In my work, today's date would be 21K11, to save space over the longer date.
- onychomys 5y agoAre you working in some embedded system with tiny memory space or something? What's the use of saving one character? Just make it YYMMDD!
- blackboxlogic 5y agoHow do you distinguish 21K111 and 21K111?
- inanutshellus 5y agoAre you trying to catch GP on differentiating hours, were it to be appended to his time format (1st @ 11 vs 11th @ 1am)? Notably he didn't promise any, but presumably one'd need a separator... Maybe, per his "K" usage of the month, one'd use the alphabet again. 11am would be "K" again... or lowercase just for giggles? I don't think it reads very well, but I also think one'd get used to it pretty quickly.
- blackboxlogic 5y agoI was thinking January 11th vs November 1st. Maybe their "date" doesn't need/support day-of-month? Or they typod and I should just focus on my work.
- apricot 5y agoI imagine January is A and November is K, so 21A11 vs. 21K1 (or maybe 21K01).
- blackboxlogic 5y agoAh yes, I missed that K was a month.
