My parents are looking at getting a new printer because their current HP inkjet is so old that the previously awful priced ink now costs as much as a whole new printer.

Same with this. Time is a mess where making assumptions like constant timezones will eventually bite you. Like did you know timezone offsets do not all align on an hour mark? Kathmandu, Nepal is currently UTC+5:45 so its top of the hour does not align with mine.

I'm still sad the lawyer wouldn't let me embed xkcd.com/2867/ in my declaration even though it was the right call because the judge was not the type who'd appreciate it. It was relevant to my argument, even!

Found where I saw this. The spike could still be due to something else though

Recently there was some spam abusing facets to mass mention people without it showing in the visible posts. Maybe this is related?

Python and Go have decent docs and that is one of my requirements for a tolerable language. I think Kotlin might be one of my favorite languages, ignoring package and tooling ecosystems in that comparison.

As a developer this exact scenario terrifies me. I am not a security expert but I know enough to recognize some common vulnerabilities.
I bet the only thing preventing these apps being pwned is attackers not noticing or not caring enough about them. That is an awful place to be.
