YYYY-MM-DD for files, DD-MM-YYYY for normal use

SendMePhotos,

Wtf why

bamboo,

Agreed, YYYY-MM-DD should be normal use

Gabu,

Because for 99.99% of all situations, you’d already know what year and month it is, so the most readily available piece of information should be the day.

Zanz,

If you already know the year and month why write it. ISO or month day are the two most reasonable. You need to zoom in not give yourself a list of options and then randomly pick one later.

noobnarski,

So its possible to properly sort by date?

SendMePhotos,

A proper date sort would be YYYYMMDD

    Because in short, it’s alphabetical. It will always be in order by year, then month, then day. Literally like how a clock goes HH:MM:SS it’s the same thing as YY:MM:DD the right side ticks the fastest. It’s in order by hour (year) then minute (month) then second (day). SAME SAME WHY NOT

    YYYYMMDD for files
    DDDD DD for normal use

    Goldmaster,

    Iso date format. Anything to do with photos is best to have in this format at the start of the filename.

    Fixt.

    CheeseToastie,

    It also means that by default it’ll sort by newest

    darkbaron202,

    It actually makes sense when you put YYYY/MM/DD in filenames as they will be sorted pretty neat (ex: reports)

    Thranduil,

    Yeah for a lot of files you probably would sort by year in the end

    Engywuck,

    TBH, Japanese format makes sense when you use it to name files/directories, as sorting by “name” is equivalenti to sorting by “last modified”.

    dtrain,

    equivalenti

    Love typos that force me to read comments with an Italian accent

    Engywuck,

    I’m actually italian, lol, but that was a genuine typo.

    Until you need to work across centuries. Then it’s eating paste level.

    EPBJ,

    May I chime in with a DD MMM YYYY as in 22 NOV 2023

    DahGangalang,

    The real superior option (except when naming files)

    runner_g,

    I chime in with a “haven’t you people ever heard of… DDMMMYYY?”

    They were obviously referring to foreign banks, duh.

    darq,
    @darq@kbin.social avatar

    Yeah but half the time is actually: EYY/MM/DD. Like this year is 令5/MM/DD.

    And some years have two values, 2019 was both 平31, from 01/01 until 04/30, then 令1 from 05/01 onwards.

    MisterFrog,
    @MisterFrog@lemmy.world avatar

    Wat? Like their alphabet, do the Japanese have some double system?

    China does this normally. Either YYYY.MM.DD OR YYYY年MM月DD日

    darq,
    @darq@kbin.social avatar

    Yes, they have two date systems in common use. It's only the year that changes though. And there's no way to confuse the two, usually. If you write "2023" instead of "令5" it's pretty obvious. I suppose there is a potential for confusion if one just writes a two-digit year though.

    kplaceholder,
    @kplaceholder@lemmy.world avatar

    Is the kanji the name of the period the year belongs to or something? That looks interesting. Where can I find out more?

    sanpo,
    darq,
    @darq@kbin.social avatar

    Yup, it's a single character from the name of the era, and the era changes every time the emperor does.

    praise_idleness,

    Whenever their Emperor changes, the year starts with a new name(年号, which translates to name of year(s)). This time it’s 令和(reiwa). Before that it was 平成(heisei). It is very commonly used.

    The most American statement ever :D

    Edit: I am taking it back and admitting defeat. America != US. I am ashamed.

    Algaroth,

    Massive trucks that increase fatalities. Bald eagles that are endangered because of Americans, and sound like red tailed Hawks for some reason. Fireworks that are more heavily regulated than guns.

    I love Americans but your country is run like a ball of yarn in a box of cats.

    Cosmonauticus,

    Bald eagles aren’t endangered anymore.

    Plus being American and having lived abroad every country has their bullshit. You just hear about America’s shit because it has the most popular forms of mass media.

    Dumbasses are plentiful everywhere

    Algaroth,

    I don’t like all Americans and you are the kind I don’t. You’re an idiot. I was going to say imbecile but I doubt you know what that means.

    Cosmonauticus,

    This will surely keep me up at night.

    Didn’t know saying no country is perfect was such a controversial statement

    Algaroth,

    Getting irrationally defensive over facts is the part no one likes. Large trucks kill people at a higher rate. Fact. Bald eagle is still endangered. Red tailed hawk which is the bird that makes the actual sound, endangered. Many states in the us regulate fireworks harder than guns. Acknowledge your faults.

  • Cosmonauticus,

    You said BALD EAGLES are endangered. They’re not. They’re not dieing anymore. Their numbers are healthy. Bringing up global warming is YOU not being able to admit you’re wrong. No one denied anything about gun laws or traffic deaths from trucks which is why I said no country is perfect. Which again is a pretty nuanced response

    ASeriesOfPoorChoices,

    Welcome to Lemmy. Enjoy your stay.

    令和五年十二月二十二日

    Siegfried,

    I like that this includes 2 of the 4 numbers that i can understand from japanese (chinese numerals?)

    Sanyanov,

    Funny that only in full Chinese (or Japanese, since 令和 represents a new emperor era in Japan?) I noticed the month is December.

    It’s 22nd of November, folks

    stebo02,

    yeah i realised after, I guess some people are just really excited about Christmas

    How about 0xYYYMDD or 0xYYYYMDD if you need years after 4095 for some reason.

    Today is 0x7e7b16

    takeda,

    Congrats, you made it even less practical. Why not make it binary if that’s the goal?

    r00ty,
    @r00ty@kbin.life avatar

    Nah. With binary, you can lose one hex digit AND the max year would be 2047 (11 bits year, 4 bits month, 5 bits day). What's not to like about hex anyway?

    Algaroth,

    Wouldn’t it just start over when it hit the max? Kinda like Ghandi being so peaceful he becomes a genocidal nutcase in Civilization?

    r00ty,
    @r00ty@kbin.life avatar

    Yes, although isn't that an urban legend? Pretty sure I read that it was.

    Algaroth,

    It was acknowledged as a bug by a dev. The value went from 0 to 255 and then started over. So 256 becomes 0. It’s basically a feature now.

    r00ty, (edited )
    @r00ty@kbin.life avatar

    What I read was that it never happened in the old versions and it wasn't a bug in civ5, in that, it was a nod to the legend. But apparently Sid Meier said it didn't happen in the original games.

    EDIT: Here you go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Gandhi

    Algaroth,

    Thing is, it did happen in the earlier games and I doubt Sid programmed all the games himself. They just put his sexy face on them like the Nintendo Quality Control stamp.

    DeadMartyr,

    YYYY-MM-DD (honestly without dashes) is the only helpful format.

    If you name all your files with this as a suffix then your files automatically sort versions of themselves in order when sorting by name.

    starman2112,
    @starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

    ISO 8601 baby

    Though it ought to be a prefix, not a suffix

    PilferJynx,

    Yeah this method is superior for digital filing. I can’t imagine the sorting clusters I’d have to go through to find what I want any other way

    numanair,

    You mean as a prefix, right?

    Shayreelz,

    Their assumption is that the filename is the same otherwise e.g. myNotes20231122.txt

    numanair,

    Oh I see, thanks. Good alternative to final3_release2.

    CapeWearingAeroplane,

    Came here to say this, I use DD.MM.YY in day-to-day stuff, but for files it’s either YYYY_MM_DD or YY_MM_DD, the automatic ordering is beautiful

    lorty,
    @lorty@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    Maybe to foreigners but they love using the era for the year which doesn’t really help anyone.

    cinnamonTea,

    What eras do they have/use?

    imgel,

    Each emperor (Japan) and Big Change (China), is given a name. You can look up the current japanese era. From a friend, the chinese (and others like Singapore, Macau, Taiwan) are also living in an era with its corresponding year.

    Siegfried,

    @Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

    Hey. If you use your format, then you won’t be able to celebrate the new year on 123123, 233112 just doesn’t have the same ring to it

    rustyricotta,

    If that one doesn’t tickle you, we do have more options to explore like MM/YY/DD or DD/YY/MM

    Hell, we even have options like MDY/MDY

    Sanyanov,

    DD/YY/MM is the devil incarnate

    pennomi, (edited )

    The truly enlightened interleave the numerals: YMD/YMD

    The UK driving licence has birthdate as YMMDDY in the licence number. Totally uncrackable encryption.
