Actually a cool date pivot point. Did not realize it was coming up (and has now passed). Thanks.

      > Feb 2009 (3 comments) Interesting. And one of those comments was mentioning an EEEpc. Simpler times indeed. Seems like HN grew the most between then and 2014, continuing up to 2020

    Set a calendar notification for Friday, January 15, 2027 8:00:00 AM GMT. Woah, is that weird that it's exactly on the hour? ...I guess not so weird, since 180 is divisible by 60.

      Does that mean unix date calculations do not take into account the leap second? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second

        That's a long page, but basically the answer is no. We don't randomly have a 61 second minute in "clock" units; instead we have a day that takes 86401 _real_ seconds but only the standard 86400 clock seconds. By way of analogy, imagine we implemented leap years by slowing our clocks to half speed on Feb 28 instead of adding a Feb 29.

          > imagine we implemented leap years by slowing our clocks to half speed on Feb 28 instead of adding a Feb 29 Thanks I will imagine this! Too bad we can’t slow the real Earth time down and have a bizarrely slow and long day every 4 years.
