- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 5 days ago:
The code is already in production, there is no point in rewriting it. It can be maintained for decades to come. New features can be implemented in other languages and over time.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 5 days ago:
I bet is cheaper to teach it to new programmers than to rewrite old software. Just because a language is old doesn’t mean it is unlearnable or that software written in it needs to be rewritten.
- Comment on DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse 6 days ago:
COBOL is perfectly suitable for financial purposes for which it was designed. The SSA code has gone through decades worth of changes and improvements that cannot be replicated even in 10 years.

Didn’t student protesters get arrested and expelled under Biden?
Wed 1 May 2024 Columbia University faculty ‘horrified’ by mass arrests of student protesters
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
You lost me at pressure. I recall one occasion where Biden bypassed Congress to send weapons to Israel. What’s your idea of pressure when the Biden administration vetoes ceasefire at the UN two or three times?
40,000 was the low-end estimate, other sources estimated a higher death count: Gaza: 64,000 deaths due to violence between October 2023 and June 2024, analysis suggests
Gaza war death toll could be significantly higher, researchers say
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
I agree that Trump is worse overall, but Harris would have still continued what Biden was doing and would have allowed the genocide to continue. By the end of Biden’s term 80% of Gaza was already destroyed, over 40,000 killed and Blinken at least once suggested removing the Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan on his meeting with Arab leaders. It was covered in Arabic media but you may have missed it. Trump didn’t come up with anything new, he is just more unabashed and crude about it.
I voted for Jill Stein by the way.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t vote for Trump but let’s not pretend that Harris was going to stop it as she didn’t distance herself from Biden on this issue. Biden had 15 months and he didn’t, not even symbolically at the UN choosing to veto ceasefire, vote against Palestinian right to self determination and continue sending Israel weapons.

- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
The Sassanians alienated their Lakhmid allies -forcefully annexed them and slaughtered their ruling dynasty-. Everyone knows what happened to the Sassanians not too long afterwards.
Who knows if history will repeat itself but worth waiting and finding out.
- Comment on A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles 4 weeks ago:
Xenogears is the best game, or at least JRPG, I ever played and I played over 40 JRPGs from the 8bit era to the modern era. There might be a better JRPG out there but I haven’t played it yet.
