No More Leap Seconds; It's Now Leap Hours

Reality doesn't follow our time-keeping rules, because Earth's rotation isn't the same every day. Which was why we started having leap seconds ("23:59:60"; can your input-validation code handle this?) in some years since 1972. Of course, leap seconds bring pains to a lot of people, including software developers. So, we are now transiting to a new system: leap hours. All of us on this Earth today is unlikely to be alive for the first leap hour, predicted to be needed after 1,000 years from today. Essentially, we are sick of leap seconds, and we are pushing the problem to our future, future, future generation. ~ Link: Scientists Just Voted to Redefine How the World Keeps Time, by Emma Gometz, Scientific American
