(well, "interesting" if you're a weird nerd, a data scientist, or an astronomer, but i suspect that most people who pay any attention to me are at least one of those three):
- no leap seconds between 2035-2135
- four new unit prefixes for Really Big (ronna, quetta) and Really Small (ronto, quecto) values!
In honor of this, i would like to request that someone create art of a quectoEggBug.
this is the most amazing news that doesn't matter except to programmers! we've almost abolished leap seconds!
they'll be dead in 2035, and by 2135, nobody will remember what they were for (because they are not for anything) or how a standards organization concern-trolled themselves into implementing them in 1972
UTC timestamps will become monotonic just in time for a bunch of computers to accidentally subtract 2^32 from them for a different reason
