livestream still relevant? Docking with ISS tomorrow morning? All the tests they are doing?
- colordrops 6y agoYes, live broadcast until docking at 10:30am EST.
- jasode 6y agoTo clarify, it's "EDT" not "EST": https://www.google.com/search?q=spacex+dock+%22space+station%22+%2210%3A29%22+%2214%3A29%22 https://www.google.com/search?q=spacex+dock+%22space+station... Fyi that "Daylight Saving Time" instead of "Standard Time" is in effect in case someone miscalculates it by 1 hour.
- numpad0 6y agoOut of curiosity, how do modern systems handle DST outside its seasons e.g. “12/31 21:15 EDT”?
- ptero 6y agoI think on most Linux systems a time string in a specific timezone is just a visual representation. Internally, times are kept as a number of seconds from 1/1/70 UTC midnight (with leap second adjustments if needed). When a user wants to convert to/from a timezone it is a simple addition for the timezone offset. EST adjustment is always 5 hours, EDT always 4. You could in principle warn users that they are asking for a strange time, e.g. the one you indicated, but if the user wants to see it, why not.
- croutonwagon 6y agoI know on ubuntu servers i had to revert any DST/timezone settings and just keep everything in UTC. Because the systemd daemon for time didnt respect DST changes and would break services like kerberos.
- tosh 6y agoDragon is now just a few meters away from the ISS (International Space Station) to follow approach and docking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZsnKGV8TE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIZsnKGV8TE
- dang 6y agoSorry for impugning the freshness of the livestream.
