Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Does this come up? I feel like if you're doing retrocomputing you assume a certain level of responsibility for your software breaking.
You can't be, can you? Ditto on that being the user's problem. My thing also isn't portable onto Zeus Z-2 or a billiard ball computer you built in your garage.
There's some weird shit in the crowdsourced ones. I don't even know where to start.
You heard of standby and the likes? What do you recon that does to programs calculating with time in that exact moment?
I... Actually don't know.
The real time clock continues to move in real time under reasonable conditions. If it's in a weird year it's either because you've decided to run a disk you found in a cave, left by the Ancient Ones, or you're cheating at Animal Crossing.
I'm a little unclear on how the rest of the clocks typically work together. If your program is drawing from one that gets stopped for a while, I guess yeah, a minute could totally be weeks long, and I'm in the picture as a falsehood believer.
Yeah, this and the name "falsehoods" thing is mostly nitpicking
