  • \$\begingroup\$ Is it "local date at 00:00:00" + n seconds or "local date at local time" + n seconds? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 15, 2021 at 13:46
  • \$\begingroup\$ In my case, putting new Date() gives the date at my local time, but that might not be true in other languages. It depends on the language \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 15, 2021 at 13:47

    \$\begingroup\$ Was the negative-number requirement to avoid solutions like sleep $n;date being a valid bash answer? I notice there's no performance requirement :P \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 16, 2021 at 2:14

    \$\begingroup\$ It's generally accepted that CodeGolf answers that provably work for large test cases are fine, even if nobody has time to wait for them to finish, so for example O(e^n) or n! time and/or space complexity is fine for a problem that would normally take much shorter, like log(n) time. But when the "run-time" couldn't be sped up with a faster computer, so it can never produce an answer before the specified time, yeah that's stretching it in my opinion, too. And a different sort of reason for being slow than the usual excuse. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 16, 2021 at 8:25
