67 The <a href="http://julialang.org/">Julia</a> programming language has
68 seen a major increase in its use and popularity over the last few years.
69 We last <a
70 href="https://lwn.net/Articles/763626/">looked at it</a> two years ago, around the time of the <a
71 href="https://julialang.org/blog/2018/08/one-point-zero/">Julia&nbsp;1.0
72 release</a>. Here, we will look at some of the changes since that release,
73 none of which are major, as well as some newer resources for learning the
74 language, but the main focus of this article is a case study that is meant
75 to help show why the language has been taking off. A follow-up article
76 will introduce a new computational notebook for Julia, called <a
77 href="https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl">Pluto</a>, that is akin to <a
78 href="https://lwn.net/Articles/746386/">Jupyter notebooks</a>.

102 Matrix blog entry</a> describes a planned reputation-management system
103 that, it is claimed, accomplishes some of the same goals as government
104 backdoors without the need to compromise end-to-end encryption.
105 "<span>Just like the Web, Email or the Internet as a whole, there is
106 literally no way to unilaterally censor or block content in Matrix. But
107 what we can do is provide first-class infrastructure to let users (and
108 room/community moderators and server admins) make up their own mind about
109 who to trust, and what content to allow. This would also provide a means
110 for authorities to publish reputation data about illegal content, providing
111 a privacy-respecting mechanism that admins/mods/users can use to keep
112 illegal content away from their servers/clients.</span>"

122 Version 2.29.0 of the Git source-code management system is out. This
123 release includes a long list of smallish improvements; click below for the
124 details. Also present is the code enabling Git to <a

126 feature is still deemed experimental, though, and interoperability with

138 Applications that run on the Linux desktop have changed significantly
139 under the hood in recent years; for example, they use more processes than
140 before. Desktop environments need to adapt to this change. During <a
141 href="https://akademy.kde.org/2020">Akademy 2020</a>, KDE developers David
142 Edmundson and Henri Chain delivered a talk (<a

145 starting to use advanced kernel features to give users more control over
146 their systems. This talk complements a presentation by GNOME developers that

237 href="https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Arm%20Developer%20Community/PDF/Arm_Memory_Tagging_Extension_Whitepaper.pdf">the
238 Arm v8.5 memory tagging extension [PDF]</a>. By adding a "key" value to
239 pointers, this mechanism enables the automated detection of a wide range of
240 memory-safety issues. The result should be safer and more secure code —
241 once support for the feature shows up in actual hardware.

274 We have <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/694830/">looked</a> at the problem of
275 confusingly named packages in repositories such as the <a
276 href="https://pypi.org/">Python Package Index</a> (PyPI) before. In general,
277 malicious actors create these packages with names that can be mistaken for those of
278 legitimate packages in the repository in a form of
279 "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typosquatting">typosquatting</a>".
280 Since our 2016 article, the problem has not gone away—no
281 surprise—but there has been some recent analysis of it, as well as
282 some efforts to combat it.
