   Feels like a lot IDEs now call out `TODO:` text; I think VS Code does this for most languages.

   I can't even with these names. In all seriousness though, this seems like a great idea.

   Here's my radical time idea: instead of keeping the same schedule year round, we just incrementally chop parts of the day off (we just put that time in a "bucket" and pretend it doesn't exist). Then at the summer equinox

   Eh, it's like 5 minutes a month they would be off by. Eventually all those devices will be Internet connected anyways and we'll all have something else new to rage over.

   My fist reaction was that it would be immediately rejected, but the more I thought about it, it seems like it could work if you moved clocks BACK 5 minutes at the START of each MONTH from July 1st to December 1st, and then FORWARD 5 minutes

   That's a really great concept and I could see how one could get used to the workflow with this! But, why such low stats on github?! I guess everyone is jamming on postman, eh?

   Getting cock-blocked (in a intellectual way) by a pay wall on a scientific journal by some click bait aimed at nerds. Wow, what a futuristic time this is!

   Inertia is a hell of a thing. Seems like a smart decision to me since that's what everything phone related builds to as a lowest common denominator anyway.

    I have a friend in aeronautical engineering and he told me a story of some other older engineer who had this elaborate simulation entirely coded in Excel. He had to leave it run over the weekend in order to produce output!

    I agree totally. Seeing one of the real devices with my own eyes was almost a surreal experience - I almost couldn't believe how good it looked given A) the age and B) the size. Such a neat device

    My apologies if I missed this when looking at your product site, but how is the ongoing cost structured? Also, is this OSS with some sort of stated license model, or purely proprietary software? It looks like a really great idea to package

    not exactly convenient, but it indeed does get the job done and is flexible enough to handle whatever you need ... just frustrating that it doesn't exactly follow the ISO spec. Leaving the timezone specifier off makes it ambiguous and

    Kinda reminded me of another website, corrupt.af. It looks like the site went into 301 redirect mode sometime after Nov 2020 however ( https://web.archive.org/web/20201105181227/https://corrupt.a... ) Mayb

    Yeah, I would honestly love this. Less to go wrong == better. My passenger window has been broken for years now -- at a cost of over $500 to fix the motor, I just live with a non-functioning window. The warranty expense / savings on th

    This seems cool and all, but wouldn't it likely violate ToS of your carrier by doing something like this -- especially if it gets to be of any appreciable scale?

    Is this basically gaslighting us on what REST APIs are, it is it just me?

    This feels like a disaster waiting to happen -- like what happens if (when?) Let's Encrypt suffers a significant outage and sites can't refresh certificates? Do we just tolerate a significant portion of the Internet being down or

    Steve Gibson (grc.com) did a really great job of explaining how cascading bloom filters work in order to efficiently achieve fast certificate revocation lookups in Firefox. It's definitely worth checking out the episode https:/&#
