Detect the most simple equality in the most conventional way.

So are they equal ? Well dates are the same, that’s the convention isn’t it? Localisation and time is what's different there. If you want to have time involved in the equation the logic step given our options is that you use DateAndTime So, again… Is this a bug or a feature? 1. Feature: our convention is injecting time in dates so we are injecting an incompatibility with intuition in exchange of a surprising precision* 2. Bug: Date #= should not compare start *a precision that is redundant because DateAndTime also have the #translateTo: feature > Sven > > On 01 Feb 2014, at 14:01, Sebastian Sastre <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Can somebody please clarify if this is a bug or feature? >> >> thanks >> >> >> >> >> On Jan 31, 2014, at 9:03 PM, Sebastian Sastre <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> self assert: Date today = Date today. >>> >>> today := Date today translateTo: 2 hours. >>> self assert: today = Date today >>> >>> Is this right? >>> >>> >>> >>> >> >> > >
