Ways to Learn Python Fast & Efficiently
Python is a popular programming dialect in the twenty-first era. Understanding Python can help you advance in your computer engineering profession.
However, as a beginning, we often have problems choosing the best educational journey, and we usually wind up squandering a substantial amount of time trying to figure out which resource is the best. When most developers begin discovering new things, they frequently end up accumulating various courses on their computer or USB drive, which is not a good habit to pursue.

Python finally offloads some batteries [LWN.net]
Python has often been touted as a "batteries included" language because of its rich standard library that provides access to numerous utility modules and is distributed with the language itself. But those libraries need maintenance, of course, and that is provided by the Python core development team. Over the years, it has become clear that some of the modules are not really being maintained any longer and they probably are not really needed by most Python users—either because better alternatives exist or because they address extremely niche use cases. A long-running project to start the removal of those modules has recently been approved.
A 2018 Python Language Summit session was the start of Christian Heimes's quest to unplug some of the old batteries in the standard library. That discussion led to the first draft of PEP 594 ("Removing dead batteries from the standard library") in May 2019. It listed more than two dozen modules, scattered across the standard library, to consider for removal.
The PEP has been floating around in Python space since that time; in general, core developers have been favorably inclined toward the idea, though deciding exactly which modules would be removed was always difficult. The process of removing a module from the standard library starts with deprecation for two release cycles, followed by the actual removal. But the project has struggled with how to handle deprecations in the language over the last few years, as our Python article index entry shows.

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.
