We're being short-sighted

  • 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.

  • dealing with time

    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.

    Banning masks means banning (a subset) of disabled people from public places without great risk to their health

  • Exactly. I find it strange that someone who's immune system is compromised to the point where a 'common cold' can kill them has been just hanging out in public and it's only a problem now. Masks weren't invented in 2020. Op is likely farming Internet points.

    I've had a compromised immune system before. Going out in public and trusting a mask to protect me would be like wearing safety goggles when you jump into a wood chipper.
