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.

Automation is good. People make or break a project. ThanksJoel. Coding the right tests is hard, but infinitely valuable. "Cutting edge development" describes the processes and principles, not the technologies. Software must be tested in a representative environment. Knowing the gaps between marketing and reality in your vendor's software is valuable. The timing of a discussion directly influences its outcome. Metrics are useful but can be gamed.

All new programming tutorials start with "Hello, World!" This is not actually a programming tutorial, but the hope is to share a piece of information which could be useful for someone. I wanted to start with "Hello, World!" anyway. This is a project I delayed a very long time, and now it is time. I will try to cover a diverse set of topics including Programming Languages, Touch Typing, Editors, Note Taking and a lot more.

Hey everyone! Fedora 22 is on the cusp of being released and the Fedora Cloud Working Group has elected to organize a test day for May 7th in order to work out some bugs before shipping it off to the rest of the world. With a new release comes some new features and tools. We are working on Vagrant images as well as a testing tool called Tunir. Joe Brockmeier has a nice writeup about Vagrant and Kushal Das maintains some docs on Tunir.
