    Are they having #LeapDay issues?

    Or is USPS operating outside of US?

  2. My latest article for the local paper, which came out last week on #LeapDay (the bonus day!), features #ImmersionBrewing and two recent specialty stouts released by the brewery: Meraki and Onism. Both are blended, #BarrelAged stouts, with Meraki a blend of stout and barleywine and Onism a blend of several stouts.

  7. My #LeapDay-born stepson is now concerned that his birthday is going to gradually disappear from the calendar over the next four million years

  8. EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!

    ------------------

    I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.

    My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.

    Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is. 😂

  9. Google's cute doodle for the Leap Day (29th February) 2024.

    WHAT IS A LEAP DAY/YEAR?🤔🧐
    Common/Calendar Year (y)=365 solar days 🗓
    Solar/Tropical/Astronomical Year (Y)=365.2425 solar days🌏🌞
    Y-y=0.2425; 4*(Y-y)=0.97=1-0.03 (+1 if divisible by 4)
    100*(Y-y)=24.25=(25-1)+0.25 (again -1 if divisible by 100)
    400*(Y-y)=97=4*(25-1)+1 (again +1 if divisible by 400)

    That is to say,
    Using logical and modulo operators, the year n is said to be a leap year if and only if:
    (n mod 4=0)∧((n mod 100≠0)∨(n mod 400=0)).

    In other words, a year is a leap year if it is evenly divisibly 4, except for years that are evenly divisible by 100 but not evenly divisible by 400.

    For example, 2024 and 2028 are leap years; 2100 and 2200 are not, but 2400 and 2800 are.

    This is our clever method to ensure that our calendar stays aligned with our seasons or Earth's orbit over time. If nothing were done about this discrepancy, our calendar would slowly drift out of sync with the Earth's orbit and seasons. After 100 years, we would be off by about 25 days! So, to fix this, we add an extra day, February 29, to the calendar every four years, with the exception that a year evenly divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is also evenly divisible by 400 (as shown in the calculations).

  10. "Over the course of centuries, a calendar with no leap years would eventually become totally out of sync with the seasons as we know them."

  11. A calendar glitch? in 2024? Seriously? Sighs in analog superiority cuz MY calendar got Leap Day 2024 right. There are a finite number of calendar configurations BTW. Its not rocket surgery to get #LeapDay right.

  12. Things that broke because of leap day:

    - Pay at pump in New Zealand for 10 hours arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/0

    - Issuance of Driver's licences in 4 Japanese prefectures japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/societ

    - Console games Theatrhythm and WRC. Suggested fix: reset the date on your console kotaku.com/final-fantasy-theat

    Imagine the mayhem that will ensue should we ever get a negative leap second

  13. this #LeapDay I just kept thinking about how it'd make so much more sense to have a 13 month calendar with 28 days each, then make the 365th day a holiday and the 366th day on leap years even more holiday :blobfoxnerd:​ :party_dog:​

  14. Seeing multiple independent issues around a leap day — a well known feature of the calendar for over 2000 years, makes me think that not only is there a new date-time library out in the wild. I haven’t seen such widespread gross incompetence since leftpad.

    If I had to bet money on it, I think node, or some other server side JavaScript, is to blame.

    Saying this novel library doesn’t support leap seconds is droll. I’ll do one better. I don’t think this library actually implements the Gregorian calendar. Nay! I suspect it says it supports the Gregorian calendar, but actually implements the Julian calendar.

  15. Have these Feb 29 problems always been a thing? (Not that I recall?) Or is it some anecdotal sign of our engineering practices deteriorating?

  16. I'm late for the leap day festivities, but I do want to mention that one of the best shows I ever saw in my life happened on Feb. 29th in 1996 - Chick Corea's Quartet at Binghamton University. It was the Time Warp tour with Bob Berg, James Genus and Gary Novak. I was the crew coordinator for the concert and got to jam briefly with Berg and Genus during the soundcheck when Novak was a few minutes late.

    The concert was astounding, with mostly originals, plus two Bartok pieces.

  17. Every "Leap Day" my partner and I take a specific moment to do a little leap in the air to celebrate. Nothing fancy, just a simultaneous jump.
    It is kinda silly, and very small, but is a very purposeful celebration and joy, a perfect one you might say.

  20. Thanks #LeapDay.. the vibes were off all damn day 😔

  21. Even with an added Leap Day in February this year, I STILL can't believe March starts tomorrow! 😮

  22. Today is a day that didn't exist last year.

    And won't exist the next.

  23. TIL: Korean word for leap day (Feb 29) is 윤일.
    일 = day. 윤 comes from 閏 ("surplus") which apparently itself combines 門 (doors) +王 (king), referring to the day when the king traditionally stayed within the palace on this ancillary-duty day. #윤일 #閏日 #linguistics #leapday

  24. I think they published these shitty opinions on #leapday on purpose so they'll be harder to search for in future years
