The 2016 leap second is later today[0], and I'm trying to make a countdown timer so I can see it happen.
I've tried to make a timer in Javascript using the built-in Date() method, but this dosn't show the special 23:59:60 that I want [1] (only true at timezone +0000). As a side question, how is the leap second handled in JS?
I also tried python's Datetime object, but that has the same results as in JS.
Is there a website or library to use that will show be a simple accurate date and time with a count down that goes to 60?
