`Timex.from_now` unexpected result
Steps to reproduce
timex 3.7.8
{:ok, dt, 0} = DateTime.from_iso8601("2022-07-30 17:06:27Z")
{DateTime.utc_now(), Timex.from_now(dt)}
# {~U[2022-08-01 08:20:03.093411Z], "yesterday"}
{:ok, dt, 0} = DateTime.from_iso8601("2022-07-29 17:17:39Z")
{DateTime.utc_now(), Timex.from_now(dt)}
# {~U[2022-08-01 08:21:43.460553Z], "2 days ago"}
Description of issue
- What are the expected results? All of those results seem to be off by 1 day by my understanding.
Yesterday is the day before today, which from the perspective of 2022-08-01 is 2022-07-31, not 2022-07-30. Also in the same context I'd consider 2022-07-29 to be 3 days ago, though that one feels a bit more open to interpretation.
- If you are certain this is a bug in Timex, do you have references I can use to check the algorithm/logic against? For instance, a well-established date/time library in another language, a paper, test suite, etc. It is by no means a requirement, but is immensely helpful in fixing bugs, and provides me extra data to use when building out the test suite
