Thanks I will imagine this! Too bad we can’t slow the real Earth time down and have a bizarrely slow and long day every 4 years.
- fooker 3y agoLeap hours would be neat!
- petre 3y agoNot if you write code that calculates time.
- ASalazarMX 3y agoI guess that would still be neat when finished.
- firecall 3y agoI guess it wouldn’t matter if the code was calculating time offsets and so on. But it would matter if I wanted something to take 60mins and then set a start time and an end time. Dates and timezones are the worst! :-)
- GauntletWizard 3y agoWe had one of those last weekend (At least in most of the US)
- ant6n 3y agoIn Europe, some weeks before. Cuz why shouldn’t we have a time difference that’s different for a couple of weeks compared to the usual, it’s not like ppl in CET and EST ever have meetings together.
