A fifth of his skills.
Good skills or bad skills?
Cinco de mayo?
dd/mm/yyyy is broke
yyyy-mm-dd is B E S P O K E
ISO-8601 FTW
DD Mon YYYY for human readability, YYYY-MM-DD for computer readability.
DD-MM-YYYY itches me wrong the same way as when people tell me their phone number with seven digits AND THEN give me the area code as if I still ONLY have a landline that I ONLY use to place local calls e_e
Itβs the forth tho. What am I supposed to do with the extra 5% of May?
Welcome to the future! We've been expecting you
YYYY-MM-DD is the only way.
ISO-8601 FTW
ELI5 ISO-8601
Best way to write the date. Year then month then day using numbers. Allows for easy sorting in computer for people and also no gets confused like they do in other systems. It's an international standard handled by the ISO group
it also just make sense, we already put the more significant number on the left side when writing numbers anyways. MM/dd/YYYY is more like writing one hundred and twenty three as 231
I've grown accustomed to dates in this format, because of software engineering. Yesterday I had to write out MM/DD/YY on some paperwork, and it broke my brain for a good 30s trying to remember the format.
MM-YYYY-DD
YY-MM-DD-YY
YD-MY-DYMY
Oh I fully agree but I wouldn't let it get in the way of a decent meme
I'd love to share a fifth with May!
Just don't invite Clarkson.
May and Hammond maybe, but not Clarkson
I would definitely have fun spending an evening with him, in the same way it'd be fun watching a giant dumpster fire or some kind of natural disaster.
