Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for October 27, 2022
- An ordered set for Python?: unlike other fundamental Python data types, sets do not implement ordering. The community is considering changing that through the addition of an OrderedSet type to the standard library.
- The Ghost publishing system: a free system for newsletter-oriented self-publishers.
- Would you like signs with those chars?: a fundamental change to the C language model used by the kernel.
- More flexible memory access for BPF programs: infrastructure to allow BPF programs to manage memory regions whose size is not known at load time.
- Accessing QEMU storage features without a VM: the qemu-storage-daemon makes a number of interesting things possible.
This week's edition also includes these inner pages:
- Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
- Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.
