For anyone curious it's 25/07/2025 in metric calendars.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean the superior date format; 2025/07/25

That's a file path, THIS is a date format: 2025-07-25

Finally, some good fucking ISO around here!

How about 25-206 or 2025-W30-5.

Edit: the ISO8601 spec includes these

Julian dates suck, but not as much as the standard date formats.

[–] Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Both versions above actually are part of the ISO8601 spec though, as week dates and ordinal dates.

One more reason RFC3339 is better than ISO8601?

In all honesty, the big problem with Julian dates are they aren't readable for most people, if they even recognize what they are. In specific industries, it's an acceptable format, with minimal ambiguity. Now, do we talk about how my company puts the year after the date?
