The kernel developers are generally quite good about responding to security problems. Once a vulnerability in the kernel has been found, a patch comes out in short order; system administrators can ...

It used to be that building the Linux kernel was not easy. Testing and debugging were even worse. Nowadays, it is reasonably easy to build a custom kernel and test or debug it using virtualization.

Kernel methods represent a cornerstone in modern machine learning, enabling algorithms to efficiently derive non-linear patterns by implicitly mapping data into high‐dimensional feature spaces. At the ...
