yyyy-mm-dd and confusion no more.
This. On top of being obvious at a glance, your file names and folder names sort nicely if use this format.
Until Y10k rears its ugly head.
Why is no one talking about this??? Ostriches in the sand…
Dont know if it’s true or not, but I always assumed it was because the numbers get bigger left to right. Only 12 months, 30ish days, thousands of years.
I, too, am an 8601 enthusiast. Stupid America means we need to go y-m-d for date ordering to not be ambiguous.
Good taste,
YYYY-MM-DDis obviously superiorI too agree with the woman
ISO 8601
09/12_20/30_2024/inf
Unix epoch time. It has a cool name and I get to pretend its a Star Date.
The perfect date is YYYY/MM/DD. US and every where else conflict with DD/MM/YYYY & MM/DD/YYYY.
Path separators in my date strings? Hell no!
Sanitize your inputs. Become delimiter agnostic!
I control the date format, why would I choose something that requires additional logic to handle?
RedWeasel loaded slashes into your stream today though.
This is a discussion about choice of date format, not choice of date parser.
Why do some people insist on doing big-endian dates? Little-endian (YYYY-MM-DD) is trivially alphanumerically sortable. Also, it’s part of the goddamn ISO standard for standardized date format.
Which is why the guy in the comic will “die single”.
