Indeed; the converse would be to add (or remove) micro-leapseconds in order to keep accurate time. That way it would happen so often that the code would get tested and we'd have working implementations (maybe we could fix the traditional Apple issues with leap years at the same time).
- layer8 4y agoI’m pretty sure we would get bugs whenever the accumulated micro-leapseconds would reach a full second.
- zh3 4y agoMmm...true, some programmers even have problems with gettimeofday(). The point still stands though - common problems have tested code, uncommon/rare problems rarely have battle-hardened solutions.
