The pidfd API has been added to the kernel over the last several years to provide a race-free way for processes to refer to each other. While the GNU C Library (glibc) gained basic pidfd support with the 2.36 release in 2022, it still lacks a complete solution for race-free...

As of this writing, 4,588 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline repository for the 6.6 kernel release. The 6.6 merge window, in other words, is just getting started. Nonetheless, a fair amount of significant work has already been pulled, so the time has...

A series of rabbit holes, some of which led to unshaved yaks, recently landed me on a book called Mastering Emacs. Given that I have been using Emacs 'professionally' for more than 16 years—and first looked into it a good ways into the previous century—I should probably...

'Sugar' is, to a certain extent, in the eye of the beholder—at least when it comes to syntax. Programming languages are often made up of a (mostly) irreducible core, with lots of sugary constructs sprinkled on top—the syntactic sugar. No one wants to be forced to do...
