The fuck you talking about? It’s 311223!
ISO-8601 dictates 2023-12-31.
I must.
At least this makes more sense than the American notation.
It is very easily sortable.
That doesn’t say much.
Nah bro this is the way. You’re doing lord’s job.
Any other method is madness. I think I’m going to make this a requirement in my contracts
Get out of here with that Freedom date shit
I’m sorry you can’t enjoy our freedom dates. I’ll pour some of my drink out on the floor for you on New Years.
Everyone else: 311223
It’s 231231 where I live
You live in a digitially organized folder?
Give it a whirl sometime!
311223 gang.
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 123103It’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.
Retard Units don’t count.
No, it’s 31DEC23.
;)
While I prefer ISO6801, this is what I write on paper and free text date fields, just to eliminate ambiguity.
