  1. As a developer with 40+ years in the backpack, I'm thinking my next project will only accept dates as YYYYMMDD (and YYYY-MM-DD), and force usage of 24h time. I may, possibly, allow for dates to be *displayed* as DD-MMM-YY (or -YYYY) ... 🤔

    This is my silent revenge on y'all for not pushing for standardizing on the only logical date and time formats 😎 😉 🤓

  6. UPS emailed me to say they're about to deliver a parcel "Sat, 12th April". Or, maybe part of their system is cursed and uses middle-endian date format, which screwed-up how a different part of their system parses dates, and the parcel is due to arrive today? 🤷🏼‍♀️

  11. For storage, I agree, YYYYMMDD (YYYY-MM-DD), but for display and date entry, my perfect date is DD-MMM-YYYY.

    Only alpha month indicators solve the problem if 07-08 is the 7th of August or the 8th of July.

  12. Finally got around to fixing up my moment-javaformat plugin so it publishes to npmjs with provenance. Not too much trouble to set up! I also updated my github signing key while I was at it so the UI shows "verified”.

    Here's the latest: npmjs.com/package/@rangerrick/

    But it's terrible and you shouldn't follow that link unless you want psychic damage.

    strike one: moment, don’t use it!
    strike two: dates! not even once!
    strike three: wait, what the fuck, java format strings?

  17. @drscriptt I request ISO 8601 standard date format immediately upon being presented with non-ISO date formats.

  18. Question: you're a person that use a day-first date when writing — Do you use a leading zero for days less than 10?

    05 November 1955 vs 5 November 1955

    Does your decision change when using the 3-letter month abbreviations?

    05 Nov 1955 vs 5 Nov 1955

    NOTE: all numeric dates (e.g. 5.11.1955) are not considered.

  24. Let's see if #Niantic implements this #localisation #featureRequest for #PokémonGO regarding in-game #dateFormats.
    I guess I should've suggested #ISO8601 as well, but I guess most players would expect the format to be displayed in their usual #locale.
