Remind HN: Changes Your Clocks Tomorrow (If you observe DST) (foxnews.com)

I remember last year watching the clock tick from 1:59 AM to 1:00 AM during a marathon coding session. For some reason, it's way more amusing than it should be.

How does one refer to the two hours labeled as 1-2AM? Is there an official way to do it, or just "first|second 1:30AM"? Of course, you could break out the POSIX timestamps...

I keep conjuring this mental image of a Law & Order case were the murder somehow gets off clean because he abused the ambiguity.


Did we need to have the link with this?


Someone would ask for a citation if he didn't, just by pure hacker habit.


And foxnews.com made the most sense, right? Good hacker friendly site. :D
