Days since 2000 must be changed

Dy155

Should be changed from

(days since 2000)

to

(days since ():: sensing)

when I receive [no friends v]
cry :: looks

when I receive [friends v]
smile :: looks
be in a [happy v] mood :: looks

Because what if a scratcher wants to know the exact number of days since not 2000?
Even though its workaroundable:

((days since 2000) - ((...) * (pick random (365) to (366))))

or

((days since 2000) + ((...) * (pick random (365) to (366))))

Then use your workaround. No support.

You ought to be able to use some combination of

(current [day v])
(current [month v])
(current [year v])
(current [date v])

and a forumula that includes

 <<<((year) mod (4)) = [0]> and <not <((year) mod (100)) = [0]>>> and <(month) > [2]>>

plus an array of days in a month to write your own ‘days since’ function (which you can check using 1/1/2000 as a baseline)

No thank you.
1. We can only report number of days since 2000.

I'm dead lol

If you don't support, don't necro.

2. This block is required.

(days since 2000)

Semi-support, because there's leap years and all that. I don't think the days since 2000 block should be removed, though.

How would a date be entered into the number input? Also I don't think we should get rid of the Days since 2000 block since I use it more than I use the timer block for the same purpose. It's also useful for making the seconds hand go smoothly on analog clocks, determining time zones, and finding the current millisecond.

- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

I'd really like a milliseconds since 2000 and a “turn date into timestamp (time)”, days with (name) seems a little strange compared to (milli)seconds

he is not suggesting to remove the block

if you are reading this, ok

Sigton

I'm trying to think of how changing this block is useful.

Nope, can't see how.
1) it's actually very useful for clocks etc.
2) there's a simple workaround you yourself stated.
3) don't fix something that ain't broke.

You will see me mostly on the shout blocks forum. Blocks I suggested are: shout, when i shout, shout and wait, i shout, wait until i shout, repeat until i shout, while i shout, etc.

redgreenandblue

Support! Make a

Days till ( )::sensing

block.
The number input is a year. If it is something like 2015 it would be a negative number. If it is 2017 it would be positive.

SuperNicky

I don't really see any usefulness in the days since 2000 block, there's nothing that can go against its removal, however I do not see a practical use in a

(days since () )

block. And because of that, despite the cumbersome workaround, I do not support.
