British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.
Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.
Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.
They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.

10 years of Crystal. 10 years of Kemal⌛️
We went from a syntax experiment to a high-performance ecosystem 🚀
My latest blog post reflects on the road to v1.20 and why the "X" is still Crystal✍️

I’m convinced @CrystalLanguage could become as popular as Go, similar performance but with a syntax like Ruby
*I’m writing an HTTP proxy/load balancer in Crystal
Our @golang load balancer at @render handles more than 150 billion HTTP requests a month across millions of services.
The number of times we've wanted to rewrite it in Rust: zero.
Go is the most underrated language in infrastructure. "Boring" is the ultimate feature.
I've done something to offend the X algorithm in the past couple of years, all stats are way down
Does X penalize users who aren't very active anymore?
*not claiming my random posts about farms, tractors and BBQ are the most interesting 🤠
@Builder26@Watchman_motto Those are nice, did you build? I've got a 3 car garage under a raised home that due to height constraints I can't use a roll-up door. I've priced some online but all 3 cost as much as a car, hoping to build my own
Would you say it's hard?
