I'm working with some data that has a large number of date formats within a single document - day seconds, week seconds, ISO8601, ticks, some with hardcoded offsets and others with different datums ... it would be quite funny I think to throw in a new column in the Hebrew calendar, just to join the party, so to speak.

The Hebrew calendar is a marvel of historical engineering and complexity. Both solar and lunar with exceptions to accommodate Shabbat and other holidays, and be consistent with the Torah.

I haven't seen glazing this hard at a cinnabun.

Thanks for the link! Better than the articles I came across before. It has a kind of GEB vibe to it which is nice.

Discussed on HN last year. The top comment has some other links you might be interested in:

That is a very good link. The top comment has direct implications for any software / report generation dealing with tidal (-> lunar) cycles. Perhaps using something non-ISO to store time on the inside could have its benefits.
