Change the 'Days since 2000' Block?

Thelnvoker

Have you ever used this block?

(days since 2000)

I've rarely heard of anyone ever using it, so I think this block should be changed to a block more customizable.

What should this block be changed to?

I have an idea that instead of the block being a sensor for ‘days since 2000’ you can change the date.

It would look something like this:

(days since(2000)::sensing)//

This way it would count the number of days since the given date.

Thanks!

Abstract-

([days v] since year[2000]::sensing

Support for the above block instead of “Years since 2000” The default date should be 2000 though.

Dropdown menue options:

Days
Weeks
Months
Years

And if they put in a future year, like say, 3016, then it would say nothing.

Yeah. I support, perhaps a dropdown like this might be better for input validation:

(days since (5) of [January v] of the year [])

Just want to point out that the

(days since 2000)

provides it based on UTC, s you can get smebody's timezone by doing this:

set [timeZone v] to ( (((days since 2000) - ([floor v] of (days since 2000))) * (24)) - (current [hour v]) )

which makes the block useful. But yeah, I support

How long is a month? Its length is inconsistent so I don't think it should be a unit of time. Not to mention that an year can be confused as either 365.25 or 365 and 366.

Yes I have used the block, a lot. It's useful for calculating milliseconds or the time zone, an alternative to the timer (and can't be reset!), syncing everyone's values to the same time, etc.

But support for

(days since(2000)::sensing)//numeric input, default value

assuming that 0 = 1BCE, decimals work as normal, and it gives the days until a given year if the year hasn't occurred yet.

Oops… okay months can be removed, but I think years would count as 365.

Yes, this block would be more helpful for clocks.

How about:

([days v] [since/until v] year[2000]::sensing

No support because you can just subtract 365.25 days for every year
