Here is a 72-byte alphanum MD5 collision with 1-byte difference for fun:

Ensuring software, webapps etc. aren't vulnerable to SQLi or XSS is hard, let's change companies' names instead?

Do not do this. Don't you dare. The one true timezone for databases is always UTC.
You get this wrong at your peril and it haunts you forever. Allow me to demonstrate by sending some people into fits with three words:

Todays' 25th July.
Italy celebrates 80 years since the end of the fascist regime in Italy, which ended 25th July 1943.

Treesitter grammars are much easier (in retrospect) than I thought! Here's a weird little file format, SMAUG MUD "help.are", which contains a chunk of text that gets highlighted by another grammar... and which supports concealing to reveal how it actually looks like in-game \o/
In the past couple hour or so I've written _three_ tree-sitter grammars for three distinct weird/custom configuration file types.
Open the files in nvim, and they're now properly/sanely highlighted, with cognition of what's what in the actual grammar of them!
Amazing! Bliss!
I wonder how long it'll be before they retire this service. Days? Weeks? Months? Years?
