During EmacsConf 2024, which was held online in early December 2024, Ramin Honary gave a talk about Project Gypsum, which is his effort to rewrite Emacs in Scheme. Unlike most other Emacs clones, which simply replicate the key bindings, Gypsum is also implementing Emacs Lisp...
From the Ubuntu Discourse instance comes the sad news that longtime Debian and Ubuntu contributor Steve Langasek has passed away. Steve passed away at the dawn of 2025. His time was short but remarkable. He will forever remain an inspiration. Judging by the outpouring of...

Linus has released 6.13-rc6 for testing. So we had a slight pickup in commits this last week, but as expected and hoped for, things were still pretty quiet. About twice as many commits as the holiday week, but that's still not all that many. I expect things will start...

We are reliably informed by the calendar that yet another year has begun. That can only mean one thing: the time has come to go out on a limb with a series of ill-advised predictions that are almost certainly not how the year will actually go. We have to try; it's...

While some people are focused on new and trendy languages, José Marchesi has, instead, gifted the world with a GCC front end for the Algol 68 language. This WIP is a GCC front-end for Algol 68, the fascinating, generally poorly understood and often vilified programming...

Version 22.1 of the Android-based LineageOS distribution is out. We've been hard at work since Android 15's release in September, adapting our unique features to this new version of Android. Android 15 introduced several complex changes under the hood, but due to our...

Kees Cook describes his work resulting in a kernel documentation commit whose ID shares the same first 12 characters as the initial commit in the kernel's repository. This is not yet in the upstream Linux tree, for fear of breaking countless other tools out in the wild....
The origins of the TCP and UDP network protocols can be traced back a full 50 years. Even though networks and their use have changed radically since those protocols were designed, they can still be found behind most networking applications. Unsurprisingly, these protocols...

Continuing its tradition of yearly major releases on December 25, the Ruby programming-language project has released Ruby 3.4.0 (followed quickly by 3.4.1, which simply updates the version number). Ruby 3.4 includes lots of changes, including the addition of it as a...
