The idea is to break it up into something that is useful to think about\nthroughout the day.\n\nTake a unix timestamp, say 1669041854, and observe how often each decimal place\nin the number will change as time passes. For example, the first number in the\n1 billons place will change every 31.7 years. The second number will change\nevery 3.7 years.\n\n```\n  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10\n[ 1 ][ 6 ][ 6 ][ 9 ][ 0 ][ 4 ][ 1 ][ 8 ][ 5 ][ 4 ]\n  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |\n  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    └─ 1 second\n  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |    └─ 10 seconds\n  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    └─  1.6 minutes\n  |    |    |    |    |    |    └─ 16.6 minutes\n  |    |    |    |    |    └─ 2.8 hours\n  |    |    |    |    └─ 1.1 days\n  |    |    |    └─ 11.6 days\n  |    |    └─ 115.7 days (about on third of a year)\n  │    └─ 3.7 years\n  └─ 31.7 years\n```\n\nSome notable facts about each of these large number of seconds:\n\n1. 1 billion seconds (1 gigasecond) = 31 years 251 days 13 hours 21 minutes 28 seconds\n2. 100 million seconds = 3 years 61 days 16 hours 19 minutes 4 seconds\n3. 10 million seconds = 115 days 17 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds\n4. 1 million seconds (1 megasecond) = 11 days 13 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds\n5. 100 thousand seconds = 1 day 3 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds\n6. 10 thousand seconds = 2 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds\n\n## The myriad time\n\nI have determined the first six numbers are useful for breaking up the day into\n2.8 hour chunks.\n\nThat is what I call a myriad. Myriad means 10,000, and so if you divide the\nunix timestamp by 10,000 you get the current timestamp in myriads.\n\nViewing it as a myriad, you get the timestamp like this: 144904.1854, and it is\neasier for your brain to look at.\n\n## Usage\n\nI wrote this python script to produce the current myriad time and notable\ntimestamps throughout the day.\n\nExecuting `./myriad` by itself produces the current myriad time, e.g. `166912.8917`.\n\nExecuting `./myriad --checkpoints` will show some useful myriads for the current day:\n\n```\n☾ 166909.6800 2022-11-22 00:00:00\n  166910.0000 2022-11-22 00:53:20\n  166911.0000 2022-11-22 03:40:00\n  166912.0000 2022-11-22 06:26:40\n▶ 166912.8917 2022-11-22 08:55:17\n  166913.0000 2022-11-22 09:13:20\n☼ 166914.0000 2022-11-22 12:00:00\n  166915.0000 2022-11-22 14:46:40\n  166916.0000 2022-11-22 17:33:20\n  166917.0000 2022-11-22 20:20:00\n  166918.0000 2022-11-22 23:06:40\n  166919.0000 2022-11-23 01:53:20\n```\n\nIt lists the myriad time at midnight, noon, the current time and then for each\nmajor myriad until the next day.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsumpygump%2Fmyriad","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsumpygump%2Fmyriad","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsumpygump%2Fmyriad/lists"}
