Oracle led the line-count race in the Linux 6.1 kernel release—beating out flashier open source names. Most of its work isn’t headline material. It’s deep-core stuff: memory management tweaks, block device updates, the quiet machinery real systems run on...

Pinterest hit a weird one-in-a-million query mismatch during its search infra move to Kubernetes. The culprit? A slippery timing bug.
