New years day is always a holiday that doesn't fall on any other day of the calendar. It's just kind of its own thing. No idea how that would actually work irl but that is usually how this proposal is explained.
As a software engineer, I beg of you
We just shut down the servers for one day a year and reboot all of them. How hard can it be?
Ok, and we just don’t process any of the data from that day, ever?
what happens on new years stays in new years
I like this idea more and more. All computers off, noone is allowed to work, just a big new years party for everyone.
So we basically make the Purge a reality?
EVER
Let's be honest, we all could do with a bit less data processing.

Just invent 0. Array starts from 0 so can new year
Zero Nonuary.
You've been given the zeroth place
And leap year?

Kinda sounds easier to implement tbh, like, right now leap days are in a specific month, but wouldn't it (in addition to a hypothetical new years day) be easier to handle and remember if they are a very explicit part of the calendar system?
On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, now there is a day that is not part of a week, or a month. And we have a month and a week that don’t immediately follow after the previous one.
Very reasonable
You'll also need plan for timezones as well.
