Encrypted with a key that is a date can be broken by iterating likely dates. Did they add the time up to milliseconds into it or just the date? Not sure if it matters

Another way the questions were answered wasn't by searching through existing content , but talking to someone who knew how to solve the problem or how to get to an answer by trying some things.

I have to clock in and clock out. I can't clock in when I am commuting. I don't give over time savings to work tasks, Why would I. The time was my own time.

Anecdotal evidence but when I used duckdb and Python and Pycharm the Pycharm table viewer was not working as well as Excel. The rendering was messed up. Could be related to the remote desktop rendering but still not as flawless as Excel. The patchwork of multiple software from different vendors needed to replace Excel with database plus viewer plus Code has downsides compared to the single app single file solution that is Excel.

I think that the solution is very simple, remove the citation metric. Citations don't mean correctness. What we want is correctness.

Tunnels can recoup their cost easily if they are used massively by many people every day. Any reason why you are against building a subway / underground railway?
