Steinar H. Gunderson: plocate 1.1.12 released
plocate 1.1.12 has been released, with some minor bugfixes and a minor new option.
More interesting is that plocate is now one year old! plocate 1.0.0 was released October 11th, 2020, so I'm maybe getting a bit ahead of myself, but it feels like a good milestone. I haven't really achieved my goal of being in the default Debian install, simply because there is too much resistance to having a default locate at all, but it's now hit most major distributions (thanks to a host of packagers) and has largely supplanted mlocate in general.

Dirk Eddelbuettel: littler 0.3.14: Updates
The fifteenth release of littler as a CRAN package just landed, following in the now fifteen year history (!!) as a package started by Jeff in 2006, and joined by me a few weeks later.
littler is the first command-line interface for R as it predates Rscript. It allows for piping as well for shebang scripting via #!, uses command-line arguments more consistently and still starts faster. It also always loaded the methods package which Rscript only started to do in recent years.

Current issue : #70 | Release date : 2021-10-05
Phrack! We're back! It was only five years ago that issue 0x45 was released. It may sound bad, but it is also, indeed, quite bad. Issue 0x45 was released four years after issue 0x44. And we are now five years after that. Just trying to set the context here. The world is so different and so many things have happened in these five years that it makes no sense trying to make any point. Phrack has always been a reflection of the hacking community, and guess what, the community is moving away from itself. By this we don't mean that there are no talented hackers, because there most definitely are (just take a look at our authors). We also don't mean that there is no exquisite public hacking, because there is (again, our articles as proof). However, there is a clear move away from the collective hacking mindset that was most prevalent in the past. The word "scene" brings only smirks to people's faces. There are many reasons for this, and we are all to blame [1].
So where is the community right now, and, most importantly, where is it going?

LAMP is dead! Long live (Perl) web frameworks!
Certainly on the Perl side (with which I’m most familiar), the community has long since recommended the use of a framework built on the PSGI specification, deprecating 1990s-era CGI scripts and the modperl Apache extension. Although general-purpose web servers like Apache or Nginx may be part of an overall system, they’re typically used as proxies or load balancers for Perl-specific servers either provided by the framework or a third-party module.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
