No thanks
> 2024-06-09 date format
That doesnt infer what you want.
Are you saying you want YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-DD-MM
- geysersam 2y agoThey want YYYY-MM-DD
- codetrotter 2y agoLook at what date it is today, and then try to guess which one of these format is the one they are referring to. Also: one of these is an ISO standard format. The other one is a format that no one would use. (DD/MM YYYY is in use, but no one would write YYYY-DD-MM.)
- purple-leafy 2y agoDon’t Americans do: MM-DD-YYYY? So it would stand to reason that an American commenter may be meaning YYYY-DD-MM And guessing based on todays date, tell that to commenters who check this post in 6 months
- adastra22 2y agoAmericans do mm/dd/yyyy, but never mm-dd-yyyy
- xjay 2y agoUnderscore as a separator, YYYY_MM_DD: 1970_01_01 2024_06_09 2024_12_31 16383_12_31 Treated as base-10 number literal in some programming languages. 5 bits for DD [0, 31] + 4 bits for MM [0, 15] + 14 or more bits for year [0, 16_383] = 23 bits.
- yokoprime 2y agoNobody ever should write YYYY-DD-MM, its the worst of both worlds with the structure being both in a non-logical order AND not conforming to how dates are pronounced.
- Symbiote 2y agoJust in case it isn't clear, the usual European date format (DD-MM-YYYY though the separators vary) reflects the usual pronunciation — even in Britain and Ireland, where today is the ninth of June.
- jogjayr 2y ago> YYYY-DD-MM Some people just want to watch the world burn
- kulhur 2y agoJust use uppercase numbers for the month and lowercase for the day. That way you will always know which is more significant without any prior knowledge of how the order of the digits in decimal numbers work.
