Ah, Randall. Because of course all us nerds already know about leap seconds, and that Google has for a decade implemented leap seconds by &quot;smearing&quot; them over the day rather than as a discontinuity[1].<p>It makes me want to read it as a Jerry Seinfeld joke. &quot;What&#x27;s the deal with Google&#x27;s leap second? It&#x27;s not a leap, and it&#x27;s not a second.&quot;<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;time&#x2F;smear" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;time&#x2F;smear</a>

Here&#x27;s a question I&#x27;ve always had: why February?<p>December 32nd would be much more sensible.
