While I’m unsure I’ll be using Swift for the rest of my life, I’ll continue to work on my little tool to detect unused code for as long as I can. It’s my most popular open-source contribution, and it brings me joy knowing others find it useful.

I believe this is the idea behind the Brave browser and their Basic Attention Token https://basicattentiontoken.org

One some larger roundabouts in the UK (and no doubt other European countries), they have traffic lights on the roundabout, between exits (I'm not talking about the entry lights). If one exit is totally blocked, these lights can allow traffic to continue out of other exits.

I hear the argument "Americans don't understand roundabouts, therefore we wont build any" quite often in these kinds of articles. If you survey people about something they've never comes across before, of course you're going to get negative results.
If Americans can drive and talk on their cell phones, they can handle a roundabout.

My initial reaction was acquihire. Though given their recent improvements to Pages [1], this acquisition could mean a push into the Easel market space.
EDIT: Just to point out why this is a big deal - What percentage of new sites are mostly static, presentational? Probably a slim minority. Whilst Github can't code your site for you (yet?), giving you the tools to develop your app layer and frontend - with some as-of-yet seen integration tools? - those are some very large slices of the pie. Don't forget Github pages is currently free too, perhaps there'll be a paid tier for dynamic sites.
