Confirmed as not a joke. (The change is subtle as you have to click the green Merge button before being presented with the ability to choose a merge type via a combo button/dropdown component.)
I think you might be underestimating the level of pay for developers in a lot of the "big" areas. (SF, Silicon Valley, NYC) I've personally heard of friends (fresh college grads) getting offers anywhere from $70k to $150k.
As a fresh college grad from a non-top tier school in Silicon Valley, many of my friends are making ~$100K/year right out of school. I'm sure people from top tier schools going to Google and Facebook can make double that.
I'd completely forgotten that they'd changed the name. As someone who grew up with 'System 6' and 'System 7', it feels weird to chop off so much of the name all of a sudden.
Also, saying 'OS Ten' out loud just seems generic.

I've long wondered when Apple would bump "OS X" to something like "OS 11" or just make OS "Ex" the official pronunciation. I figured they would "pull a Solaris" and claim "OS 11" just meant "OS X 10.11.0". Now it seems like it will become "iOS" everywhere.
TL;DR
What follows is a more detailed explanation of the benchmark configuration and results. TL;DR is short for "too long; don't read". If you get all the way to the end and understand it, you get a prize...
I sure they meant "too long; don't read" to fall in line with their "prize" of coming to interview if you could make sense of the explanations and benchmarks.
