RFC 3339 FTW!

Open source, and no ambiguous options grandfathered in.

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

Was looking for this. Yes. Whenever possible, dates should be specified in a format that is BOTH RFC 3339 and ISO 8601. I'd say both have their quirks, but the intersection of the grammars is machine-parseable and human-readable without (much) legacy baggage or (much) experimental / reserved-for-future-use noise.

This is the only way to date.

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I've recently noticed web forms and appointment emails start to use that format. Maybe web devs are sneaking it in bit by bit.

Except for, yknow, human readability

As for why it's better:

  1. It's in sort order. Even if you use it for things that don't understand dates, they sort properly because the day is the last part, month is the middle part, and year is the first part. If you include hours, minutes or seconds, the sort order is still preserved.
  2. Speaking of things that don't understand dates, because there are no slashes, you can easily use it in file names, directories, and anything else that treats slash as a special character. In addition, if you include the time part, because it uses "T" to separate the date and time, it doesn't use a space, so once again it can be easily used anywhere where a space might cause issues.
[–] Rothe@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

ISO is better for archiving and sorting, inarguably so. But dd-mm-yyyy is better for day to day daily life usage, where the day and month are much more important than the year.

Both have their uses, but for different situations. mm-dd-yyyy is just batshit though.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But dd-mm-yyyy is better for day to day daily life usage

Uh, no.

To be fair, the time separators don't behave well on all implementations of filesystem access by filename. Need to use underscores or omit them at times.

[–] libewa@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And unlike most „forbidden characters“ for file names, the colon is actually used in NTFS: to separate the file path from the name of a ~~named fork~~ Alternate Data Stream.

See, I hadn't even read about this. TIL :)

Still, I use ISO8601 all the time when it comes to written dates :)

Except I can't get behind the time part of it, personally. I can see the point of doing GMT with the offset if you're working across multiple timezones, but it's overkill for situations where you aren't.

[–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 12 points 1 week ago

There's no way to predict how a date will be used. No reason not to be flexible. No reason to break convention.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

That’s how my brother missed a train: the linux planner used GMT while the local train company planner used assumed local time…

So I disagree

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I think we should all, as a globe, just pick one time zone and use that. I don't care if my 1:00 pm is the middle of that night. Everyone's 5:00pm will be 5:00pm. We will learn how to adjust our schedules for the master time zone.

Yeah, the time part should obviously be written in Swatch Internet Time, he writes at @910.
