We get another leap second tonight! Can anyone tell me why the time difference between the epoch and midnight is an exact number of minutes?
-
@propensive that's because the epoch ignores leap seconds. Your clock has to step forward one more s but elapses time since epoch doesn't
@antonpiatek Well if you take the "number of seconds since epoch" as accurate, then the UNIX epoch *changes*! But good for calculating days.
