Was reading specification documents, as I do, and came across this "literary appreciation of the Olson/Zoneinfo/tz database" article by @judell

@darius @judell It's such a good collection. I like it so much that I once made fortune(6) database files of its commentary, and also a SQLite database for broader exploration.

@darius @judell I will always boost and upvote love for the Olson database. Date and time math was once very important to me, and tz was a gift from the time gods themselves.

@darius
Neat - by reducing it to *just* the lore and legend, the writer makes the whole fascinating nightmare more broadly accessible.

@darius The part about Gaza is especially poignant right now.
