If only I had a numeric type that could hold the value of how many seconds since the creation of the Universe, without overflowing, I'd be set.

The only code with timezones should be the bit squishy meat bags touch. Everything's is should be UNIX time. Or it you are unfortunate enough to be on Windows, NT time.

Some unfortunate programmers already have to deal with the speed of time not being a constant. In a distant future, timestamps might always have a universal position (and speed), and is that much different from timezones?

Or we find some way of removing time distortion of physics. Find the universe's real systick. 😃

I'm not a developer but give him one for me too

Move to International Atomic Time timezone. clock_gettime(CLOCK_TAI, ...) and stop complaining.

DST is a digital STD

I just discovered that while the ServiceNow APIs return all times in UTC, they use the user's default time for all times passed in as a parameter.

So if your account is set up in PDT and you say "give me this item that I just created", it will say "here your item, this was created at 17:00".

But if you say, "cool let me see all items created in the last hour, so anything greater than 16:00", then it will respond "got nothing for ya, chief."

Would be more appropriate if it was the datetime library creator.
