The question was enough of an outlier that it didn’t get any upvotes, but it did get an answer. Someone responded wit...

2025-05-31 On April 16, 2025, Apple released a patch for a bug in CoreAudio which they said was “Actively exploited in the wild.” This flew under the radar a bit.

Last week, I wrote on using my browser as a terminal emulator. The post caught a lot of attention on lobster.rs, and I received some interesting feedback.

Gleam is a type-safe and scalable language for the Erlang virtual machine and JavaScript runtimes. Today Gleam v1.11.0 has been published. 30% faster? Really?

Authors: Mark Raasveldt and Hannes Mühleisen DuckLake simplifies lakehouses by using a standard SQL database for all metadata, instead of complex file-based systems, while still storing data in open formats like Parquet. This makes it more reliable, faster, and easier to manage. Would you rather listen to the conten...
