The two most difficult things in programming; dealing with time, naming things, and boundary conditions.
Network engineer here, it's just as bad here. Currently trying to figure out what to do with 'gaining' a negative leap second. In 2025, we may lose one for the first time in digital history.
Do you not have NTP?
I forgot what the N stands for in NTP, but the network engineer might know.
Absolutely. I'm a ddi engineer. NTP plays a huge part in my work. Systems, including ntp, are designed to handle leap seconds. Negative leap seconds are uncharted territory. I could go off on a long rant about it, but I doubt people care that much. It's really dry stuff.
We love long dry niche rants though.
Time I can deal with, timezones however, fuck that shit all to hell.
Insert that Numberphile video with Tom Scott being reasonably angry at time zones.
