alt Hacker News> Note the day/night line is a bit tilted – it's not exactly perpendicular to the sun. This is because, as I write this, Croatia uses DST (Daylight Saving Time) – we intentionally shift time to have more daylight in the evening. While this shortens daylight in the morning, most people are asleep at that time so won't mind it.
Erm, WTF? DST does not change when dawn and sunset occur relative to solar noon. So what exactly is this showing?

Came to write this. That sentence is clearly nonsense. Either you display the sun, or you don't. Don't display it in the wrong position!
That's a good catch! The clock is inspired by the solar noon (uses sun as the anchor), but shows clock time, so it can be of practical use.
Rereading the post, I notice I haven't made that distinction clear.
