Russinovitch (Azure's CTO/CISO) gave a speech at RustConf 2025 and mentions it(DirectWriteCore) took 2 engineers 6 months resulting in 154K LOC and 5-15 percent performance increase for font shaping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDtMuS7BExE&list=PL2b0df3jKK...
Curious the direction of Webkit as there was a nebulous mention of select portions being rewritten from C++ to Swift. And yet, the new ECMAScript module (ESM) loader for Safari 27 is implemented in C++ (https://webkit.org/blog/17967/news-from-wwdc26-webkit-in-saf...).
This brings back painful yesteryear memories when consultants would push Microsoft Small Business Server for an on-prem all in one IT solution and charge extra to move to the cloud(colocation). A Linux-based alternative appeared named Clark Connect.
Continue to be impressed with the quality and quantity of work Mauro is putting out for this project. Transition to management with JMAP replacing REST and TOML for configuration is major and glad to see the decision made to do it.
JMAP for mail, contacts, calendar and files landed in Stalwart mail server about 5-6 months ago. In a discussion here on HN( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45672336 ), a member( @solarkraft ) floated the idea of using Stawart as the "server" implementation of JMAP and using something like mbsync to sync IMAP from their mail provider. And build a client on top of this Stalwart "server." This might very well be the client to serve as a way to use the new JMAP protocols and not self-host.
Created to work with Stalwart Mail server but from the FAQ:
(Does Bulwark work with non-Stalwart mail servers?
Bulwark communicates via the JMAP protocol (RFC 8620). Any mail server that implements JMAP should work. However, Stalwart is the primary tested backend and offers the best integration, including calendar, contacts, admin panel, and plugin management support. You can also configure custom JMAP server endpoints directly from the login page."
The two(2) H450s are in that unit cost range. The others and the Heron variants range to $40 million. A not insignificant number of Iranian aircraft(such as the US-produced F-5s and C-130s acquired before 1979's Revolution) are low unit costs comparably to the UAVs("drones") lost here.
Attrition compared to US materiel(not material - although that too greatly burdens cost to the US) depletion such as the aforementioned Patriot does not favor the US for sustained operations in theater(let alone should a second theater contingency operation occur).
Infor is huge in the ERP space and dates back to bigger iron days(mainframe and midrange - IBM AS/400). They acquired a lot of smaller players over the years which might be way they are somewhat unknown these days unless you date yourself to that era.
