Nearly every phone and computer on Earth relies on one plain-text file to know what time it is.
When a country changes its clocks with a few weeks’ notice, or Morocco pauses daylight saving for Ramadan, someone has to update that file. Since 02005, that someone has been Paul Eggert, a computer science professor at UCLA, who does it as a volunteer.

Such a fantastic gothic romance. Neither fully pulp slasher or arthouse, something beautiful in-between, not much like it. If you ever get the opp to see this on the big screen, you should. A gorgeous looking film and the sound design hits so hard in a theater

There’s a book about this called “Why Does He Do That” by Lundy Bancroft — every woman should read it
