Newsmax reported that PBS knew about the assault on the capitol before it even happened because they put a timestamp on their web page for the Trump congregation when they first published it early in the morning.
They then proceeded to update the page without updating the timestamp, making it look like they predicted the invasion hours in advance
I ran into a fun bug last week. I wrote a piece of .Net Core software that accepts a batch of transactions. The transactions are shovelled into Sql Server without much processing. Each transaction had a timestamp set to DateTime.UtcNow in C#. I didn't expect the transactions to end up with duplicate timestamps but DateTime.UtcNow only has a resolution of between 0.5 and 15 milliseconds. So in a tight loop I got dupli…
>should include a timestamp. In fact, this extends to almost anything online and even offline. This was one of the ideas in the General Semantics philisophy. You don't much hear about it nowadays, it's a pre-war thing. One of the tenants was that you should date expressions. For example, if referring to a person, you'd write "Roosevelt, 1930" because a year later, Roosevelt may behave like a different person altogeth…
That's a nice idea. I can think of at least one person that this would be useful for (Elon Musk, 2023).

You can just use ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD, then you can be international standards compliant as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
Plus, it sorts naturally. Starting with the day or the month is Ludacris.
hello, I'm the shiny new search, and what I offer is that whenever I have found 250 articles that perfectly solve your problem for a search term, I round robin these on the "first page" and you decide which one to choose from the offered ones. This way everyone has an equal opportunity to get some views plus nobody has to do these mating dances to get on the front page.
What a brave new world!

I don't understand how people can accept the browser hiding the URL.
Firefox seems to always display the url after the protocol, even on mobile. I don't like the protocol omission, but I've grown to tolerate it.
The scheme is rather pointless to display in a browser bar nowadays.
