While initially introduced as a way to get in leisure activities while the sun was still up for shift workers, the real push came from Germany in World War I in 1916. While proposed and lobbied earlier, daylight saving time came to fruition on Jin Port Arthur Ontario. Daylight Saving Timeĭaylight saving time (DST), is another concept that many of us are familiar with, programmer or not. These time zones were officially set in stone by the Standard Time Act on March 19,1918 by the United States Congress. Dowd proposed four time zones with the first centered on Washington D.C. While the idea was thought of earlier it was in 1870 that Charles F.
The travelers back then got a lucky break, and started current developer headaches, in 1870. This became extremely confusing as commonly each railroad was on a different clock. In America each railroad used it’s own standard time based on the local time of it’s headquarters to publish it’s train’s schedules. Before the introduction of time zones cities used mean solar time, but seeing as this could be off by 15 minutes it became increasingly inconvenient as railway cars would be very late or early depending on where you were. Time zones became a thing in the early 19th century as railway’s became increasingly prevalent. Bob, who lives in Miami has already clocked in an hour ago at 7AM and it takes another hour (at 9AM) for Jim in Houston to clock in! What is going on?! Do we have some sort of mutiny on our hands?! Before you phone the HR lead you laugh to yourself. Now lets say that it’s 8AM in our Headquarters in Chicago and we’re expecting all of our employees to begin clocking in so we go and check our records. Seems pretty straight forward right? We could just have a button on a page and when the user clicks it we store that time in the database along with the user’s Id and a reason (Clock In, Clock Out, Start Break, End Break). This is going to be web-based and allow our employees to clock in, take breaks, and clock out of their shift regardless of where they are in the world. Let’s first start off by saying we’re building an employee time-clock application. Since I’m based in the United States that’s where I’m focusing at but the same ideas can be easily transferred to other parts of the globe. I guess I probably need to get down into the nitty-gritty and try to better explain myself. With call centers everywhere and many with different departments in different time zones, time is still my biggest enemy. Currently I’m working for Pivot and focusing mainly on telecommunication solutions. Only after changing website hosts did I realize that this was sitting in my drafts and I have to tell you it still holds true today. For some reason or another I never came back to finish it. Okay, so I’m not going to lie I originally started writing this post over a year ago when I was working at LocalMed LLC (great company and service BTW) dealing with various dental practices in different time zones. “We were in the right place at the right time, but unfortunately, we were in the wrong time zone.” Handling time sounds like a fairly straight forward process, right? Get the current time, store it somewhere, and display it when you need to. You have race conditions, thread locks, cache validation, and many others, but one thing can be one of the biggest headaches if not taken into account.
