You're technically correct, which Futurama taught me is the best kind
of correct. I've seen it to mean "midnight at the end of the day" in
order to distinguish from "midnight at the beginning of the day". It's
functionally equivalent to 23:59:59.999999.
well, but more importantly, what day is it on?
If I say:
2019-08-20 at 00:00UTC I think I can guess this to be the very start of
that day, perhaps?
2019-08-29 at 24:00UTC is... what? the last miliseconds of that day and
thus really right next to 2019-08-30 00:00UTC?
If I say: 2019-09-29 at 18:00UTC we all know what time I mean I think,
or at least it's more clear than 00:00 and 24:00.
