ISO 8601 was published on 06/05/88 and most recently amended on 12/01/04.
But… that’s not the right way. Are you saying the ISO8601 violates ISO8601?
- so, apparently not I just whooshed, I didn’t even noticed the dates are ambiguous.
The joke is that they’ve not been given in ISO8601 format, and also that they’re both ambiguous. For the second one, we can’t even tell which of the ends is the year.
Honestly Randall absolutely would put the year in the middle just to fuck with us
Publication 1988-06-05, latest amendment 2004-12-01.
I almost expected the two dates to use different formats, but no, they’re just both “the American way”.
Well you can only cram in so many jokes at once. Would have been funny though
Rich is right, since this is the date format that sorts correctly in filenames.
And it is easily extensible to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss to include the time of day
Are you an obsidian user?
Haha yep, you caught me. I’m a fan of the unique note feature
Fk it DD/MM/YYYY Makes much more sense
