Full Story comments: 8. Upcoming Intel processors will feature a new set of instructions under the name of "Advanced Matrix Extensions" AMX that can be used to operate on matrix data.
After a somewhat bumpy development process, support for AMX has found its way into the upcoming 5. Using it will, naturally, require some changes by application developers. That optimization work has continued since then, and those 3.
A recent disagreement over the addition of a new feature has highlighted the potential cost of a heavily optimized block layer, though; when is a feature deemed important enough to outweigh the drive for maximum performance? Full Story comments: 7. That is probably a little over half of what will arrive during this merge window, so this is a good time to catch up on what has been pulled so far.
There are many significant changes and some large-scale restructuring of internal kernel code, but relatively few ground-breaking new features. Full Story comments: none. While the specifics of the flaw are new, this kind of trickery is not completely novel, but Trojan Source finds another way to confuse the humans who are in the loop.
A feature recently proposed for Fedora 36—currently scheduled for the end of April —would embed information into the binaries themselves to show where they came from. It is part of a multi-distribution effort to standardize how this information is stored in the binaries and the libraries they use to assist crash-reporting and other tools.
I visited this link, and learned quite a bit. They provide coverage of issues pertaining to development, legality, commercial business, security, etc. When asked where they get most of their information, they said that they spend an unbelievable amount of time wandering the net looking for stories to cover for their readership. They also say that they are heavily dependent upon their readers for tip-offs to good news stories. I also learned that the website is mostly supported through subscription fees, though they also bring in a small amount of money in through advertising.
I also learned what LWN actually meant… which was awesome, because I was really starting to wonder. With that being said, they have yet to come up with a better meaning for the name LWN, so they keep it anyway! Now, at this point, I decided that it was probably time to examine some of the content on LWN… so that is what I did next.
As I mentioned before, it is a good idea to take a close look at the content a site has already published when you are thinking of pitching to them… so that is what I did here.
So, most of the content on this site can only be viewed by members. You can view some of their archived articles, but the Weekly Edition blog and most of the other new, relevant content, including the articles shown on the landing page when you first visit, are locked and you can only unlock them with a subscription.
You can, however, read the beginnings of some of the articles on the landing page, which is nice. This, coupled with reading through some archived content, gave me some pretty good information about what the content on this site usually looks like. The content seems very well done to me, but honestly, I know so little about these topics that I may as well be trying to read in French.
I know for certain that I will not be able to write for this site. I know nothing about Linux, or anything else that they cover here… and likely would not ever be able to learn enough about it through research unless I put some actual, real, very serious effort into actually getting into these things on a personal level.
This pattern is true for other highly technical sites, like ProfitF and Semaphoreci. But… the good news is that most people do not know what this stuff means… so writers who do know what this is all about have a definite advantage.
They also have access to the potential for an awesome side-hustle. Here is why. Our goal is to make LWN's content complete, concise, and informative with a high standard for quality. What does LWN. The front page is the entry point to LWN; there you will find the latest news and access to the rest of the site. The LWN. Specific sections cover headline news, security, kernel development, Linux distributions, free software development, Linux in business, and more.
The Security Alerts and Vulnerabilities databases contain the latest information on outstanding security issues and responses from Linux distributors.
