[$] Accelerating the kernel's build process11 September 2026, 2:15 pm Kernel developers do a lot of kernel builds. Since the kernel is not a
small program, those builds can take a fair amount of time, even on a fast
machine. The kernel also has a complex build system; it is probably fair
to say that few developers truly understand it, and fewer still are willing
to try to improve it. Lorenzo Stoakes, armed with LLM-based assistance,
decided to give it a try, though, and has managed to reduce the time it
takes to build a kernel — and not by a small amount....

Liquid Glass GNOME Shell extension uses real refraction shaders10 September 2026, 8:19 pm You can now give the Ubuntu desktop a ‘Liquid Glass’ makeover using a new GNOME Shell extension that was written with ‘significant’ help from AI. Its developer, Ryosuke Watanabe, said they loved the look of Liquid Glass – Apple’s new design material that gives UI elements light-bending surfaces with depth and motion – but, not owning an Apple device, wanted a way to enjoy it on their Linux desktop. So they created an extension to do it. “The design, the shader math, the architect...

Why Your Backups Are Too Big: A Practical Guide to Content-Defined Chunking26 August 2026, 12:50 pm By Gilles Chehade You change one line in a large file. Your “incremental” backup re-uploads the whole thing anyway. Nine times out of ten, it’s not the network, and it’s not your storage backend. It’s the algorithm deciding where to cut your data into pieces. Every deduplication system works the same way: split data into […]

However, in-place resizing introduced a unique resource scheduling gap...
Kubernetes v1.37: Introducing Node Lifecycle Conditions9 September 2026, 6:30 pm Kubernetes has many ways to describe what is happening on a Node. Readiness,
taints, Pod state, labels, annotations, and provider-specific APIs each expose
part of the picture. What has been missing is a shared, Kubernetes-owned way to
say that a Node is draining,
undergoing maintenance, or undergoing Graceful Node Shutdown.
Kubernetes v1.37 introduces five well-known Node conditions
that provide that description:
DrainInProgress
Drained
MaintenancePlanned
MaintenanceInProgress
GracefulNodeShut...

Alpha feature gate, to scale from zero. It is now part of core Kubernetes.
Scaling to zero rem...
Kubernetes v1.37: etcd RangeStream Cuts Memory Use on Large List Reads1 September 2026, 6:30 pm I am excited to announce that etcd RangeStream is graduating to beta in
Kubernetes v1.37. Paired with etcd v3.7, it reduces the memory the API server and
etcd need to read a large collection, and makes peak usage more predictable.
The cost of large readsThe API server serves most list and watch requests from its in-memory watch cache.
Populating that cache requires reading a resource's full state from etcd, at
startup and on every re-initialization. For a resource with many objects, or large
one...
Kubernetes v1.37: Storage Version Migration Enabled by Default31 August 2026, 6:30 pm I am excited that storage version migration (SVM) has graduated to General Availability (GA) in Kubernetes v1.37!

How to Perform Response Verification in REST-Assured Java for API Testing: Part 211 September 2026, 7:00 pm API testing is an essential part of modern software development. While sending requests and receiving responses is straightforward, the real value of API automation comes from response verification. A test is meaningful only when it validates that the API returns the correct data, structure, status codes, and business rules.
In Java-based API automation, REST Assured combined with Hamcrest Matchers provides a clean and expressive way to verify API responses. These matchers help testers write rea...
When TypeScript Types Meet Untrusted AI: Building Type-Safe LLM Pipelines With Runtime Validation11 September 2026, 6:00 pm TypeScript can make an LLM integration look safer than it is. A function may promise Promise<Classification> and every branch may compile under strict settings, yet none of those guarantees prove that a model returned a valid Classification. TypeScript annotations are erased during compilation and do not alter runtime behavior, so data crossing an AI boundary remains untrusted until executable validation proves otherwise.
The practical goal is a pipeline in which model output becomes dom...
Your AI Coding Assistant Stopped Suggesting and Started Shipping. Now What?11 September 2026, 5:00 pm A few months ago, I saw something that made me rethink what coding assistants are actually capable of. A teammate was dealing with a frustrating race condition hidden deep inside a legacy service. It wasn't an obvious bug, and it had already taken quite a bit of time to investigate.
Instead of digging through the code manually again, he described the problem to a coding agent, started it, and stepped away for a coffee....
Why Continuous Application Security Testing Is No Longer Optional11 September 2026, 4:00 pm Your last pentest is already out of date. The moment you shipped new code after that report, your risk profile changed, and nobody re-tested it.

Instead of processing identical prompt segments repeatedly, prompt caching allows AI systems to reuse previously computed prompt representations, minimizing redundant computation. While tokenization converts text into tokens that the model und...
Replacing JSON With Protobuf in Your Microservice Mesh: A Zero-Downtime Migration Blueprint11 September 2026, 2:00 pm
When engineering teams build distributed systems, they naturally reach for REST over HTTP/1.1 with JSON payloads. JSON is readable, universally supported, and trivially easy to debug with any browser or proxy tool. For early-stage services handling modest traffic, that convenience is a genuine engineering asset.
But as microservice topologies scale toward hundreds of nodes handling tens of thousands of concurrent requests, text-based serialization frequently evolves from a minor convenience i...
Improving Repeated Analytics Workloads With Databricks Disk Cache11 September 2026, 1:00 pm In many analytics platforms, there are performance issues that do not always come from complex transformations. Sometimes the bottleneck is much simpler: the same large datasets are being read repeatedly from remote storage.
This pattern is common in shared analytics environments. A data engineering job reads a curated dataset to build aggregates. A BI refresh reads the same table again. A data science notebook filters the same records during exploration. Another scheduled workflow joins against...

How to Correctly Implement ‘Sneaky Throws’ in Java10 September 2026, 6:00 pm If you ask Java developers about the concept of ‘Sneaky Throws,’ I am almost sure there will be a couple of opinions that are quite differently expressed, but similar in their meaning.

LG Responds to TV Spying Allegations12 September 2026, 5:00 pm LG is pushing back against reports that its smart TVs are "spying" on users, saying wake-word detection happens locally and that features such as Automatic Content Recognition, voice recognition, and interest-based ads are optional. But critics note that researchers found TVs keeping logs of ambient conversations, and LG's response "did not address broader concerns about how much data it collects, who it shares it with, the potential for bad actors to exploit its features, or the misleading way ...

Little Mercury May Be Shrinking Faster Than Scientists Expected12 September 2026, 9:00 am A new study suggests Mercury may have shrunk about 30% more than scientists previously thought, losing as much as 14 miles in diameter as its interior cooled and contracted over billions of years. "That's significant for a planet barely 3,000 miles (4,900 kilometers) across," reports the Associated Press. From the report: Mercury's rough surface, continually reshaped by debris hurled from impact craters, may have hidden the true extent of the loss, according to the researchers whose findings app...

Male Fruit Fly Brain Trained to Play Doom12 September 2026, 1:00 am Last week, Google announced that it managed to produce a detailed 3D reconstruction of an adult male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system. A few days later a software engineer at Coinbase said the fly brain was being trained to play the original Doom. "Each Doom frame stimulates sensory neurons," says Alex Wormuth. "Neural activity is mapped to game controls. Damage triggers a stimulus to two PPL101 dopamine cells as reinforcement." Since then, the digital brain model has been repurposed...
PlayStation Ditched Hideo Kojima's 'Physint' on Budget Concerns, Missed Deadlines11 September 2026, 10:00 pm Sony reportedly pulled PlayStation funding from Hideo Kojima's upcoming espionage game Physint over concerns about its ballooning budget, missed deadlines, profitability, and the fact that it would not remain permanently exclusive to PlayStation. Kojima Productions has since struck a deal with Xbox, which plans to publish the game on both Xbox and PC. It's also secured film and television rights. Bloomberg reports: The new game, Physint, hasn't yet been shown publicly but excited fans when it wa...
US Legislators Complain About Secretive British Court and Apple Encryption11 September 2026, 8:00 pm Bruce66423 shares a report from The Guardian: A bipartisan pair of American politicians is telling Britain's most secretive court to stop hiding its handling of Apple's legal fight against a government demand to break into its customers' encrypted data, warning that Whitehall's taste for secrecy is 'needlessly' straining relations between the two allies. The letter (PDF), shared with the Guardian ahead of being sent to the investigatory powers tribunal (IPT) on Friday, is signed by the Democrati...
Altman Considers Slowing Down AI Development11 September 2026, 6:00 pm Bloomberg reports (paywalled) that Sam Altman told OpenAI employees the company is open to slowing the pace of AI development alongside other leading labs as concerns grow over increasingly capable systems and recent incidents in which models escaped human control.

New Linux “Steal Governor” Targets CPU Contention in Overcommitted Virtual Machines25 August 2026, 4:00 pm
by George Whittaker
Linux kernel developers are considering a new “steal governor” designed to improve performance when multiple virtual machines compete for limited physical CPU resources. The proposal uses the amount of CPU steal time observed inside a guest to dynamically reduce or expand the number of virtual CPUs on which that VM prefers to schedule work.
The feature is primarily aimed at heavily virtualized servers wher...

RHEL10 database migrations
I managed to migrate all but one database server in staging.
No particular problems with those and they are all on postgresql 18 now with
data page checksums enabled (well, except the single mariadb instance,
and it's on 10.11.18). Hopefully I can get the production ones
done in the next outage we have (probibly the week before final freeze).

Ankur Sinha: Neuroscience AI assistant updates: scope, funding, ideas, and a name: Klea8 September 2026, 4:16 pm
In a past post, I had written about my current project, where I am building an AI assistant for Neuroscience.
To quickly recap the motivation, for projects that we neuroscientists would like to undertake, including both experimental and modelling projects, we are often (even regularly) hampered by the question of "how are we going to carry out this investigation?"
This is because the methods/techniques/code that need to be implemented are non-trivial to create.

Breaking changes for all users of `varnish`, which is renamed to `vinyl-cache`25 May 2026, 4:58 am The Varnish project has renamed itself to Vinyl Cache.
We followed this rename with a new vinyl-cache package.
This upgrade results in breaking changes and users are advised to study these changes and how it affects them before following the replacement.
All references to "varnish" have been changed to "vinyl" in all binaries and directories.

Users upgrading from an existing kea installation should therefore run the following commands after the upgrade:

extensions or legacy-only behavior should test carefully and use
iptables-legacy if r...
NVIDIA 590 driver drops Pascal and lower support; main packages switch to Open Kernel Modules20 December 2025, 6:53 pm With the update to driver version 590, the NVIDIA driver no longer supports Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs or older. We will replace the nvidia package with nvidia-open, nvidia-dkms with nvidia-open-dkms, and nvidia-lts with nvidia-lts-open.

waydroid >= 1.5.4-3 update may require manual intervention6 November 2025, 12:35 am The waydroid package prior to version 1.5.4-2 (including aur/waydroid) creates Python byte-code files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process.
As a result, the upgrade may conflict with the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Tesla Model Y L vs BYD Tang EV: Which 6/7-Seater Electric SUV Is Better Value in the Philippines?25 June 2026, 3:09 am Two massive electric SUVs. Both seat six or more.

And both want to be the EV that finally convinces Filipino families to ditch gasoline forever.The Tesla Model Y L landed at ₱2,849,000. The BYD Tang EV has been here since 2023 at ₱3,321,000. That’s a ₱472,000 gap — in Tesla’s favor — which is not the pricing dynamic most people expected. The world’s ...

Quickly. With actual instructions on how to get it started.That email led to a blog post called “Will Real Python Hackers Please Stand Up,” which becam...

At the time, the state-of-the-art in Linux robotics was getting a wheeled platform to navigat...
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS vs. macOS 26 Tahoe: The Free OS That Rivals a Premium Experience6 April 2026, 10:04 am I’m writing this on a MacBook Air running macOS 26 Tahoe, and I keep glancing at my Mac Mini in the corner — the one running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.I’ve been a macOS user for a decade. I develop iOS apps. I’m neck-deep in the Apple ecosystem — iPhone, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, the whole cult membership.
