Yes. Not intentionally of course. But yes.
I don’t see how your way is any more predictable or consistent than using UTC. What even is “local time”? Are you assuming they haven’t changed timezone since they created the data? Say…DST happened, or they drove over a border…?
Storing and manipulating in UTC is the most predictable and consistent because it is universal and unchanging. You only need to worry about “local time” at the point of displaying it.
So many things would be fucked by a TZ change that it very rarely makes sense to consider it.
You’re making a calendar app? Fuck it…some folks are gonna get confused…solved by simply emailing your users and telling them to reschedule shit because there’s kind of a big event going on that everyone knows about and has been planning for for years. Hell in all liklihood this is probably easily solved by simply doing a mass migration of events scheduled before the TZ change.
You’re coding for nuclear weapons? Maybe consider it. But probably not.
That is to say: there are ways to solve problems without resorting to writing the most complicated bullshit code ever seen. Unless of course you work on my team - in which case you’d be right at home.
Maybe they’re planning on dying before then? In which case they’re fine.
Your comment is a full throated endorsement of just working in UTC up until the presentation layer. Whether you intended that or not is another question.
There are no gay people in Russia.
Yeah I’m curious as to whether there’s not merit in taking the imperfect codebase and improving it.
I agree mostly, but forks don’t need to keep the upstream. They can go their own way.
Could they not add HEVC support? Or is there some technical limitation that meant starting from zero was a good idea?
There’s still players, don’t worry.
Everyone seems to want to jump on the neg train but reality is that even games with tiny players numbers can still support multilayer matchmaking
It’s still the 35th most played game on steam.
I’d love to see you run xcode 16 code completion on your superior OS. Send me a link once you’ve uploaded the vid.
I see. Sorry for the offence.
My use of the word despicable instead of disgusting probably threw you off
This is despicable. What specific service was this? So I know how to avoid it if it should resurface.
In 1885 the legal age of consent in the UK was raised to 16. The average life expectancy of adults had barely changed.
So while this disproves your correlation theory, it’s also important to remind the reader that correlation is not the same as causation. Society, the role of government, the rule of law and its encroachment on personal choice changed hugely from the 13th Century and 17th Century - I would therefore claim that society would not have been accepting of paedophilia in the 13th Century despite the lack of law.
Sexual desire of prepubescent children has, as far as I know, never been considered the norm.
Yes. And that’s why life expectancy of a 20yr old was 60yrs not 80+.

Isn’t the average life expectancy caused by infant death? Anyone living through pubity probably had a good chance of living to 70.
Speaking of being an old man, let me tell you:
“The future is now old man” != “The future is now, old man.”
I genuinely tripped over this sentence thanks to the lack of punctuation.
It’s a good thing they included the coin for scale otherwise we might have just assumed this person had Trump sized hands (another completely valid and totally real unit of measure, the greatest unit of all time actually)
Omg thank you!
What makes you hate it?
