This New Korean Rom-Com Feels Like a Throwback '80s Teen Movie in the Best Way

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures. While we've evolved since then (at least a tiny bit), there's something about some of those now-classic '80s movies that remains endearing even if some of the characters and plot details feel problematic or downright silly by today's standards.

Financial Experts Concerned That Driving Users Into Psychosis Will Be Bad for AI Investments

Behind the scenes of Bun Install

Running bun install is fast, very fast. On average, it runs ~7× faster than npm, ~4× faster than pnpm, and ~17× faster than yarn. The difference is especially noticeable in large codebases. What used to take minutes now takes (milli)seconds. These aren't just cherry-picked benchmarks. Bun is fast because it treats package installation as a systems programming problem, not a JavaScript problem. In this post we’ll explore what that means: from minimizing syscalls and caching manifests as binary,
