Might as well roll the dice for order every time a user loads the page.

We definitely need a "bad UI battles" community here.

DONT SPEAK TO MY OR MY ISO 8601 EVER AGAIN! 🤬🤧😢

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hope you mean RFC 3339 instead of that non-authoritative ISO crap 😤

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You mean the standard defined by The Internet Engineering Task Force? Of course I do! The ISO name is just more popular.

The fuck you just say to me, you son of a bitch?

12-12-12

Just to keep you guessing

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago

Then you feed {12,12,12} to the API and it turns it into 1970-01-01T12:12:12UTC

Rfc3339 is the way. Mathematical superiority is on our side.

Is that not the format that's actually used in the US? I mean, it's utterly insane, but a lot of people really are used to having the components of the date in random order.

At this point, just go full bananas and use SEP-2023/15

Na, month data year is still the worse.

We must know: how many digits is the year? And when they're displayed later, do they use slashes or hyphens? I want to really breathe in the awful.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)
  1. 1970-1999 - 4 digits.
  2. 2000+ - 2 digits.
  3. No separators

no, the best is YYYY-MM-DD

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

That's what I use but the dashes aren't the most important part
