Just published a new #metrics collector for #rust that I'm pretty proud of! The naive measurement in the examples reports about 12 bytes per entry in the time series.

New blog post: "What Is the Mayor's Job?"

Before I start my upcoming series on Mayor Frey's record, I clear up what the mayor is actually responsible for and why some people don't want us to know.

What Is the Mayor’s Job?
Why should you know this? Because a lot of people don’t want you to.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

I saw someone pointing out that the left wants to feed a 100 children just so one child doesn’t go hungry and republicans don’t want to feed a hundred children in case one of them don’t deserve it.
