in fact, I did not edit the original contents of my first message at all, out of respect for the reader. The edit merely acknowledged your point.

thanks - I was wrong about the plan being new.

However as of this year it's got ~$600B of exposure and $400MM in funds. at 3MM/residence that's 133 homes before they're bust, right?

strange, Teams is not on my list. Maybe you are not using "(new) teams (for business and school) v2 (new)"

reminds me of the recently enacted FAIR plan in California for last-resort wildfire insurance. It got state dispensation to carry otherwise-disallowed, lopsided balance sheets to cover more people -- but if a small fraction of those people do experience wildfire it'll go bust!

edit: see below, I was wrong about FAIR being newly enacted

eg.

cat ./file.txt | up

and inside up, jq away!

if you want to fall back to a less hardcore intro try spacemacs or doom emacs, very vim friendly

You should look into the pint library if you want full unit support!

I had subscribed to an IPTV service with SO many channels that loading it was a massive pain, so instead I dipped my feet into python for fun and created a filter service that breaks it into a more manageable list:

I since stopped subscribing to IPTV so the project is abandoned, but I have a couple of friends who still use it; I'd probably write it completely differently today - but it's still trucking!
