One day I am going to reach the height of technological sophistication, and every clock in my house will handle daylight savings automatically.
I'm not there yet. I think modern appliances are getting better though.
(Does a microwave really need to know the current time?)

Here's a weird UI pattern I haven't seen before. This sanitizer will keep things clean for 24 hours, so the time counts *down*.
Every time I see it, it looks like 24 hour clock showing the wrong time!
A cute systemd feature to get the system clock roughly correct: if the system time is before the compilation time of the systemd binary, it moves the clock forward to that time!

@tristanC That's an option! There's often cases where you know what the user wanted though, so you can provide a sensible AST that the toolchain can handle.
For example, a malformed string literal can still be parsed a string so type checking etc can be helpful.
