The fuck you talking about? It’s 311223!

[-] zzz@feddit.de 144 points 10 months ago

ISO-8601 dictates 2023-12-31.

I must.

[-] Pea666@lemmy.world 52 points 10 months ago

At least this makes more sense than the American notation.

[-] hstde@feddit.de 35 points 10 months ago

It is very easily sortable.

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago

That doesn't say much.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 18 points 10 months ago

Nah bro this is the way. You're doing lord's job.

Best thing about Japan. Many things go 'largest to smallest', such as

  • Dates
  • Names
  • Addresses

And common use of 24h time time, too.

You live in a digitially organized folder?

[-] gornar@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Give it a whirl sometime!

[-] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

No. 2023-12-31 is the only correct representation.

[-] Designate6361@lemmy.letthewookiee.win 92 points 10 months ago

Get out of here with that Freedom date shit

Can't relate. It's 20231231 for me.

Edit: Also this format is superior for file sorting. All files are chronological.

In your time format: 010124 goes before 123123.

You could have 4 files dated: January 01, 2002; June 11, 2001; July 21, 2004; December 31, 2003

In your time format the files would be sorted like this:

010102
061101
072104
123103

It's 2002, then 2001, then 2004, then 2003. What a fucking mess.

In ISO 8601, there's no such issue.

Before you reply saying theres a sort by date feature, yes I know, but file creation date isn't the same as when the data is actually recorded. You could be inputting that data from a piece of paper in 2005 after the data being recorded in the years prior, so the creation dates would all be in 2005. Also, sometimes when copying files, the dates randomly reset. Putting the date in the filename ensures it wouldn't disappear due to OS shenanigans.

Meanwhile Linux (ext4) users are over here sorting by whatever we want.

With ctime, mtime and atime it doesn't matter what you call your files!

I use Arch btw

Strictly speaking in ISO 8601 it would be 2023-12-31.

[-] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Yea lol, but missing some dashes will still work for for file sorting.

[-] Zamotic@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago

I completely agree. Everyone always asks me why I suffix my filenames with the date like this (or YYYY.MM.DD). But this is so files sure up in correct order when sorted my name. It seems so obvious.

That's the international standard that sorts correctly. There is very little argument to do it any other way.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago

The international standard is 2023-12-31 (or 20231231 - the dashes are optional). You can't abbreviate the year.

Retard Units don't count.

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

If you're Murican, it'll look like that.

Not all of us are Muricans, so the date will actually look like 311223. I just realized that if there's an infinite chain of that number, you'll see the same number twice before going to the next one. That's way better than 123123 (which is just 123×7×11×13).

[-] hglman@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 months ago

If you trapped in a computer its 2023-12-31 which is a date and not anything eles.

Listen, non-Americans: We can't help it if your dating system is less fun than ours, okay?

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

REEEEEEEEEEE

but for real. It's actually more than just knowing it exists, sometimes it's forced upon us from software that isn't localised.

And my lord, excel when one mother fucker has mm/dd/yyyy set in their system settings means it changes the whole goddamned shared spreadsheet and dates are displayed (and thefore sometimes understood) incorrectly until someone notices.

Please, git gud at units USA

Stardate 77465.5 is good enough for me

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

All of those carping about US date notation: Shhh! Let them implode on their Day Of Destiny. It will leave so much more room and resources for the rest of you. And you can work out a whole new balance of planetary diplomacy without them unbalancing it.
