Shit. That thing is supposedly hard to understand.
To paraphrase Churchill “Never was so much owed by so many to a single man”, NTP has been a critical aspect of XXIst century, from making highly complex clusterized systems work reliably to saving you the pain of adjusting the clock in your smartphone. If you have used even a single networked electronic device for a millisecond in your life, you owe the man some thanks.

I’ve been seeing this on Lemmy lately, why are people going to roman numerals? Do we hate Arabic now? It’s not saving keystrokes unless I’m crazy?
in certain parts of the world they really ingrained in us that roman numerals are the proper way to do it and it’s very hard to shake off, apologies
And could we please all remember the age of these folks and people like Vint Cerf when some fool drags out that old canard about old people not understanding new technology. No, only lazy or stupid old people don’t understand technology they didn’t grow up with. There’s just lots of them. And unless you are open minded and put in the effort, then you could end up fitting the stereotype because many of us are not as smart as we think
No, only lazy or stupid old people don’t understand technology they didn’t grow up with.
In fairness, plenty of young lazy and stupid people also don’t understand technology they did grow up with.
Consumerism breeds sloth.
Kings and Queens of convenience who know no lack, will never learn to hack.
