Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

Here's today's thought for the weekend. A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of Y-intercept.

	For benchmarking the card and allowing me to release the benchmarks here

	The hashcat installation used includes a change to the tuning ALIAS.hctune file to include the RTX 4090 as "ALIAS_nv_sm50_or_higher".
	The "Kernel exec timeout" warning is cosmetic and does not affect the speed of any of the benchmarked modes.
	Benchmark was run at stock clocks on an Asus Strix 4090.

	/* sidenotes.js: standalone JS library for parsing HTML documents with Pandoc-style footnotes and dynamically repositioning them into the left/right margins, when browser windows are wide enough.
	Sidenotes are superior to footnotes where possible because they enable the reader to immediately look at them without requiring user action to 'go to' or 'pop up' the footnotes; even floating footnotes require effort by the reader.
	sidenotes.js is inspired by the Tufte-CSS sidenotes (https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/#sidenotes), but where Tufte-CSS uses static footnotes inlined into the body of the page (requiring modifications to Pandoc's compilation), which doesn't always work well for particularly long or frequent sidenotes, sidenotes.js will rearrange sidenotes to fit as best as possible, and will respond to window changes.
	Particularly long sidenotes are also partially 'collapsed'.

	I wrote this function to progressively obfuscate text in MAKEbook.io. When it KINDA worked, I just used it.
	It can take a lot of improvement. I kinda just tweaked the values until it was good enough. It's not SO progressive though.

	It takes all the output of your PHP scripts via ob_start(), reroutes that to the obfuscation function.

	You should check if user paid for book or not, then either run ob_start or not!
