LWN ☛ A new kernel testing tree
Sasha Levin has announced a
new tree that is intended to perform continuous-integration tests of pull
requests aimed at the mainline. The plan is for this tree to hold more
finished work than sometimes ends up in linux-next; in a name that seems
destined to create typographical confusion, it is called "linus-next".
The linus-next tree aims to provide a more stable and testable
integration point compared to linux-next, addressing the runtime
issues that make testing linux-next challenging and focusing on
code that's about to be pulled by Linus.

BoingBoing ☛ Decode Dots and Dashes in Morsle: The New Must-Play Word Game
When I played Morsle, I was greeted by an audio burst of dots and dashes zipping by at 40 words per minute. To my untrained ear, it sounded like an incomprehensible blur. My task? Figure out the five-letter word spelled out by the Morse Code. With 20 attempts at my disposal, I found that each replay slowed down the audio, gradually making it more decipherable. Today, I cracked the code at 15 words per minute — painfully slow, but oh so satisfying!
