(That said, most datetime libraries, in practice, tend to behave very weirdly if you go back a few thousand years, if they'll put up with it at all...)
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 2y agoWhen they were removing the Christ from dates they should have just made it an integer.
- garaetjjte 2y agoIf you extend Gregorian calendar before 1582, I think it's reasonable to interpret numerical year number as 1 => AD 1, 0 => 1 BC, -1 => 2 BC (that would be proleptic Gregorian calendar with astronomical year numbering?)
