today we ran into the issue of scheduling a process to run โevery month on the 30thโ
we are lucky to develop systems that ran just in one planet. have you thought about how it is to develop a inter galact system that handle date, time, clocks and timers?!
I've encountered the February 30th problem myself. Also suffered an interesting issue where date arithmetic was performed by adding/subtracting 24hrs per day. Except one day each year has 25 hours, while another one has 23.
Let's just count from the theoretical start of time and call it a day :thinking_face:
Then whenever someone messes it up we can yell at them for messing with the space time continuum
java.time makes me very happy in this regard. I can directly ask for the end of the month.
Will people living on Mars have to use our primitive and antiquated clocks on Earth just to get by?
Required reading when dealing with time. https://infiniteundo.com/post/25509354022/more-falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-time
