- moskie 14y agoDay light savings transition days. When you skip ahead, that day has 23 hours in it. When you fall back, it has 25.
- mbrubeck 14y agoAlso leap seconds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second
- JoshTriplett 14y agoAlso, any other change to the system clock. NTP will either slew or step the system clock to keep it synchronized with the upstream time source. And the user can explicitly set the clock, as well. See also assumptions 9 and 10.

- malkia 14y agoWhat moskie explained, but got me thinking - if somehow your laptop always synchronizes with the current zone, and you are in a airplane flying east->west, or west->east?
