07/12/2017, 8:24 PMit would be a shock but if we can learn to drive death traps called cars or enslave armies of electrons to do our bidding certainly we could abolish time zones - n

07/12/2017, 8:25 PMperhaps we should try something easier first, like getting the US to use metric units➕ 2😂 1 - r

07/12/2017, 8:34 PMam/pm needs to die, 24h00 clocks should be the norm regarding time-zones, timezones are there for a reason, if you need to do something at the same time, use GMT / UTC as reference and then just do all your things in GMT / UTC instead of your local timezone - t

07/12/2017, 8:38 PMright we need time zones still because we are trying to coordinate trains like in the late 1800s when they were actually useful. never mind that we have the internet to do a much better job of assisting coordination 😉 - o

07/12/2017, 8:52 PMdidn’t Java fix time? (after 20 years?) the NeXT code for time/dates was better than Java’s and does as per stated.. - c

07/12/2017, 8:53 PM‘there are two kinds of programmers: ones who think time/dates are easy and ones who’ve worked on problems that have them in it..’ - o

07/12/2017, 9:45 PMNo, Java didn’t fix time. I had to rebuild and redeploy an app recently, because some tz magic wouldn’t pick by just updating JDK and tz info - r

07/12/2017, 11:02 PMDoes it include scale as well? If yes, it’s probably just a transform… - k

07/12/2017, 11:07 PMWhat’s the difference between URI and URL? - k

orangy
07/12/2017, 11:11 PMYeah, that’s quite a bit of philosophical musings, like if it locates but not identifies and vice versa - k
karelpeeters
07/12/2017, 11:21 PMOkay my take on this: a URI is anything that identifies some resource, for example
is a URI but not a URL. A URL additionally says how to get that resource, for examplemysite/mypage.html
says we have to get this resource using the http protocol.<http://mysite/mypage.html> - o
