Everyone’s a (Perl) critic, and you can be too!
The perlcritic tool is often your first defense against “awkward, hard to read, error-prone, or unconventional constructs in your code,” per its description. It’s part of a class of programs historically known as linters, so-called because like a clothes dryer machine’s lint trap, they “detect small errors with big effects.” (Another such linter is perltidy, which I’ve referenced in the past.)

Structural pattern matching in Python 3.10
In the meantime, I thought I’d get to know the feature better by writing up my thoughts and some code examples in article form. As you can gather, I’m rather biased, but I’ll try to present the positives as well as just criticism.
The pattern matching feature has no fewer than three PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals) to describe it: [...]

Emmanuele Bassi: Properties, introspection, and you
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a GObject class in possession of a property, must be in want of an accessor function.
The main issue with that statement is that it’s really hard to pair the GObject property with the accessor functions that set the property’s value, and retrieve it.
From a documentation perspective, tools might not establish any relation (gtk-doc), or they might require some additional annotation to do so (gi-docgen); but at the introspection level there’s nothing in the XML or the binary data that lets you go from a property name to a setter, or a getter, function. At least, until now.
GObject-introspection 1.70, released alongside GLib 2.70 and GNOME 41, introduced various annotations for both properties and methods that let you go from one to the other; additionally, new API was added to libgirepository to allow bindings to dynamic languages to establish that relation at run time.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The 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.
