PoC: Improving macro build times with WebAssembly

Performance The repo offers two WebAssembly runners, one wit…

Ron Rivera names Saquon Barkley, D’Andre Swift as potential solutions to Dallas Cowboys’ RB needs
Heading into the offseason, the Dallas Cowboys will not have a starting running back. Tony Pollard is a free agent and even backup Rico Dowdle is hitting the open market. Running the ball was not exactly the strength of Mike McCarthy’s offense but replacements are needed. Former Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera has an idea, suggesting Dallas dips its toe into the NFC East waters. He suggests going after either Giants RB Saquon Barkley or Eagles RB D’Andre Swift in free agency. Br…

For the first four games of the 2023 season, the linebacker room was as rock solid as any in the NFL. Then came Trent Williams' dirty play in a Week 5 loss to the 49ers. The offensive lineman shoved Leighton Vander Esch head first into the path of Micah Parsons. The collision sent Vander Esch to the turf and then out of the game. He never played another down in 2023.
