Joint overnight leader Rickie Fowler had a nightmare Sunday, hitting seven bogeys to fall out of contention

From Arch:

The openblas package prior to version 0.3.23-2 doesn’t ship optimized
LAPACK routine and CBLAS/LAPACKE interfaces for compatibility. This
decision has been reverted now, and the ability to choose a different
default system BLAS/LAPACK implementation while keeping openblas
installed is now provided to allow future co-installation of BLIS,
ATLAS, etc.

The default BLAS implementation will be used for most packages like
NumPy or R. Please install “blas-openblas” and “blas64-openblas” to make
OpenBLAS the default BLAS implementation, just like the old behavior.

Unfortunately you will get errors on updating if you currently have
OpenBLAS installed as the default BLAS implementation:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency ‘blas’ required by cblas
:: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency ‘blas’ required by
lapack

Please append your preferred default BLAS implementation to the regular
-Syu command line to get around it. For example:

# pacman -Syu blas-openblas

or

# pacman -Syu blas

The European Commission has made a formal antitrust complaint against Google and its ad business. In a preliminary opinion, the regulator says Google has abused its dominant position in the digital advertising market. It says that forcing Google to sell off parts of its business may be the only remedy, if the company is found guilty of the charges. This would be a significant move targeting the main source of the search giant’s revenue, and a rare example of the EU recommending divestiture at this stage in an investigation. The Commission has already fined Google over three prior antitrust cases, but has only previously imposed “behavioral” remedies — changes to its business practices. Music to my ears. Companies exist to serve society, and if they no longer serve society by becoming too large, too powerful, and too wealthy, thereby massively restricting competition, they must be chopped up into smaller parts to create breathing room in the market. Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft – and that’s just the tech sector – all need to be broken up to allow newcomers to fairly compete. The US has taken similar actions with railroads, oil, airplanes, and telecommunications, and the technology market should be no different.

Baskets, panneaux photovoltaïques ou batteries, certains objets sont très difficiles à recycler parce qu’ils sont faits de nombreuses couches de différents matériaux… Au laboratoire ICMCB à Bordeaux, une équipe de scientifiques utilise les fluides supercritiques pour séparer les éléments. C’est un domaine entre le solide et le gazeux où les propriétés des matériaux sont étonnantes. Avec la participation de : Cyril Aymonier (CNRS), Jacob Olchowka (CNRS) et Thomas Voisin (IDELAM) de l’Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux (ICMCB, CNRS/Institut polytechnique de Bordeaux/Université de Bordeaux)

The
OpenBSD project
has released
version 7.3.0p0
of OpenSMTPD, the project’s
SMTP
server.
The
announcement
reads in part:

Changes in this release:
========================

Includes the following security fixes:
  - OpenBSD 7.2 errata 20 "smtpd(8) could abort due to a
    connection from a local, scoped ipv6 address"
  - OpenBSD 7.2 errata 22 "Out of bounds accesses in libc resolver"

Configuration changes:
  - The certificate to use is now selected by looking at the names
    found in the certificates themselves rather than the `pki` name.
    The set of certificates for a TLS listener must be defined
    explicitly by using the `pki` listener option multiple times.
