What’s really wild is that two-thirds of Americans who file for bankruptcy cite medical issues as a key contributor to their financial downfall. The “richest” country in the world.

It’s going to be interesting to see how things scale up if there is going to be a significant influx of users with Reddit making changes. Mastodon went through some growing pains during Twitter migrations. ActivityPub can also have problems with content that gets popular and gets shared massively. I expect there are going to be lots of interesting problems to solve as the network starts scaling up.
here’s how I check my weather :) https://gist.github.com/yogthos/f86e63b856e1413180b2262024ece977
Yeah, I was curious about Lisp for a while, but just couldn’t get into it until Clojure came out. I find the additional syntax for data literals makes a huge difference in readability. Janet takes a lot of the good parts of Clojure and packages them into a nice and small runtime.
Babashka is another similar project I can highly recommend. It’s a Clojure runtime compiled against Graalvm, so it’s also very lightweight and has instant startup. The nice part with Babashka is how batteries included it is. You have an HTTP server, you can connect to Postgres, parse JSON, etc. all works out of the box. And you can even do REPL driven development against it. You just run bb --nrepl-server
and connect the editor to it. For example, here’s a full blown HTTP server that can be run as a script:
#!/usr/bin/env bb
(require
'[clojure.pprint :refer [pprint]]
'[hiccup.core :as hiccup]
'[org.httpkit.server :as server])
(defn handler [{:keys [uri server-name request-method]}]
{:body
(hiccup/html
[:html
[:body
[:p "URI: " uri]
[:p "server-name: " server-name]
[:p "method: " request-method]]])})
(server/run-server handler {:port 3000})
(println "serving on port 3000")

It’s even more insidious than that. Majority of the population needs recurring income to operate. This includes private individuals and businesses. When the crash happens and people aren’t able to sustain a level of income to service their costs then lots of people become insolvent and are forced to sell off their assets for pennies on the dollar. This is great news for billionaires who can then swoop in and buy up everybody’s assets on the cheap. This is why crashes always lead to further wealth concentration.
hmm loads for me, here’s the github repo for it https://github.com/svofski/glasstty
Being an utter ignoramus is sort of a prerequisite for being a liberal. Once a person learns a modicum of history, then it quickly becomes impossible to reconcile reality with liberal ideology.
