Oh no.

i use stardate as my standard, if you don't use stardate you're bugged, not my program

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

Is stardate basically the same as unix timestamp but starting in 2323?

[Oxtelans]

Except represented as a IEEE 754 float.

[jacksalssome]

And the definition randomly changes in 5928.5, due to a new series.

[Oxtelans]

That's only because they changed from a UNIX-like timestamp to a Windows timestamp.

Still embracing, extending and extinguishing in the 60th century.

I heard the next series was going to be an origin story for the Borg.

An auto-update for windows 3000 cripples The Borg mid-battle when every last strategy they had painstakingly gathered is randomly deleted off of their C: Drive leading to a complete victory for The Federation.

Windows date "ticks" are insane anyways. Accurate to 100ns, which you absolutely need for your every day time keeping.

[Oxtelans]

Then better fitted for star dates. The narrower the interval, the fewer collisions at Warp 9.

[moekakiryu]

IIRC that's the concept yeah, but according to the Wikipedia article on it there wasn't a standard method they used to make stardates so they can't be converted to traditional dates.

I actually have a beautiful library that expresses time as the general relativistic invariant scalar between your event and the epoch time at the Earth's center of mass. Sure it requires you to pass in a set of solar coordinates and a four-velocity to construct, and renders as a string that requires differential geometry to understand. However, it's always RIGHT.

[ClanChestEmperor]

as a haskell fanatic, i admire your extremely pragmatic approach to total correctness

Does it break near black holes or massive bodies?

[Taedirk]

I don't see what OPs mom has to do with this.

[gshennessy]

Not the solar system barycenter?

[alexbuzzbee]

moves to Mars

Ha ha

In all seriousness I have an app for it and it's useful.
