And then engineers forgot out the hardlimit on the date which led to a bug allowing da Vinci to become evil and acquire the holo emitter to escape the holo deck and start the Hologram Wars with all the EMH Mk 1s retired into labor.Last edited by skeevy420; 15 October 2020, 08:57 AM.

This isn't a real problem with complex builds which might take half a second to produce the output but every build also contains some small files which are essentially just copied into the output. A cached RAM to RAM file copy can be done in a few nanoseconds especially once NVDIMM storage gets involved.

It is very important for build dependency tools like Make or Ninja that file times clearly show when a file was created after its source file. Otherwise files either don't get rebuilt when needed, or files are rebuilt when they don't need to be.

Personally, I'd go for 128 bit Planck time. With that our timestamps would be at the limit of the resolution of the universe itself.
