minus-squarecopygirl@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoNo love for YYYY-MM-DD? If you see a date in that format, it’s pretty unambiguous.
minus-squareSeth Taylor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoYou’re right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.
minus-squareBionicBeaver3000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoAlso great for naming files in the filesystem, and thereby giving it both context and a sorting space. I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.
minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoSee, my dating tip is the exact opposite. DD/MM/YY
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThe worst date format. Even worse than Americans mm dd yy

minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoDays are shorter than months, which are shorter than years. Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoAh, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets. Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
minus-squareJoeBigelow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoIt might make sense but that doesn’t make it better
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI prefer classifaction in descending order… Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes
minus-squaremacniel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoBut this would lead to files from the first of any month and any year to be bunched together.
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI prefer large to small imo, plus computers prefer yy mm dd too
minus-squareddplf@szmer.infolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoThanks, but Y/M/DD/M/YYY already does it just fine for me
