Also per the article:
“A negative leap second would do the opposite: instead of the clock pausing, it
would skip forward. The sequence would run 23:59:57 → 00:00:00, with 23:59:58
and 23:59:59 simply not existing.”
I sure hope I’ve never built software that subtracts one second by skipping two.
Indeed, as per my previous email.
