Time Lords decree: The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (#IERS) announced on Thursday there will be no #leapsecond added to #2024.
#Earth's rotation slowed in recent decades, creating a need for 27 leap seconds introduced between 1972 and 2016. Our planet's spin has sped up a little since – which is why we've not had a leap second added for a few years.

CW: one of my particular obsessions
There are a lot of gems buried in this here discussion: https://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/dutc.html
Especially that second link at the top! And now I'm finally remembering to add a hashtag to this thread.

https://gizmodo.com/leap-second-time-1849807606 - #LeapSecond is coming to an end ... because too many #programmers assume a minute has 60 seconds ... and then code fails. What's the new solution? Good thing they have until 2035 to find it. Thanks https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-leffer-2b348b230.

Good news everyone! There's not going to be a leap second inserted in the UTC time scale at the end of December 2023.
(given the overall trend in the rotation of the Earth, this shouldn't be a surprise...)

The have actually decided to abolish the #LeapSecond from 2035.
Nice. #TIL

Good news everyone!
IERS Bulletin C Number 65 has just been published, and (as expected) NO #LeapSecond will be introduced at the end of June 2023.

Pesky 'leap second' will be abolished by 2035
An international group of experts has voted to retire the leap second by 2035.
Thank Goodness. Losing that second periodically really messed my circadian rhythm

The leap second’s time is up: world votes to stop pausing clocks
"The practice of adding #LeapSeconds to official #clocks to keep them in sync with #Earth’s rotation will be put on hold from 2035, the world’s foremost #metrology body has decided."

This NYT story on the #leapsecond baffles me. Can someone help me to understand why leap seconds are such a problem that a machine notion of time must prevail over the human notion? Is making the occasional minute 61 or 59 seconds really so hard that millions of brilliant software engineers can’t solve it? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/science/time-leap-second.html
