中文导读
Tom Scott 为 Computerphile 录制的经典爆笑科普。他从一个简单的“计算事件发生于多久前”的网页功能讲起，把夏令时、时区变动、历法飞跃等深坑吐槽了个遍，最后情绪彻底失控。
为什么 HN 推它
HN 上解释“为什么千万不要手写日期时间解析”的御用视频，诙谐但全是血泪教训，几乎是每个后端程序员的入坑必看。
「刚接触时间与时区开发的同学绝对必看的避坑指南。」HN 网友原话：a must watch for developers just starting out with Timezones
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
Tom Scott explains for Computerphile why handling time and timezones in code is so hard, walking through a simple web app that computes how long ago something happened. It covers the quirks of timezones and calendars and ends in an exasperated rant.
It is the go-to funny, accessible explanation of why you should never implement datetime handling yourself, linked in nearly every timezone thread.
