How much do #Python clocks progress in "60 seconds"?

CLOCK_BOOTTIME 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 56.0
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952
CLOCK_REALTIME 60.6
CLOCK_TAI 60.6
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952

Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is tracking the hardware #clock correctly.

So if you actually want to measure #time accurately, use that one.

Well, my bosses have decided that even though I can name about five combinations of any two of our retail clients who outspend the entire USGov contract pile, they're going to bend the knee to the EOs and suspend our DEI board.

I need a new job by monday, and at this point I'm willing to wash dishes to do it. But if you know anyone who needs a Principal or Senior SRE, or could use a python dev for some backend-related purpose, I can be found at: mercenary AT arcanalabs DOT ca

This isn't an immediate solution, but I've been wondering if there could be a market for an app that we as consumers could use to tabulate micropayments locally (either based on browser history or based on the user opting to hit a "planned donation" button), and which would then generate an invoice and/or facilitate a transaction with a particular recipient either at the end of the year or when a given recipient accumulates enough planned micropayments to add up to an amount large enough to make electronic transfers or credit card payments economical.

This is something I wish existed (open source, local, encrypted, and privacy-respecting of course), but I don't have the no-how to implement it.  If anyone wants to make it happen, please feel free to steal this idea.

We all see how that has worked out 🙄
