      We just shut down the servers for one day a year and reboot all of them. How hard can it be?

        Ok, and we just don’t process any of the data from that day, ever?

            I like this idea more and more. All computers off, noone is allowed to work, just a big new years party for everyone.

          Let’s be honest, we all could do with a bit less data processing.

      Kinda sounds easier to implement tbh, like, right now leap days are in a specific month, but wouldn’t it (in addition to a hypothetical new years day) be easier to handle and remember if they are a very explicit part of the calendar system?

        On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, now there is a day that is not part of a week, or a month. And we have a month and a week that don’t immediately follow after the previous one.
