So guess who wrote a convoluted date comparison conditional instead of using `Temporal.ZonedDateTime.compare()` like an intelligent human being and ended up hitting an edge case where future scheduled calls started getting cleaned off the database instead of past ones?

I’ll give you a hint: has two thumbs and his name is Aral 🤦‍♂️

Anyway, just restored things from yesterday’s backup and sent a direct message to everyone scheduled for a Gaza Verified video verification call apologising for the confusion and explaining what happened.

Moral of the story: stick to the Temporal API and use its methods if you’re implementing anything even remotely non-trivial involving dates, especially if there are timezones involved. (You can use a Temporal API polyfill in Node.js – I’ve been using temporal-polyfill.)

Now I’m going to expire for the evening.

I notice there are more and more Americans moving to Europe. Does that make them time travelers, essentially? #timetravel #timezones #usa #uspolitics #feminism #queer #lgbtqia #republicans #democrats #trump #antifascism #antifa

Here's an interactive world map showing countries entering 2026. (It's a bit more functional if you have a mouse.)

I always wanted an Emacs world clock I could easily add cities to and shift the times (ie. find meeting times across timezones).

Clearly we should just ditch timezones/clocks and go back to Matins, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers and Compline at the appropriate times where you are. WIth Sunrise/Sunset thrown in for good measure.
