> RACE is a native macOS terminal multiplexer written in Rust.
Pretty sure they are not targeting the general population with this product.

Last year I became the volunteer coordinator for my kid's school PTA. They had been using Sign Up Genius for years. I spent a full year fighting a paid tool, gave up, and re-wrote it.
Now https://voluntold.fyi exists, and I never need to remember to manually move my single $100/year "ad free signup" off an event that has already happened to one that is coming next week.

noTunes is one of the first things I install on a new mac.

There's a book that changed a lot of the way I think about attention and media [0]. The book isn't very good, but it flags something relevant here. There is a huge asymmetry between the reach of a big, flashy announcement (here: bun was re-written in memory-safe rust in a couple weeks), and the relatively small reach of a correction (often just a footnote on an old article, here a GH issue).
This asymmetry is well understood by marketing and PR professionals, and actively exploited.

Veho | ONSITE / HYBRID 3 days per week | NYC or Boston | No Visa | https://shipveho.com/careers
Hi there! At Veho, we don't sell software. We ship packages. Lots of them. We have all of the interesting problems that crop up when running twinned distributed systems in AWS and the real world. It's pretty great.
We're hiring staff-level folks (L4+) in NYC and Boston: Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Mobile Engineers, and Backend Engineers (typescript).
Personally, I'm hiring a Staff Data Engineer with the depth of experience to be a technical lead and mentor for the Data Platform team, while also shipping code. You will need to understand distributed data systems both intellectually and at an instinctive, emotional level. You should have Opinions about the wild boar book. You should probably also be comfortable writing and debugging English, SQL, and Python.
If that sounds like you, I really want you to apply for the Staff Data Engineer role on our career page. Our inbound applications are reviewed by humans.
With apologies that our first interaction requires this silliness: including one of the 7-digit numbers from the "ROS Calculator" on Veho's website in the appropriate box will heavily bias me towards believing you are a human being. That's more of an advantage than it may seem! It's worth the thirty seconds. It would also speed things along if you populate the "Location" field to confirm you are aware this is an in-office role.

Like Unison [0], but buggier.

It is 2025 and CSVs still dominate data interchange between organizations.

It's called upcoding. It's been happening with or without AI or SV's help for well over 40 years. [0]
Interestingly, whistleblowers can recoup a big chunk of the recovered funds in a False Claims Act suit when medical providers do this to defraud Medicaid / Medicare [1]. Could be a lucrative long-term play if you get employed at a company whose sole purpose is helping hospital chains bill for care that an AI thinks may have been provided.

The US Government did a study in the 1950s and discovered that the damage done to a roadway by a car is proportional to the fourth power of its axle weight.

Super heated water is a pretty effective disinfectant within the pipes. For interior spaces ventilation is a legitimate problem in non-forced-air systems.
Historically, you open a window.

The shadow druids are gaining a foothold in Silicon Valley circles, it seems.

It seems intentional, though?
* There's an animation hiding it.
* If you disable javascript, the content doesn't load.
* Copying is disabled.
* There's some kind of javascript function constantly toggling state so that if you right-click inspect, the content div collapses before you can further unroll it.
Someone really wanted users to see the article, then watch it disappear, and make them feel a sense of loss.

This paywall product must have required a staggering amount of work. And yet, the entire text of the article is right there in the network tab.
Why send it over the wire, then try to hide it?
