I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
Wow. It’s a flashback to the 90s today (thanks to the news that twelve men and women agree that regardless of whether you’re malicious or stupid or malicious pretending to be stupid, you’re still guilty), with an all-text chron.com frontpage:
I’m trying to sleep until (very nearly) exactly every minute, on the minute. So I’m perplexed when, expecting to wake up at 10:54, I see the following: (from the Console log output)
2006-05-25 10:53:60.000 CuckooChimeAgent[1654] Wakeup @ 53:59
The code:
NSCalendarDate * now = [NSCalendarDate calendarDate];
int min = [now minuteOfHour];
int sec = [now secondOfMinute];
NSLog(@"Wakeup @ %02d:%02d", min, sec);
So I woke up at 10:54, but the calendar date still shows 10:53 and, apparently, sixty seconds. What the hell kind of time is 10:53:60?
