ADBC drivers in #Java? Yes. The latest release of ADBC adds a JNI layer that lets Java apps load drivers, run queries, and fetch results fast in @arrow.apache.org format. Read the new blog post from @ian.columnar.tech and David Li for examples and perf comparisons vs. JDBC. Link in comments👇

Hanami 2.3 is out! This is a fantastic release, with improvements all across the stack, but the thing I’m most proud of is the whopping THIRTY TWO Rubyists who’ve chosen to contribute and make Hanami better. Thank you everyone! 🥰
🌸 Hanami 2.3 is here, and it’s racked and ready!

This is our biggest release yet. Rack 3, resource routes, and so much more.

Watching some of the most talented open source maintainers I know unknowingly review AI slop PRs makes me really sad. I wish we had better tools on GitHub for detection.

Between @python.org and @carpentries.carpentries.org, the open-source ecosystem is rejecting the administration's inquisition against DEI. If you can support them with a donation please do. I just did!

Does anyone know about others who have declined NIH or NSF grant funding over over these terms?
TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-...

I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI
