I did not know that you can get time from GPS/Glonass before that.

Many things use gps time especially cell towers to sync radio cycles

#13Anyone else can't stand the anti-chronological format? It's not a changelog!
No, but it is a log. He just kept adding new entries to the top by the look of it.

#14Super persistence and what a nice result. Nixies are really quite neat, I love the shapes of the digits (compared to LED digits).
Last year I cleared out an old warehouse that I owned (and have now sold) and I came across a box with a whole pile of nixies. Tossed them into the trash, if I had realized what they were worth... The inner pack-rat in me weeps.

It's exactly a changelog, blog, newsfeed, any number of things that read in this "newest news first" order.
This is the user friendly order for the repeat visitor and if that's not you, it's not for you. Your one time experience is suboptimal so the recurring interested audience visit is optimal.
That your HN-typical nitpicking was on top of this artisan's thread annoyed me, so I ordered a clock.

GPS/Glonass satellites are (by simplification) only orbital atomic clocks with a radio transmitter.
