why?
Why the fuck didn't they get rid of these retarded leap seconds when the world was getting computerized back in the 1980s. In the next thousand years the amount of leap seconds combined will amount to less than 10 minutes. Is it really worth introducing literally trillions of edge cases that rarely get tested in systems we rely for our modern world to function? Luckily from what I am hearing this will probably be the last. Good fucking riddance. Yes code should properly handle it but guess what the industry is full of hacks and management that authorizes a bare minimum of testing due to cost. Naming and shaming is great until it is your mass transit system that shits the bed.
