Read Original

The article uses a fictional scenario set in 1943 to illustrate the complexities of software date/time handling. It covers challenges like timezone differences (PST/MST), Daylight Saving Time transitions, locale-specific date formats (MM/DD vs DD/MM), and edge cases like changing timezone laws and geographical borders. It highlights real-world issues in scheduling algorithms and references the IANA timezone database.
