Ah yes, another riveting tale of someone who "studied" #Rust by ignoring all the tutorials and actually doing work. 
Meanwhile, the rest of us mere mortals are still trying to decipher what the heck a borrow checker is. 
But hey, at least now we know that Rust is perfect for #B2B #SaaS #backend #development... whatever that means.

Pretending climate collapse isn't happening isn't an option, no matter the GOP claim.
"Continued un-mitigated disasters trigger a cascade of financial crises as state-backed ins programs, municipalities & mortgage lenders require bailouts. The customer is abandoned... Previously privatized profits are now socialized as widespread losses, potentially leading to state insolvency."
![The Un-insurability Crisis Is Upon Us – 3 Possible Scenarios for What’s Next
Andrew Hoffman, Rupert Read, originally published by Resilience.org, April 15, 2025
Insurers should, through their disclosure and lobbying power, play a key role in achieving a safer and more resilient world. Through disclosure, they can share their vast knowledge about the financial risks of a climate changed world. Through lobbying, they can advocate for a suite of laws and policies that make the world more insurable in the face of the ever-mounting risks.
The insurance sector is dealing with the realities of a climate-changed world with higher payouts from more extreme weather events & more assets in harm’s way by raising premiums & reducing coverage to manage losses. As this continues, with an increasing number of regions becoming ‘ uninsurable‘, Fed Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has warned that insurance companies pull out “of coastal areas [and] areas where there are a lot of fires” the loss of available ins means that “there are going to be regions of the country where you can’t get a mortgage” in “10 or 15 years.” This would be devastating to individual homeowners & the economy at large as property values drop & governments take in less tax revenue for schools, police & other basic services. Günther Thallinger, Chair of the Investment Board of multi-national insurance company Allianz SE warns that this represents “a systemic risk that threatens the very foundation of the financial sector.”](https://cdn.masto.host/urbanistssocial/media_attachments/files/114/342/217/093/709/019/original/c178f9ab45ab9ab7.png)
Yesterday was my last day in Minneapolis and I spent it running around the city visiting the places I wanted to go. There is another, younger, scrappier non profit with neon called CAFAC - Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center - and it is right at George Floyd Square.
Seeing the square, and it's memorial was powerful. It seems there are daily events at the gas station- now changed into "People's way" with a campfire in the middle of the pumps and a brass band meeting up there along with about 50 other folks. 5 wood or Steel fists have been placed in the square, and the four intersections surrounding it. The spots of the incident, have been memorialized.
CAFAC has metal casting classes- and is public arts and activism oriented. Seems like they are ready (and are currently) making a very heavy, and long lasting iron, steel or bronze mark.
Their neon shop used all lead glass (out of production for 20 years. Funky- but exciting!
