the Little Saints Nick lyrics "Chrismas comes this time each year" are annoying asinine. True of all annual holidays http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-vAZabkn3U …
@argyris @posco @peterseibel not messy, just an extra constraint: each date should be roughly fixed w.r.t both the solar *and* lunar cycles.

@argyris@posco@peterseibel *you* try designing a calendar that satisfies that. -
@avibryant@argyris@peterseibel what if we move the moon and slow down the earth to make EXACTLY 365 days/year and EXACTLY 12 months/year. -
@posco@argyris@peterseibel 13 x 28 = 364 is simpler, surely? While you’re messing with orbits. -
@avibryant@argyris@peterseibel yes, that's very compelling. But 12 has so many divisors and 13 none. Tough call. -
@posco@argyris@peterseibel which reminds me: groupBy(_.midnightTimestamp).withReducers(96) leads to horrible skew.#hashCode -
@avibryant@posco@peterseibel this also reminds me that you were insisting on using pacific time for our hadoop rollups :) - End of conversation
