It's that thing that went around last week, of text with the first half of each word in bold. Supposedly improves reading speed or comprehension or both; I couldn't discern any difference in the sample text, so I'm making a way to test with larger blocks of text.

I've got a working algorithm, but it doesn't perfectly match. Refining it.

I feel like this example of null coalesce gotchas is lacking some pop. I need to find a gnarlier example. Ideas?

Current status: doing fun things with ReactHttpServer in Sculpin ...

Ah, here's the pertinent info.

Every time I hear about the "jamf" tool for corporate device management. Every time.
