    [$] Building a Flutter application (part 2)
    Our previous article explored
    the fundamentals of Flutter, a
    cross-platform open-source user-interface (UI) toolkit. We complete our
    introduction of Flutter by returning to the simple LWN RSS feed headline viewer that was
    introduced in part one. We will be adding several new features to that
    application in part two, including interactive elements to demonstrate some
    of the UI features of Flutter.

    [$] Software and hardware obsolescence in the kernel
    Adding code to the kernel to support new hardware is relatively easy.
    Removing code that is no longer useful can be harder, mostly because it can
    be difficult to know when something is truly no longer needed. Arnd
    Bergmann, who removed support for eight
    architectures     from the kernel in 2018, knows well just how hard this
    can be. At the 2020 Linux
    Plumbers Conference    , he led two sessions dedicated to the topic of
    obsolete software and hardware. With a bit of effort, he said, it should
    be possible to have a better idea of when something can be removed.
