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…
Good taste,
YYYY-MM-DD
is obviously superiorI too agree with the woman
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”.
You’ve got your endians mixed up. Big-endian means the most significant value comes first. ISO8601 is big-endian.
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.
ISO 8601
Unix epoch time. It has a cool name and I get to pretend its a Star Date.
Are we on schedule to solve the 2038 problem in time?
