Adding milliseconds

[galano25]

ttyclock -s -m will show with milliseconds

does this work at all? how fast is the refresh rate in ncurses anyways? can we really get ~10ms updates that do something here? it's not like humans can distinguish one milisecond to the next either. 10ms, maybe, but even that's a stretch...

not convinced this is worth it...

ah, and i think you forgot to update the manpage. :)

Is there any problem here?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3808626/ncurses-refresh this seems pretty helpful, ngl I would love milliseconds for maximum hackerman vibes lol

yes, i have unanswered questions, see above. terminal latency is typically in the range of 10ms and up, and that's on a good day. i strongly doubt that we can show milisecond resolution, let alone have humans actually tell them apart.

chronometers typically only show two significant digits after the second, and the second one flashes by so fast that you can rarely tell it apart.

i'd say keep that to tenth of a second, and even then... i'm not sure i see the point.

Very useful branch that should be merged into master. I used it to test the latency on a camera by recording the terminal and the streamed video.
