Both are wrong. The correct way to write the date is YYYY-MM-DD. This is the only way to sort dates linearly in a list. ISO 8601.
I'm so glad you think we are all computers
Our lives involve computers to a huge degree.
In Arabic we use DD/MM/YYYY but it actually gets written as YYYY/MM/DD since Arabic is written and read from right to left. When the year is dropped the confusing part is not what format is used here but rather does this website/software support RTL or is it just regular unformatted ASCII.
Edit: it's still not ISO 8601 and it doesn't solve the sorting issue
Should work if you have an RTL invert character before, right? (Not that you could name files with the slashes.)
RTL invert characters are just for rendering purposes it doesn't help with sorting also in older systems sometimes it was not supported.
But if you type it as "[RTL invert]yyyy/mm/dd" it is automatically sorted correctly in ltr parsing systems but still displayed correctly (assuming it is supported which it seems to be on most devices nowadays).
You want it displayed as "yyyy/mm/dd" so it's actually "[RTL]dd/mm/yyyy"
Ah, I read the original comment backwards.
It's frustrating that people are so bad at dates that ISO8601 lives rent-free in my head because I constantly have to tell people ;)
Hungarian is close enough
YYYY.MM.DD
I can be OK with that
But not with having elected the Trump of EU
Bro, trump is learning from Orbán if anything Trump is the US Orbán, fuck both of them too
♥️ this is what I decide to use at work. Dots are superior than dashes in my opinion because they prevent line breaks
I like dashes because they work better than dots or slashes for file names.
How so? At least dots haven't prevented me in the past (windows, Mac, android, various cloud storage).
Most OSes will let you do it but
2025.01.01.pngcould have issues compared to2025-01-01.png. Plus I think it's a little clearer what the file type actually is.Its just a little pedantic thing I've picked up after years of being a sysadmin. In my mind slashes (
/) are reserved for directory delimitation and the period (.) is to separate the file name from the file type. I also have a little bit longer of a list of "reserved" characters for other reasons (%,#, and{`}`)And, when the context of the year is understood, you can just drop it. At least Japanese does this (and I'm pretty sure Chinese does as well).
You shouldn't do that, because if you're writing it down it means you want to either refer to it later or have someone else refer to it later. The year changes and you're searching for that receipt or email... why set yourself up for failure?
So you've never in your entire life written down a date dropping the year? No matter the context of the note? Even a shopping list? Even a party next weekend? That's a dedication to....archival science? that I've never seen before
I try to do this, though I've only started relatively recently. I like my data.
BRB -- I have to tell the country of Japan they're doing dates wrong /s.
For the things I'm thinking about, the year generally doesn't matter. I'm thinking advertisements or even things that say like 'Spring 2025 menu 2025年の春メヌー' or something which preserves context. A lot are also written on shop whiteboards and such which are changed fairly regularly. In my own notes, in anything I may care about that far into the future, I do write the full date in ISO-8601
