Would have been interesting to connect back to Java's own journey to improve its time APIs, with Joda-Time leading into JSR 310, released with Java 8 in 2014. Immutable representations, instants, proper timezone support etc.

Given that the article refers to the "radical proposal" to bring these features to JavaScript came in 2018, surely Java's own solutions had some influence?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify

Trust, but verify (Russian: доверяй, но проверяй, tr. doveryay, no proveryay, IPA: [dəvʲɪˈrʲæj no prəvʲɪˈrʲæj]) is a Russian proverb, which is rhyming in Russian. The phrase became internationally known in English after Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history, taught it to Ronald Reagan, then president of the United States, the latter of whom used it on several occasions in the context of nuclear disarmament discussions with the Soviet Union.

Maybe you're aware of how Rotten Tomatoes scores work, but in case someone reading this isn't: the score is not some average of individual scores like IMDb uses (I think), but just the _proportion of critic scores that are positive_.

So, if a film has 100x 2.5/4 star ratings from critics and 50 1.5/4 star ratings, it would have a Tomatometer score of 67% (100 positive of 150 ratings).

Note that Thread Reader loses the images attached to some of the tweets (at least for me).

Edit: strike that, it was Firefox's social tracker protection blocking them. Just need to click the shield icon left of the address bar and temporarily disable it.

What are you trying to say, exactly? "Confidential computing" doesn't _use_ anything, it's a technology for working with encrypted data, mate.

In Charlotte (and other places, I'm certain) the signs referencing I-485, the local loop interstate highway, refer to "Outer" and "Inner", which is just as useful as long as you know to drive on the right!
