at least computer scientists, would argue against the efficacy and accuracy of the Gregorian calendar.

Agreed. If I had it my way, basically everything would be using unix time.

I refuse to believe anything before Jan 1 1970 even happened

And if anything did happen, it wasn't any good.

Signed integers are the best integers.

Agh you sound like a C programmer. Just have a function do it for you.

I'm actually full stack C#

Seasons get a wee bit tricky with 13 as the number of weeks.

How so? They are based on equinoxes and solstices.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

but 13 weeks doesn't divide nicely into the equinoxes, so seasons will start at weird times in the weeks. 12 Months is divisible by 4 so seasons can begin at the same day every 3 months.

What would Unix time improve? Yeah let's schedule to meet at 1693456789, repeating every 7*86,400 seconds.

Time zones are a mess, but that's not the fault of the calendar.
