- whycome 2y agoOr a sane dictator even
- hackeraccount 2y agoAlso implement one of those revised calendar schemes like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Fixed_Calendar
- pxeger1 2y agoWhat, so a second’s length changes? Or there is a variable and non-integer number of hours in a day? Or minutes in an hour?
- gryn 2y agohope you don't live near of the earth poles.
- tbrownaw 2y agoAt what granularity? Using a theoretical horizon, or the actual local horizon even for valleys? Most days aren't the equinox, so how would this deal with seconds being fixed but the 12 daytime hours being a different amount of actual time from the 12 nighttime hours? Would a kWh be a different amount of energy depending on what the date is and whether it's daytime or nighttime?
- Waterluvian 2y agoYes.
- joekrill 2y agoThen your 7am will almost NEVER match my 7am. Or anyone else's 7am. It may only be by nanoseconds, or it may be hours (i.e. east coast vs west coast USA). So how would that even work in the real world?
