    PHP in 2019
    Here's a blog post from
    "Brent"     on how PHP deserves another look. "Today I want to look at the bright side: let's focus on the things that have changed and ways to write clean and maintainable PHP code. I want to ask you to set aside any prejudice for just a few minutes.

    Afterwards you're free to think exactly the same about PHP as you did before. Though chances are you will be surprised by some of the improvements made to PHP in the last few years.    "

    [$] The future of Docker containers
    Michael Crosby is one of the most influential developers working on Docker
    containers today, helping to lead development of containerd as well as serving as the Open Container Initiative (OCI)
    Technical Oversight Chair. At DockerCon 19, Crosby led a
    standing-room-only session, outlining the past, present and — more
    importantly — the future of Docker as a container technology. The early
    history of Docker is closely tied with Linux and, as it turns out, so too is
    Docker's future.

    [$] Common needs for Samba and NFS

    Amir Goldstein led a discussion on things that the two major network filesystems for Linux, Samba and NFS, could cooperate on at the end of day one of the 2019 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory-Management Summit. In particular, are there needs that both filesystems have that the kernel is not currently providing? He had some ideas of areas that might be tackled, but was looking for feedback from the assembled filesystem developers.

    An MDS reading list
    We contemplated putting together an LWN article on the "microarchitectural data sampling" (MDS) vulnerabilities, as we've done for past speculative-execution issues. But the truth of the matter is that it's really more of the same, and there is a lot of material out there on the net already. So, for those who would like to learn more, here's a list of resources.

    [$] A panel with the new Python steering council

    Over the past year, Python has moved on from the benevolent dictator for life (BDFL) governance model since Guido van Rossum stepped down from that role. In February, a new steering council was elected based on the governance model that was adopted in December. At PyCon 2019 in Cleveland, Ohio, the five members of the steering council took the stage for a keynote panel that was moderated by Python Software Foundation (PSF) executive director Ewa Jodlowska.
