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

Here's a weird UI pattern I haven't seen before. This sanitizer will keep things clean for 24 hours, so the time counts *down*. Every time I see it, it looks like 24 hour clock showing the wrong time!

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/
