Facebook developers are apparently so frightened of a negative leap second that they think altering the way global timekeeping works is easier than fixing their codehttps://t.co/NOIcZMDOrm

Facebook wants to eliminate the leap second, and on days when it is under 95 degrees I will be in my storage unit coming up with a conspiracy to match this.

MetaさんというかFacebookの「うるう秒」やめさせるために活動してますよって話。システム運用担当者、タイムスタンプ関係者はみんな喜ぶんじゃないですかね。

元ネタのブログがまさにそういう話。秒が飛んだり巻き戻させない為の Smearing(にじみ)アルゴリズムで、線形以外にも cos や 2次方程式(メタ社はこれ)の方法が紹介されてた。C1 不連続怖いしね。 https://t.co/wqlKaK1tWI pic.twitter.com/GtCTqBbYEL

Hmm...while Y2K is history, 'leap second' (introduced in 1972) is still an issue.

"Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon launched a public effort to scrap the leap second, an occasional extra tick that keeps clocks in sync with the Earth's actual rotation."https://t.co/EntjqGQ84R

주요 기술기업들이 윤초를 없애자고 주장 중. 이미 수차례에 걸쳐 서버 장애를 일으킨 전례가 있어 득보다 실이 많다 주장. 미국/프랑스 표준 책정 부서도 대체로 찬동하는 모양. https://t.co/iPBCqNdFXW

Down with the leap second! So say Meta, Google, Microsoft, and US and French standards bodies who thinks tweaking atomic clock time for the Earth's rotation causes more problems than it solves. Key government agencies agree. Tip @Techmeme https://t.co/pFts5RX4SL

Whether leap seconds are worth the trouble or not aside, the fact that many systems are unable to handle such a well-known, and well-defined edge case without blowing up spectacularly speaks volumes to the brittleness of the systems we rely on evermore. https://t.co/SkTwCNEaE3
