  “We all have the same 24 hours a day”.
  
  No we don’t.
  
  Some have less:
  -Health issues
  -Caring for others
  -Unreliable car, home
  -Low pay job that requires overtime to survive
  
  Some have more:
  -Private driver/jet
  -No commute
  -Can afford to buy time by paying others to do things.

  Feels like that moment in Deep Impact when everyone rejoices that they can destroy the earth killing comet but the smaller chunk still strikes and destroys much of the Eastern seaboard.
  
  This ain’t over until it’s over.

  Don't know about other operating systems but on linux (and I think Mac) you can use the date command at the command line:

  Want to know what time it will be locally when it is 12 noon in Sydney, Australia next Monday?

  date --date='TZ="Australia/Sydney" 12:00 next Mon'

  If you know how to write shell scripts you could incorporate this command into one.

  date is part of the Gnu coreutils package

  yeah I have plenty of tools for me to be able to convert timezones, but what I specifically need is for someone else to be able to look at an invite I create in their own timezone, as well as the option to choose multiple. In any case it looks like Fantastical does exactly this and I've been using the app already and had no idea!

  4. Fam, choose boring tech over shiny. Those mainframes and COBOL still work just fine after 50 years of service. Those React apps you're writing are legacy before they launch, at a hundred times the cost, and no one can run them when you leave - making them abandonware.

  1. "Move fast and break things" failed. As a result, we inherited a lot of fast-moving broken things. Sustainability is the most important principle in government tech today.
  
  "Move carefully and fix things."

  3. Technology is *almost never* the solution to the problem. You need a deep understanding of culture, policy, budget, acquisitions, etc. to be successful. We don't need *ANY* more shiny new websites or hackathons. Your first year should be spent understanding the systems.

  Fox News just cut away from @PressSec, saying the network could not in good conscience continue to air her false claims, for which she has provided no supporting evidence.
