I could get used to that, it's actually a great idea. Though probably impossible to implement due to inertia, at least currently.

A friend once mused that “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.” It’s one of the reasons I stopped being a watch guy (but more because I checked it compulsively but didn’t know what time it was when a coworker saw me check and ask the time).

Anyway, I prefer to try not to keep track of the time unless I need to be somewhere.

If you want to go the middle way, you could consider a one-hand watch.

As someone who has written a ridiculous amount of code that deals with date and time, I support this 100%.

I think you meant to link decimal time per Wikipedia?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No. But they are so similar, I'd be happy to adopt either. In fact, decimal time was actually used briefly.

Here is the link you wanted:

Wikipedia: Decimal Time

Then the wikipedia is wrong? Because what the website you linked calls metric time Wikipedia calls decimal

Me too. If the standards wouldn't be held by a private company.
