If they can reasonably argue that you're being hired because you sound like Morgan Freeman and you wouldn't get the job otherwise, then they likely have a case.

Excalidraw has been great for me and my team to create diagrams on the fly during meetings.

When you store the time of a future event (like a reminder for 1 year from now), and integer since epoch does not work.

Your event is initially in the user's timezone (e.g. 10am 20th of June 2024 in France), if you store it as a number then you are fixing the exact second at which it will happen. However, if the timezone in question has some changes you didn't anticipate (new law voted, no more summer time), then you will either be triggering your event 1h before (e.g. 9am instead of 10am) which is probably not what your user wanted, or you'll have to recompute all your timestamps to take that change into account.

Instead, you could store rhe event with the target timezone, and let your datetime library that is up to date figure out next year.

Very good point, which is a reminder that you have different "types" of dates that you may want to store.

Went storing the time at which an event happened (e.g. for a system log) then a UTC or UNIX time works, and it will be transformed at display time depending on the user's timezone.

When storing a future time at which to do something, it should be stored with its target timezone so you can always make sure it happens at the right moment. For this iso datetime representation makes a lot of sense.

That's most of the article. If you're asking yourself that, you should read it

I believe that the way we represent information is key to understanding. Data points in a list are usually way less insightful than a good graph (emphasis on good). What I have found is that it's the case in describing system architecture as well.

As you say, you can describe a system in a few paragraphs, explaining the relationship between the main components. However, as paragraphs it can harder to grok, and also harder to write with no ambiguity.

Now, part of what I say above can be seen as personal preference (text vs image), but in practice I have found that when using tools like plantuml or mermaid to make C4 diagrams, the result is easier to use, remember, and update than plaintext.

A password manager can generate nice passphrases. Really, generating a nice and secure passphrase is no different from a nice and secure password at this point. It's all about entropy and byte mapping.

I love python, and I don't know if the GP are good points, but your answer is really disengenuous.

3.10 like the version that is not released yet?

Tuples an frozendicts, so precisely non default list and dicts?

I am curious as to how missiles (or any weapon for that matter) could be used in "non-evil" way

Also people may not want to live in Tulsa, even if they are better paid.

Or there is simply quite a few people like you who find this interesting, as the YC posting guidelines put it:

"If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."
