Kinda sounds easier to implement tbh, like, right now leap days are in a specific month, but wouldn’t it (in addition to a hypothetical new years day) be easier to handle and remember if they are a very explicit part of the calendar system?
watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, now there is a day that is not part of a week, or a month. And we have a month and a week that don’t immediately follow after the previous one.
BlackRoseAmongThorns@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Very reasonable

You’ll also need plan for timezones as well.

We just shut down the servers for one day a year and reboot all of them. How hard can it be?
watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
Ok, and we just don’t process any of the data from that day, ever?

what happens on new years stays in new years
arken@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I like this idea more and more. All computers off, noone is allowed to work, just a big new years party for everyone.

So we basically make the Purge a reality?
maynarkh@feddit.nl 6 months ago
Let’s be honest, we all could do with a bit less data processing.
