I feel like people use this "remember the Vasa" idea every 6 months.

Yes, we all remember the Vasa, and understand how it applies to any untested overengineered idea.

Well in mine for example, threads are pinned to a core and always spin, and actors are pinned to a given thread (you can have an arbitrary number of actors per thread, they're just objects), so "waiting" is certainly not something you'd use to describe the setup in any capacity.

You're suggesting pre-filling future data based on extrapolating current rules (up to an arbitratily unknown high date) instead of using a constant.

I don't really see how that is a good approach in any capacity.

Never heard of DST? The authoritative time is constant in the local time zone, but needs to change in UTC twice a year.

This is the exact reason people store time in local time zones.

Also remember the date/time where DST switching occurs is entirely timezone-specific, and it's not necessarily the same pattern every year (as demonstrated with British Columbia).

Stop Using JWTs 1 month ago

A whole lot of nonsense from a web guy.

Please, keep using JWTs, they do their job well: giving you an access or ID token that you can pass between applications and trust based on cryptographic signatures from an identity provider.

Waltz is 19 quid, but it's arguably the best cocktail in London.

The Connaught is up to 40, but more of a fancy establishment.
