CarrotIsland ( @larouxn@beehaw.org ) 10•11 months agoSo glad this is the default in Japan. 🇯🇵 😌
President_Pyrus ( @President_Pyrus@feddit.dk ) 7•11 months agoI expected to see this when I looked at the comments, and you didn’t disappoint me!
VikingHippie ( @VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ) 4•11 months agoThat one for file sorting, the one in the pic for everything else.
Barry Zuckerkorn ( @BarryZuckerkorn@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months agoSorry, in Linux everything is a file, so there is no “everything else.”
VikingHippie ( @VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf ) 1•11 months agoLife extends beyond Linux, though. I was speaking in general terms.
lukini ( @lukini@beehaw.org ) 2•11 months agoNo, YYYY-MM-DD is fine for real life. Just drop the year when it doesn’t matter. Billions of people use this format.
riimoh ( @riimoh@discuss.tchncs.de ) 3•11 months agoSo if you communicate with someone you will specify the date in the year 2023 september 23rd we shall meet and not 23rd of september 🧐
Letstakealook ( @Letstakealook@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months agoBeautiful
xrun_detected ( @xrun_detected@programming.dev ) 61•11 months ago nickwitha_k (he/him) ( @nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org ) 4•11 months agoNo more comments necessary in this thread.
itsAllDigital ( @itsAllDigital@feddit.de ) 41•11 months agoWhat about YYYY/MM/DD?
KiofKi ( @KiofKi@feddit.de ) 20•11 months agoEven better, easier sorting.
Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 5•11 months agoYeah, that’s the one you use for filenames. Backup images and the likes.
panCatQ ( @jungekatz@lib.lgbt ) English6•11 months agoWorks , but MMDDYY ugh
Carlos Solís ( @csolisr@communities.azkware.net ) English20•11 months agoTired: ISO date format
Wired: milliseconds since the Unix Epoch
Galactic brain: Planck time units since the Big Bang
PlexSheep ( @PlexSheep@feddit.de ) 6•11 months agoImpractical waste of computing power and information storage
Carlos Solís ( @csolisr@communities.azkware.net ) 2•11 months agoNot if you encode it using an exponent. One Planck time unit is roughly 1.8 x 10-43 seconds, so with an exponent of 2128 (roughly 3.4 x 1038) you could write a second as 54510 x 2128 TP
Carlos Solís ( @csolisr@communities.azkware.net ) English2•11 months agoAnother fun fact, 2128+32 Planck time units are about 21 hours
ezures ( @ezures@lemmy.wtf ) 1•11 months agoAlso almost killed all computing in y2k
delvan ( @delvan@lemm.ee ) English18•11 months agoI like DDMMYY but for some reason when I include the time as ss:mm:hh nobody shows up to the event on time.
kkard2 ( @kkard2@lemmy.ml ) English11•11 months agoto make things as not confusing as possible, my rule of thumb is:
- yyyy-mm-dd (yyyy instead of yy ensures that it’s not mistaken for dd-mm-yy) (hyphens can be replaced with underscores)
- dd.mm.yyyy (yyyy same as above) (really dislike using for filenames, sorting doesn’t work)
- mm/dd/yyyy (only if there is no other choice) edit: mm/dd/yyyy vs mm/dd/yy doesn’t matter because both make 0 sense already edit2: i forgor to say that yyyy also avoids y2.1k and subsequent issues
Benign ( @Benign@kbin.social ) 13•11 months agoThe first one you listed is an ISO standard date format, and is the only way to go :)
kkard2 ( @kkard2@lemmy.ml ) English2•11 months agoif i write a date on paper i tend to go with 2, but yes
Samsy ( @Samsy@lemmy.ml ) 10•11 months agoI always wonder why old memes are losing pixels and quality. Like an old paper shared over the years.
ninchuka ( @ninchuka@lemmy.one ) 8•11 months agobecause they get downloaded from say reddit and then reuploaded again a year later or so which since most sites/services compress files uploaded they get worse and worse quality
Swarfega ( @Swarfega@lemm.ee ) English2•11 months agoIt’s the modern version of the VHS or cassette tape.
StalksEveryone ( @StalksEveryone@lemmy.villa-straylight.social ) 8•11 months agoyall trippin, it should be MMYYDD
Zozano ( @Zozano@aussie.zone ) 19•11 months agoLook at this moron. DY-MY-DM is the only logical date format.

Edit: fuck I see why my birthday wasn’t making sense now, you have the same digit of day and year

packardgoose ( @packardgoose@lemmy.ml ) 8•11 months agoI’d have to say April 25th because it’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.
renlok ( @renlok@lemmy.ml ) 7•11 months agoUnix timestamp for me thanks.
ForbiddenRoot ( @ForbiddenRoot@lemmy.ml ) English6•11 months agoTo eliminate this confusion I propose the days of the month should start from 13.
jimmux ( @jimmux@programming.dev ) 4•11 months agoDo we really even need months? They don’t even line up with the lunar cycle like they pretend to do.
Just give us Year/Day. On leap years we get an extra long New Year holiday.
