Falsehoods programmers believe about time, in a single list

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

  • There are always 24 hours in a day.
  • February is always 28 days long.
  • Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).

A Super simple encryption cipher using XOR and Base64 in JavaScript
// XORCipher - Super simple encryption using XOR and Base64
//
// Depends on [Underscore](http://underscorejs.org/).
//
// As a warning, this is **not** a secure encryption algorythm. It uses a very
// simplistic keystore and will be easy to crack.
//
// The Base64 algorythm is a modification of the one used in phpjs.org
