Big-endian? WTF. I thought the human way to write scalars was little-endian.
Faux stardate is the absolute best:2026.0715 or
2026.0715.1002
with timestamp. (Yes this breaks the ability of faux stardate with only a date to be stored as a plain float when convenient.) Add seconds dot decimal parts of second as needed, along with zulu hour offset as desired.
2026.0715.1002.45.3142.z-5It's so concise and easy to read that adding the day of the week looks pretty good with it.

@cmconseils I personally prefer the ISO YYYY-MM-DD format.
-
@ramsey @cmconseils @benroyce Not all women like big endians. That's just a myth.
-
@cmconseils run away from this man. He’s pretending to hate on MM/DD/YYYY and getting it very wrong.
It’s like the Terminator 2 “your foster parents are dead” bit.

@cmconseils Got it:
8128-06-28Three perfect numbers in the perfect date format.
Too bad we'll have to wait a long time for that...

@zalasur
But not ISO.Use YYYY-MM-DD instead, because / are confusing and not possible in file names on several operating systems.
@beandev @zalasur @DXMacGuffin @cmconseils behold: https://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc32300.1570/html/sqlug/BABDBAHF.htm
yes YY not this newfangled YYYY

Oh @cmconseils you've done it now. You've aroused the nerds!
(By the way, ISO 8601 will no longer lexically-sort properly once the year 10000 comes.)
-
@cmconseils I'm pretty alright with every date format. Same with 12 and 24 hour since I was a kid
I just use MM/DD/YY or MM/DD/YYYY cos a ton of people I interact with on the net are americans, but I like YYYY-MM-DD
-
@cmconseils EW! DUMP HIM! YYYY-MM-DD is most efficient both to read and sort.

2026.0715 Wednesday@RustedComputing @cmconseils Still assumes month-and-day ordering. Better to use Julian day-of-year for star date format: 2026.196.

@obscurestar @argv_minus_one @cmconseils @ckd @beandev @DXMacGuffin Yep I'm looking forward to when the Y10K problem becomes a serious concern. And in all likelihood COBAL will still be around that will need to be fixed. Again.

@zalasur @obscurestar @argv_minus_one @cmconseils @ckd @beandev
Call me short sighted, but I will not be changing my career plans because of the Y10K problem.
-
@ckd @beandev @zalasur @DXMacGuffin @cmconseils RFC 3339 is better, because it’s free to read.
-
@cmconseils to be honest: YYYY/MM/DD … that is the way
️

@argv_minus_one we have 8000 years to sort it out

@cmconseils It's not really perfect though...
