The person who forked that language didn't have any experience regarding languages/compilers before that fork. Later he tried to create BrainFuck like an interpreter and some unspecified lang parser/lexer.
Recently there were a few commits in this language after 3 weeks of silence. It's a vanity project of one twitch influencer.
the State does in fact provide a reinsurance scheme of sorts - disaster designations and the release of funds...the Federal government provides a reinsurance scheme under that when they designate Federal disasters and release funds
not sure the State is equipped to take over the first level of insurance...go to the DMV some time and ask if that is who you want to deal with when you have roof damage from hail etc
years back, some insurers wanted to stop issuing home policies for people near the Santa Cruz Mountains due to fire risk. Dianne Feinstein applied pressure in the Senate and with some concessions, it all went away.
There are a lot of land scams online and West Texas has plenty of them. You can buy loads of cheap land in Hudspeth County and there's no mention anywhere in the marketing materials that said land used to be the dumping site of New Jersey sewage trains. Basically there is no land worth a damn that needs to be marketed online. If it was good for anything it would change hands immediately.
you're also very very alone in that area. If you're off the main roads and get hurt or bit by something, even if you manage to get through to 911 dispatch, its going to be a while. And that's assuming they find you.
> then why am I being asked to bail out a generation's college loans?
Wouldn't that fit perfectly with the comment you're responding to? Because the money is there. In fact I'd expect us to be bailing people out as we get richer. Less govern
So perhaps there are just more people! (Anything can be an "all time high" or "record X" if you ignore this fact). Or local trust in food banks has risen. Or food banks have more money now to hand out more food.
> then why are more six-figure earners reporting to be living paycheck-to-paycheck?
Because the popular report you're citing here, sponsored by lending service LendingClub, includes buying groceries on a credit card as "living paycheck to paycheck" even if you're paying it off each month and only doing it for the points.
> then why is personal credit card debt at an all time high?
Because there are more people! Or are you actually talking about debt as a percent of income which is a more realistic stat? Because people spend less on their debt now than almost ever. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TDSP
this is called "hopium" one-liner.. look at the demographics.. twelve billionaires and 2.6 million adults having trouble paying monthly bills in my US West coastal area. Asset bubbles notably residential housing. capital-flight..
There is a trend that some people lean heavily on government intervention to solve their problems, rather than exercising personal initiative. This dependence can exacerbate issues in densely populated regions, where high living costs, limited housing, and food security concerns are rampant, despite surprisingly low out-migration rates.
However, alternatives are readily available. Inland areas beyond the coastlines offer affordable living and plentiful housing.
> some people lean heavily on government intervention to solve their problems
this lecture is better pointed at the naive.. look at system rules in place, benefiting "stall" politics and high tax on labor, local govt zoning, and access to capital projects. You explain to me how "Noah's Bagels" makes multi-hundred franchise with high-end remodelling, to sell bagels. A person "exercising personal initiative" goes out of business in less than half a year! Also construction contractors..
hollow platitudes work when the system is flush.. dont be surprised to get serious pushback with that
Government is not able to fix the peoples' problems. Entrenched poverty and homelessness has been a problem in New York [3] and California for decades, but even though the same party has been in power for similar decades -- New York has been under single-party control since 1975 [1] and California since 1959 [2] -- the problems remain. There is no motivation to solve the peoples' problems, only "lectures pointed at the naive" around election time.
For the individual, the only realistic option is out-migration to lower density areas.
> New York has been under Democrat control since 1975 [1] and California since 1959 [2] -
Neither of those claims are supported by those links (and even the control that actually is shown by those links may be misleading, in that it ignores things like “controlling all of the separately elected executive offices and having majorities in both houses of the legislature is insufficient to govern California since it takes a legislative supermajority to make tax changes that involve any increases, and, prior to 2014, to even pass an annual budget”.)
Feel free to post a source for your claims that the party with 5+ decades of majority control is excused from its failures to alleviate the problems of its most desperate citizens because of spoiler votes.
In any case, the fact that that situation is even possible is support enough for folks to move to lower density areas.
the US dollar is beyond the power of a rating agency
the fact that all of the industrial economies have generated so much debt in the last generation and still get AAA ratings tells you how pointless these ratings are for currencies-that-matter
Canada has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7 now and it also has AAA rating
until someone sells Martian government bonds backed by hard assets and yearly balanced budgets...buyers have no choice but to buy toxic assets
when governments inflate, they pay back debt with less worthy currency...so the US and everyone else is basically slow-motion defaulting over time anyway
Wagner are mercenaries...who is paying them to invade Russia?
Putin is using them as a battering ram, and is presumably not bothered by leaving their corpses in a burn pit to preserve the Russian Army
Putin is not too different than Stalin...the penal units Stalin forced to walk into German minefields had a 90% loss rate...but they weren't regular Red Army so who cares?
unlikely...they are still Russian nationals and Putin can take action against their families if they try to grow brains (another tactic borrowed from Stalin)
in any case they wouldn't get far...who is supplying them with ammo and fuel on the road to Moscow? the US? Putin would empty the silos
> in any case they wouldn't get far...who is supplying them with ammo and fuel on the road to Moscow?
Their existing stocks until they capture Russian state stocks on the way (either by force, or by corruption—money works on corrupt quartermasters, and Prigozhin has a lot), or by turning local troops and the supplies they control to the cause.
But, yeah, outside anti-Putin governments aren’t impossible sponsors, especially if he has some early success. Enemy of my enemy can go a long way to making strange bedfellows.
he's clearly in a feud with the Russian DoD, but he's way off thinking that failing to commit the children of the elites' to combat will result in a "revolution"
in fact its the opposite...look closer to home
no one on the Harvard or Yale rowing teams died in the Civil War...they didn't even put on uniforms (and if anyone asked them to, they could pay someone else to go in their place)
fast forward to Vietnam when we decided the elite should fight too...the nation ripped itself apart
fast forward again to the pointless quagmire of Afghanistan...all volunteers, mostly from poor backgrounds...no meaningful public dissent for twenty years
back to Russia, they already have 500k fresh recruits who will soon be ready to deploy...no riots so far
no one on the Harvard or Yale rowing teams died in the Civil War
Don't know know about the rowing team per se, but one of the most important buildings at Harvard is Memorial Hall, which was built to memorialize Harvard students who died in the Civil War fighting for the Union[0].
More info on those casualties[1]:
The walls of the Memorial Hall Transept hold 28 white marble tablets bearing the names of 136 Harvard associates who fell on behalf of the United States Army and Navy during the Civil War. The youngest, Sumner Paine, class of 1865, fell at Gettysburg on July 3, 1863, two years before his intended graduation. The Paul Joseph Revere (plaque 5) listed is the grandson of the famous Paul Revere.
(And, if you look at the names listed on the plaques, you'll see "Revere" isn't the only prominent family-name represented).
And, another even more central building, is Memorial Church, which was built as a memorial to graduates who died fighting in World War I[2] and which also commemorates casualties of WWII and other later wars.
Among the first enlistees in the 20th was the patrician Caspar Crowninshield ’60, the rugged lead oar of his College crew team and the sixth from his family to graduate from Harvard. His thoughts turned somber on the train ride south. “I could not help feeling sad as I looked around,” he wrote, reflecting on how “few might ever return.”

> fast forward to Vietnam when we decided the elite should fight too
That's the opposite of what happened with Vietnam, with its limited draft with broader exemptions [0] than previous 20th Century wars.
[0] For a particularly class-specific example, the student deferment by the time of Vietnam extended as long as you were a full-time student making satisfactory progress, and could be kept up until you passed draftable age; in Korea, a qualified student could defer induction until the end of the current term only.
