    Are they having #LeapDay issues?

    Or is USPS operating outside of US?

  3. 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.

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

  6. 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. 😂

  8. "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."

  10. 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.

  11. 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:​

  15. 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.

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

  19. 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.

  21. 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.
