One day I am going to reach the height of technological sophistication, and every clock in my house will handle daylight savings automatically. I'm not there yet. I think modern appliances are getting better though. (Does a microwave really need to know the current time?)

Spent a bunch of time learning about text diffing algorithms this evening. "Myers Algorithm" refers to a specific paper written by Eugene Myers, and he published faster algorithms later! https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/wiki/LCS-Algorithms

A cute systemd feature to get the system clock roughly correct: if the system time is before the compilation time of the systemd binary, it moves the clock forward to that time! https://lwn.net/Articles/714355/
