. (sure our cities are nowhere near Berlin in size) the 340/m option does allow you to use nearly any transport (boats, trains, buses, some cable cars) in the whole country including price reductions (up to 50%) for most non-included transport methods (like private mountain trains or tourist hot spot cable cars).
Well in europe regulations have kind of forced 2FA (which is not bad in itself). At the beginning most banks were relying on sms but most of them are phasing it out.

Problem is instead of choosing a TOTP which would have been compatible with any OS/device they favor their own proprietary app with a push based solution. This suck.

No idea about other continents but my MX girlfriend is locked out of her own MX bank account until she go there to sort this out because she do not have her original mx phone number anymore.
> Why would anybody continue accepting Solana-based collaterals if funds can be seized at will?

The creditors might get back less money than they lent to the whale if the whale defaults and the creditors have to sell Solana. So doing nothing is not great for them, either.

Politicians, on politicized issues, come across as children. But I was amazed to discover, in a document discussion non-politicized legislation, they were well-informed and sensible, and, as you say, supported by extremely capable members of a bureaucracy. Each conclusion was tempered by how confidence levels in its supporting material. In other words, it was just what you'd want it to be. Also, clearly written and a pleasure to read.

They are only idiots on stage. Which says something about our democracy.

OTOH mathematically speaking, if you don't perfectly know what you are doing... you you don't know what you're doing.
Nice idea Orkut but see Bebo for how this is likely to work out: https://bebo.com/

With all the talk of Microsoft EEE-ing C#, do you think there's a future for C# outside of niches like games and banking? I like what Microsoft has done in terms of performance, but, I'm not too fond of having the rug pulled out if/when they start locking parts behind a proprietary license.
What I didn't hear often enough when listening about teeth health is how important is diet and lifestyle for the teeh health. While there was talk about brushing and regular dentist visits, the diet factor was mentioned briefly and half-heartedly that you shouldn't eat sugar. Which nobody listened to anyway (especially as a kid).

My opinion of Jony Ive is that he is better consumed in moderation, as some cheeses. Just a little bit of Jony at a time is just about perfect.
This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety.

Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

So I write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader’s ear. Don’t just write words. Write music.

This is a problem Android, which is also Linux-based, has already solved. You can wake up a process (on a power efficient core, if available) without waking up the screen.

One problematic issue I can see the Pinephone have in regards to this is that there's no unified push service that works for all apps. Google has forced everyone on Android to use their push service and it's terribly restrictive for application development but over the years this has also solved a lot of battery life issues. Apps holding open connections of their own just to see if there are any notifications is fine on desktops but it's a challenge open platforms will need to solve somehow.
The author is not talking about the same standard. "Knowing what you're doing" means that you're familiar with a situation and you know exactly the correct course of action. This is not the case for most things in adult life (especially politics), in which every problem is a new problem, for which you use heuristics to converge to a solution, that isn't perfect, but at least tries something out.

I think this highlights one of the major differences between Australia and the US, in the US there appears to be some tolerance to arseholes as long as they are bringing in the $$. In Australia, the arseholes tend to get kicked regardless of how wealthy they are, in fact the more wealthy the bigger the target. In general it appears that bribery (in it's many forms) is less than in the US, wealth in and of itself does not impress people.
honest question: why do you consider non-commercial not open source or free software but not attribution or sharealike ?
They are often not required. It's obviously great if you have worked with a lot of the technology used at the new company, but many companies don't apply these as hard filters. I've never seen a candidate that had a 100% technology fit, but not one cares about that.

I view the technologies listed in the job ad much more as information for the applicant to judge if they'd be comfortable working with such a tech stack. Often it's the only place to get a glimpse of what technology a company is using.
The name is problematic. My mind jumps strait to trying to remember enough chemistry to produce the plastic suitable for molding into keycaps.
