A record 12.7 million young people are looking for jobs as the country embraces artificial intelligence — and as the technology begins to upend the work force.

Republicans in Washington are rolling back federal workplace heat protections as summer temperatures surge.
The Trump administration is moving to rewrite Biden-era rules that would mandate breaks and access to water and shade for workers,

Sharing big R objects across processes shouldn’t mean copying them over and over.
mori uses shared memory ALTREP to give you zero-copy access—multiple processes, one underlying object.
Fast, memory-efficient, and built for modern parallel workflows.

Shared Memory for R Objects
Share R objects across processes on the same machine via a single copy in POSIX shared memory (Linux, macOS) or a Win32 file mapping (Windows). Every process reads from the same physical pages through the R Alternative Representation (ALTREP) framework, giving lazy, zero-copy access. Shared objects serialize compactly as their shared memory name rather than their full contents.
