The Fall

Zoals verwacht is het woensdag erg druk geworden op de weg in de avondspits. Volgens de ANWB was het zelfs de drukste spits van het jaar met meer dan 1000 kilometer file. Dat kwam door een combinatie van woon-werkverkeer en recreatieverkeer in aanloop naar het lange hemelvaartweekend.

Zoals verwacht is het woensdag heel druk op de weg in de avondspits, meldt de ANWB. Het komt door een combinatie van woon-werkverkeer en recreatieverkeer, met het oog op het lange hemelvaartweekend. Op de A16 richting Breda stond rond 16:00 uur al een file van een uur vanaf het knooppunt Ridderkerk.

IBM's effort to bring in-kernel Rust to its mainframe platform has taken a step forward, although anyone hoping to use it on production iron will need to be comfortable with a nightly Rust compiler for now. Engineer Jan Polensky has submitted a patch series titled "s390: enable Rust support and add required arch glue." If accepted, it will allow Rust code to be used in the Linux kernel on IBM mainframe hardware, which the kernel still refers to as s390 after the generation of IBM mainframe kit introduced in 1990. He notes: For now, using a nightly build of the Rust compiler does not sound to us like the sort of thing many conservative mainframe shops are likely to embrace with enthusiasm, but even big new features have to start somewhere. This is a significant step. When Rust was introduced into the kernel in 2022, The Register mentioned a problem that we rarely see raised elsewhere: while the kernel is generally compiled with GCC, the standard Rust compiler, rustc, is based on LLVM instead. Wikipedia has a list of LLVM backends, and although there are a growing number, it's a shorter list than GCC's 48. There is an experimental GCC front-end for Rust but it's not ready for the prime time yet. The Linux kernel itself has supported compilation using LLVM since kernel 6.9 over two years ago. At the moment, the kernel development team is still working on version 7.1, which at the time of writing is still on release candidate 3 – so relatively early days. Last month, we reported on its new NTFS driver and the removal of some fairly ancient hardware support. The final version of Linux 7.1 will probably appear about halfway through 2026, meaning that kernel 7.2 is still quite far off. It might be in time to appear in Ubuntu 26.10 – but then again, we suspect that very few IBM mainframe customers use interim Ubuntu releases. ®

The warrant, which police have not confirmed, is reportedly connected to comments Ben Wallace made at the Warsaw Security Forum last year.

De brandstichting in Loosdrecht was absoluut geen los incident, betoogt Jelle Postma. Volgens hem worden de rellen rond azc’s aangejaagd door populistische politiek, sociale media en extreemrechtse netwerken. En politici zwijgen bewust over de vluchtelingen die zich in het gebouw bevonden.

• Niners-Rams open in September at MCG

• London will stage three games in October

The NFL revealed the matchups for all nine international games on Wednesday, with the Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers each playing two contests.

The league’s most ambitious global schedule to date spans seven countries and four continents, including its Australia debut (Week 1 in Melbourne) and its first game in France (Week 7 in Paris).

A map of the regions of the US, as voted on by Reddit users. I think this seems mostly correct? One funny artifact: Washington state got some votes for “Northeast”, probably because ppl confused it with D.C. or with “Northwest”.
