Yet on Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market, traders have wagered vast sums on longshot contracts with historical returns as low as 43 cents on the dollar. Thousands of participants are voluntarily accepting expected values far lower than a casino slot machine to bet on their convictions.

44. Understanding ZFS Scrubs and Data Integrity
ZFS scrubs are a core part of how ZFS ensures data integrity. By walking the entire pool, verifying every block against its checksum, and repairing minor corruption early, scrubs prevent silent data loss before it becomes catastrophic. This article explains how scrubs work, how to interpret zpool status output, and how regular scrubbing supports long-term reliability in production ZFS systems.

48. How we made Python's packaging library 3x faster
Along with a pip (and now packaging) maintainer, Damian Shaw, I have been working on making packaging, the library behind almost all packaging related tools, faster at reading versions and specifiers, something tools like pip have to do thousands of times during resolution. Using Python 3.15’s new statistical profiler and metadata from every package ever uploaded to PyPI, I measured and improved core Packaging constructs while keeping the code readable and simple. Reading in Versions can be up to 2x faster and SpecifierSets can be up to 3x faster in packaging 26.0rc1, now released! Other operations have been optimized, as well, up to 5x in some cases. See the announcement and release notes too; this post will focus on the performance work only.
