The Problem with Time & Timezones - Computerphile

This will probably resonate with people here[1]. A brilliant video by Tom Scott for Computerphile, where he starts to explain what coding timezones correctly is like and by the end of it is in full polite-mini-rant-mode :D [1] [VIDEO]

Obligatory post to Computerphile episode about Timezones - a must watch for developers just starting out with Timezones [VIDEO]

An excellent video touching on some of the intractable aspects of our datetime-marking system's personality quirks: [VIDEO]

There is a great (humorous) Computerphile video about this topic: "The Problem with Time & Timezones" [0] [0] [VIDEO]

Computerphile did an excellent overview of time zones and all their complexities in the context of programming: [VIDEO] I was quite surprised by some of the stranger rules out there, especially the regions that chose to skip a day for whatever reason. Timezones are complex! Far, far more complex than simple offsets.

>Just try to explain to everyday people just how hard the problem is A bit off topic but Computerphile / Tom Scott did an excellent video doing that [VIDEO]

I really enjoyed this. And I think no one mentioned the very related Computerphile video yet: "The Problem with Time & Timezones " [VIDEO] Same topic, equally entertaining (not AS geeky though).

> such a reasonable, trivial task? Tom Scott has a pretty good video explaining exactly why writing code about time is not trivial: The Problem with Time & Timezones - Computerphile [VIDEO]
