To be correct, even the worlds top 50th best tennis player makes $0 (read from couple interviews back in the '00s), it's mostly their family that pays. Below top 20, sponsors may cover part of costs.

Like other sports, it's fun enough that many play it for free at local tournaments, and some families can afford pay expensive flights and stay abroad.

I recall meeting with sportsmen and travellers who do months-long trips across continents. Half of them were pensioneers and just one single guy was a 34-yo die-hard traveller riding a bike across Eurasia for its own sake. Others were professionals, and they'd say they'd been preparing the travel for 2 years, seeking sponsors -- some in equipment, some in money, -- and signing contracts and clarifying sponsorship activity details -- photos here, report and booklet there, etc.

This contrasted a lot with our IT industry "let's do it for fun or learning" spirit.
But rust absolutely does not have any C/C++ compatibilty besides arguably very good FFI. And that's where zig shines. They have a c/c++ compiler built into the zig compiler via zig cc, that's even easier to use than clang or GCC due to having the benefits of a buildscript and baked in libcs for different architectures, making crosscompilation a breeze.

In zig you _can_ actually start with a c codebase and rewrite it file by file in zig and you _can_ include c headers in your zig files verbatim. Both of these are not possible in rust.

This milestone is only gonna remove the c++ (and objective c/c++) compiler for now from zig cc. So while you could argue this will ostracize people rewriting their c++ codebases in zig, I don't imagine there's actually many people like that.
EDIT: I just looked at the discussion and there's actually a lot of people that use the c++ capapbilities.
Please share those articles. I want to feel the same way.

Anecdatally, I heard from someone that went back there to visit family for the holidays. They traveled to a ranch town on the countryside. They were stopped at roadblocks where armed men interrogated every man in their group before letting them through

The old safari is slow and, can you believe it, HN does not fully function!
Now, we all know the hardware is premium and this device would probably run linux very smoothly and the touch interface would be a dream. But we can only dream right?

Safari is not known for being slow.

That machine is _old_. The iPad was released in 2010 - 13 years ago. And even when new it was substantially slower than contemporary PCs or Macs - Apple then was not the CPU powerhouse it is today. It has 256Mb RAM and early (so, slow) NAND flash storage.

I really think you would (or, at least, most people would) be very disappointed at how well it would run Linux now. Things like web browsing and running recent applications, and more ‘HN’ things like coding, would be very sluggish.
Okay but now you are expecting them to manage another OS? Im with you on allowing more freedom, but to expect them to maintain linux for tablets?
Well, your cursor would otherwise constantly damage every buffer underneath it, demanding constant redraws just from moving the mouse across. If you have 2 hardware planes and simply composite one over the other at the hardware level, this won’t happen.

If you ever had the “fortune” to get a kernel that is brokenly busy, you might have seen a completely irresponsive static image, but the cursor might still move. This is also due to this.
Why wouldn’t it apply to Microsoft, Apple, Twitter and Reddit if it applies to Google and Facebook?
Too bad Stadia got (mostly) killed off, sounds like the perfect use case
If you don't have any idea how dangerous something is, you're probably going to want to estimate it as pretty damn dangerous. Of course there's enough data here to make an estimate, though IMO that estimate would still end up being quite dangerous.
Not to mention they often had a rich owner who ran them at a loss if need be to ensure they keep being friendly to him/her when needed.
As mentioned, basically every wayland compositor does an additional hardware plane for the cursor, so it does it properly and the results are good.
Maybe Linux DEs would work better on touch devices if we could install them in the first place...

Right now you either have niche near-obsolete devices which are unlocked, mainstream locked devices or mainstream unlocked but technically messy.

So why and how to improve something you can't install?
You can construct a system under which the phrase makes sense but musicians and musicologists will look at you weird if you say it. The LLM just forges bravely on, however.
I don’t think it’s true. I have written a toy compositor where I didn’t bother with a separate hardware plane for the cursor and it was snappy as hell at 60fps.

Are you saying that Pixel's abysmal long term support record is because Google can't afford to hire kernel and hardware devs? Or does Qualcomm lock them out even with those people after some number of years?
I do. For three reasons:

1. If people are worried nobody will get their bags for a long time, they'll be less likely to follow safety protocols and leave them behind.

2. It's bad to take people's things away for a long time.

3. Even if you assume people will obey, it can cause more harm than good in non-dire situations.

None of those reasons require the passengers to be notably logical.

And I have no idea what correlation you're talking about.
A default LineageOS installation will not be rooted. There are really less and less reasons why you'd even want a rooted phone. The killer feature used to be ad-blocking, but most ad-blockers can work without root nowadays.

The backup problem is a notorious problem with any Android phone, I don't understand what it has to do with custom ROMs.
> Why not? Why wouldn't moving to a harm reduction model for all drugs be a win for everyone except the prison industrial complex?

Legalizing all recreational drugs isn't "harm reduction", it's creating a bigger drug addiction pandemic. Successful Harm reduction models like in Portugal have legalized no recreational drugs.

I don't get it, on the frontpage you have books like "Harry Potter", I'm fairly sure that's not open source or even available for free distribution. It also seems counter intuitive that you get preferential treatment if you login, why would that be the case, if it's truly open?
I mostly use cloud-init these days, to the point where I just went and built a shim (https://github.com/rcarmo/ground-init) for desktop setups.

If it‘s not going to save or make money, company isn’t going to bother. And Google is on a cost-cutting crusade right now so absent an external motivation it’s going to happen even less.
For home labs, NixOS is the easy recommendation if you are up for it. It really does just work once you understand it and get over the initial bootstrap of a single machine. I'd say it's easier than k8s and can also manage physical hosts.
“RF Mapping” or open sourced SIGINT? So many issues here. The IC at least has to abide by the constitution (fourth admenment, hello?). What does HE360 have to abide by? Entire company is full of ex-IC contractors and government employees. So.. they’ve essentially taken government tech and now trying to resell it to them? Surprised there isn’t more outrage. These guys will get hacked and a country with no SIGINT program will suddenly have access to an entire constellation. Nice.
I'm a huge user of mkdocs and totally love it.

The FBI's evidence wasn't strong enough to even try him for this. Charges were dropped. If it happened the way the FBI said initially it would have been open and shut. But I guess they lied about what they had.
The US is the 32nd worst country in the world for gun violence, with 4.12 incidents per 100k population per year. That's a terrible comparison.

You should compare it to other countries instead. To me, an Irish person (ranked 157 at 0.18 per 100k) living in Vietnam (ranked 173 at 0.12 incidents per 100k), the gun violence in Sweden sounds shockingly high.

Although it's actually only a bit higher than Ireland at position 149, 0.25 per 100k.

I always get a used phone (2-3 years old) that is officially supported by LineageOS. I've made good experiences with Motorola Moto G phones. A good alternative are Pixels or OnePlus. My current phone is a Motorola Moto G6 Plus, which was released in 2018, now running LineageOS 20 (Android 13) just fine.
Lockdown mode is largely concerned with reducing attack surface for sophisticated remote attackers. The threat model is pretty different from this kind of stalkerware.
Not really. It appears the idea originated wholly with Ulbricht, who stated:

he needed the "real world identity so I can threaten him with violence if he
were to release any names... FriendlyChemist is a liability and I wouldn’t mind if he was executed... negotiating the logistical details of the murder, Ulbricht agreed to pay Redandwhite $150,000 in Bitcoins to kill FriendlyChemist. DPR paid Redandwhite, who later confirmed that he had received the payment and carried out the murder, and sent what appeared to be a photo of the dead victim to DPR. DPR replied that he had received the picture and deleted it,” and thanked Redandwhite for his “swift action.” [1]

Ulbricht initiated the exchange, and in other related reporting appears to defend himself only by noting that the murders didn't actually take place. As such it was a sting operation only in so far as Ulbricht, endeavoring to threaten &/or murder people, had those efforts intercepted by law enforcement before they could get to someone who would actually carry them out. It does not appear to be a case of entrapment where law enforcement was trying incite Ulbricht, urging him on to actions he would not otherwise have taken on his own. Because, again, he was the initiator.

At this time, I'd get a device on which I can install GrapheneOS:

I think we are still a long way from "delivered".

This is a proposal by the Commission. Next this needs to be approved by the European Parliament and Council. Then the ECB needs to decide on all the details (technical and otherwise). Then the ECB needs to build, test and deploy the system. Banks will still play a role so they will need to build, test and deploy their part as well. Then the system needs to work well enough and see sufficient adoption to be actually useful.
A Pixel with GrapheneOS works well for me. It seems like the best compromise at the moment.

Tolstoy was an aristocrat and most people commenting here are functionally in the same position; that is, largely able to choose which substances they consume - or choose not to consume them at all.

This is not the case for the vast majority of alcohol use throughout history. Historically, for lower class professions like farmers or factory workers, drinking was just something you did. It was something your father did, and his father did, etc. It was an inherited cultural trait, not a decision that an individual ruminated over.

Adding to that were exploitative practices against these workers by the providers of alcohol, in a way not dissimilar to the recent opioid crisis.

> Apple can do it because they lock you into their walled garden where they can double and triple dip on getting your money.

Nonsense.

It’s because they have all the expertise in-house anyway, they get extremely good terms due to their weight and negotiation, and they figure if you don’t change phone now you might do so next year and they’ll get your money anyway. There’s no brand loyalty on the Android side, and fostering it seems impossible (even brand recognition efforts don’t seem to do much).

It’s too late for that. On YouTube even if you pay for premium, you still get ads in the form of sponsored segments, and probably in the recommendation algorithm (I’d be surprised if big corps had no way to pay to bump their videos in search results).

More and more platforms will try the « paid subscription with ads » in the coming years.

Asa Canadian, I can safely say that any other country's news coverage would be better than the cesspool of US news would be on the table.

This isn't a one way street either. Entrenched big tech use news and any other carrot to keep people locked into their closed platforms. Google Search, Google News, Facebook etc.. are just that much more ripe for disruption having one less bullet to keep the average person plugged into their walled gardens.

All antique firearms which are, sold, transferred, purchased or possessed as `curiosities` or `ornaments` are exempt (under section 58(2)) from the licensing and restrictions of use provisions in the Firearms Act 1968.

Anyone in possession of an antique firearm must be able to demonstrate that it is an antique fiream.

Prohibited person are not allowed to possess an antique firearm (essentially people with suspended sentences | within five years of completion of a sufficiently severe prison sentence | a person who has served a term of
imprisonment of over three years can never possess a firearm, including an air weapon or antique firearm or ammunition) unless they apply for and are granted an exemption.

Title made it confusing: how did bitbucket even have users' SSH keys?

However, it seems to be about their host keys. The article seems down for me, but https://bitbucket.org/blog/ has a title "ACTION REQUIRED: Update your Bitbucket Cloud SSH Host Keys".

That means that you need to drop their entries from your known_hosts file or you risk a MITM attack on an insecure network.

Considering we usually blindly accept new SSH hosts without checking for fingerprints (eg on new or reinstalled machines), it's probably unlikely this will be exploited in the wild since it already could have been.

Sadly, nope. And I'm not even on a MBP M2, just a maxed out MBA M1, The best laptop I ever had. Processing power is more than enough for what I develop, and after more than two years I can still easily work my day with a single charge.
