What I don't understand is why there's an insistence on keeping the rate of
UTC identical to TAI and inserting leap seconds. Why not just define the
UTC second to be the advancement of Earth's 0-longitude line by 15
arcseconds relative to the sun (in other words, make the Earth's rotation

Yeah, thanks, complete waste of time. If any decent programmer believes
even a quarter of that list, they aren't very good programmers.
(admittedly, there are 2 or 3 items on that list that don't appear to be
falsehoods, but I leave that up to the experts, since 99 percent of the

Not that it matters, but I understand all of those things (and more)
just fine.
What the computer does to represent time has absolutely no bearing on
any of those external processes in any way shape or form.
For all it matters, the computer could use a huge number of locations in
memory, and

You might be surprised to learn the Earth's rotational speed actually

I've installed FreeDOS in QEMU on my Linux PC (the same PC used in all
my previous tests) and attached an IMG file as floppy, created exactly
in the same way as the others IMG floppy, and as expected no issue at
