      @argyris @posco And Ramadan, as I understand it, you don't even know exactly when it's going to end when you're right in the middle of it.

      @peterseibel @argyris but Easter comes at approximately the same time (never June). I don't think they meant the same date.

      @argyris @peterseibel okay. Maybe that delta is wide enough to disqualify from "same time each year". But the vast majority are ~ same time.

      @posco @peterseibel I think that there's a few other christian ones that move around. Most god related things are messy

      @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 @argyris @peterseibel oooh, then we'd get 4 weeks each month, too, and we could forget about biweekly vs semi monthly pay!
