Dates are a nightmare even before you start accounting for public holidays. There’s a whole bunch of calendar and Timezone changes, and valid dates and times that simply don’t exist. Early in my career I had a bug that involved some date in February 1923 not occurring in Greece. I think I eventually fixed it, but I was never 100% sure.
- macksd 3y agoOohh interesting. From the Wikipedia article on February, 1923: February 28, 1923 (Wednesday) The nation of Greece used the Julian calendar for the last time before adopting the Gregorian calendar, used by most of the world, the next day. In that the Julian calendar was 13 days behind the Gregorian, the day was noted as "February 15". The next day was March 1 rather than February 16.
