It is year 2025.

- We have agentic AIs that sometimes give pretty good and surprisingly reliable answers & solutions.
- However, we still can't figure out a way to foolproof the layout system, so that we can reduce the amount of "How do I center a div?" questions being asked.

Ok world. 👍

Reading the docs of the Rust crate `dpi`.

"Most notably, it can make users feel like they have bad eyesight..."

Ok, fair point.

"...which will potentially cause them to think about growing elderly, resulting in them having an existential crisis."

Well, that escalated quickly 😂.

Q: How does Advent of Code determine the time to unlock for the next day?

A: Well, you can't rely on the client's local clock, because it can be inaccurate. Instead, server returns an ETA value in seconds, which is then used to "correct" the local clock before it is used by the countdown.
