The Problem With Time and Time Zones- Computerphile

zaust says...

So that's everyone in the world except......Iceland. I quite literally live a 30 minute drive from Greenwich but for half the year I'm not in it's timezone.

The astrophysicists need to be able to reliably predict when leap seconds will be needed and then the world switch to a UTC which is on a four week cycle with no leap year bullcrap.

Edit in fact I'd ditch the whole hour minute thing altogether and mark each day as a percantage. That would negate the UTC weirdness and instead of going to work 9-5 you'd go 37.5 - 70.8 or in utc for new york (gmt-4 currently) 20.8 - 54.1

Can't you (or shouldn't you) rely on the OS to handle this stuff? Seems a bad idea to put this functionality in your own program where it then has to be continuously maintained by you.

Ultimately, as the planet continues to get functionally smaller, we all need to shift to UTC and no DST. Everyone who doesn't live in GMT will just have to get used to sunrise at 11:00, lunch at 17:00, and sunset at 00:00 or whatever the local equivalents are.

My team at work has people in EST5EDT, GMT, AEST, and CST. My company also has people in IST, CET, MSK, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT, etc. And, of course, we have customers in every populated time zone on the planet. It's a constant pain in the ass to be doing these conversions.

The device I am working on now, I keep the UTC in a real time clock, then the offset from that for local in whole seconds, and then a +1 optional hour for daylight savings.

Play Corey Haim Off, Keyboard Cat

RedSky says...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corey_Haim

Death

On March 10, 2010, Corey Haim was taken to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, and pronounced dead at 2:15 a.m. (10:15 UTC). Los Angeles police said that his death appeared to be accidental and may have been due to an overdose, but that no illicit drugs were found at the scene. However, Haim had been ill with flu-like symptoms for two days before his death and his publicist discounted the possibility of an overdose, citing his recent clean living. Prior to the official autopsy reports being made available publicly, Haim's mother stated that the coroner's preliminary finding was that he died of pulmonary congestion and was suffering from an enlarged heart and water in the lungs.[21]

Corey Feldman spoke with Larry King on the day of Haim's death,[22] stating:

"...He was his own enemy. I mean, look, a lot of people that are artists tend to be their own worst enemy because we're passionate people... Most recently he's been, honestly, in the best frame of mind that he's ever been in, in the past year..."

Feldman added that Haim had died "very destitute" and alone.[23]

UTC / GMT is the only way to go.

Alternatively, the internal server time could be displayed differently for each user, such that I would see it as GMT+1, and someone else saw it as CST, while the server internally could use an arbitrary time zone, as long as it's the same for everything.

^I see your point, but I think a time zone chooser would only add to the confusion. If I chose one time zone for my time stamp and you chose another, then one of us would have to convert our time to the other's in a dupe dispute, and the whole reason we're doing this is to simplify things, not make it more difficult.

We don't have to use Pacific time, mind you. I really don't care which one we use, as long as we're all using the same one. How about UTC?

I want a lot of things, but they're just not in the cards.

I have no idea what Central standard time is, it's one of those American things like not using the metric system. Give me an UTC/GMT dammit!
