| | As was pointed out to us stable kernel maintainers last week, the overflow of the .y release number was going to happen soon, and our proposed solution for it (use 16 bits instead of 8), turns out to be breaking a userspace-visable api. As we can't really break this, I did a release of the 4.4.256 and 4.9.256 releases today that contain nothing but a new version number. See the links for the full technical details if curious.

| | I had a problem recently where Eclipse couldn't find my source files when remote debugging a particular application. It would stop and the breakpoint and show the class file with a "attach source" button, but pointing it to the source directory didn't do anything. It turns out that the solution was to add the project to the remote debug configuration. This is done by "Run -> Debug configurations..." Choose the remote config from the tree on the left Click on the "Source" tab Click on the "Add..." button Follow the wizard.

| | I've never hid the fact I try to make my 'stuff' accessible for folks. It's A Thing for me and I've spent considerable time working on this blog to maximize it's utility and accessibility. I should be in generally good shape overall and I wanted to share a few links for how I pulled this off. I ran ARC Toolkit (link) as my first pass with WAVE (link) as a second pass. I also looked at axe (link) but have not run it locally yet. These tools seem to give good results on the whole and will cover the core needs from what I can figure out so far.
