I was watching the #KarenRead trial today, and it's been interesting to watch the opinions on databases and timestamps. If what was said about CLOCK_MONOTONIC being used to generate log timestamps is true, bad time programming could be involved in sending a woman to jail.

Explaining further: CLOCK_MONOTONIC always goes up, no matter what happens, even if your clock gets moved backwards because the time system realizes it's running too fast. It is the authoritative time source for durations, but is bad for telling absolute time.

@specbranch As a layperson, the technical testimony has been so difficult to follow. Very interesting though.
