• The risks of embedded bare repositories in Git: embedding one Git repository inside another may seem strange, but there are reasons to do it — and potential risks that can result.
• Super Python (part 2): more discussion of how the Python super() function works and whether it should change.
• Handling messy pull-request diffstats: a solution to a common kernel-maintainer problem.
• Extending in-kernel TLS support: giving the kernel the ability to initiate TLS connections.
• An introduction to Linux audio plugin APIs: a comprehensive overview of the audio plugin landscape for Linux.

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:
