hexa | AoE is something that came up with the SC election, and I find it much less intuitive | 02:22:55 |
hexa | Timezones are quite literally UTC offsets, which gives the math operation away 😄 | 02:23:23 |
hexa | Whereas I have no clue where the latest timezone on earth is 🤷 | 02:23:48 |
emily | I like AoE in theory except for the fact that "start of Monday AoE" and "end of Sunday AoE" are very different times :/ | 02:24:01 |
hexa | is AoE essentially UTC+14? | 02:24:30 |
hexa | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B14:00 | 02:24:35 |
emily | usually it's -12 | 02:24:57 |
emily | because -12 is the last timezone where a day ends | 02:25:08 |
hexa | oh right, wrong direction | 02:25:08 |
hexa | 4:25 am 😄 | 02:25:17 |
emily | right. except what tristan said about his interpretation would be +14 | 02:25:21 |
emily | so already there is confusion | 02:25:28 |
emily | the nice property of -12 is that if your clock shows the date before the freeze, you know it is safe | 02:25:58 |
emily | and you only have to arithmetic if it's after | 02:26:07 |
hexa | indeed | 02:26:09 |
hexa | I would buy UTC-12 | 02:26:21 |
