because they get downloaded from say reddit and then reuploaded again a year later or so which since most sites/services compress files uploaded they get worse and worse quality
It’s because people keep taking screenshots of the image and sharing the screenshot instead of the original image file. It’s like making a copy of a copy of a copy until it looks like garbage.
Stop right there criminal scum, you are not allow to publish original copyrighted works, you are stealing from the artist’s mouth by squandering his market value !
In Sweden we tend to use iso, except sometimes on “Best before” dates. It’s always fun trying to figure out if your food is going bad by, for instance, the 10th of August or the 8th of October…
Not if you encode it using an exponent. One Planck time unit is roughly 1.8 x 10^-43^ seconds, so with an exponent of 2^128^ (roughly 3.4 x 10^38^) you could write a second as 54510 x 2^128^ TP
If I had a forint for something matching order in Hungary and Japan, I would have 2 forints, which isn’t a lot but its weird it happened twice. (Its the order of names and dates)
I use this for notes, and generally everything written; mainly for reference when looking back on old information. Today, whether I say Wednesday the 9th, or 2023-08-09, it’s fairly inconsequential, but in 2-3 years if I have to reference a note, email or something else where I said today’s date, I won’t have to compare the date of the note to the calendar for that time period to see which 9th was on a Wednesday.
Everything you do now becomes history, so adapting to this format makes it easier when today becomes your history.
But we read left to right and the most important part is furthest right hardest to read. It’s convenient for computers sorting alphabetically, but bad for people reading it.
But that’s good, like a parity check. Because your wrong by much more, it’s easier to tell from context clues. That’s why people abbreviated the year to ‘in 98’ or something like that.
With other numbers, non-date numbers, we put the numbers representing the most quantity to the left, and numbers representing the last quantity to the right, eg 1 hundred, ten and 1 would be 111, where the number representing 100 qty comes first from the left, and each position moving to the right, represents a smaller and smaller amount.
Since years are longer than months, which are longer than days, the YYYY-MM-DD format actually follows the same convention that we commonly use for all other numbering systems, big on the left, small on the right.
Going day to day, dd/mm/yyyy works, but for archival purposes and looking up stuff in the past, mm/dd/yyyy works better, imo. Like when you need to go through a physical file cabinet, or an electronic database.
Or you're the type of person who's zoned out all the time and don't even know what month it is until you look at a clock or calendar.
I just dont see why the hell you would switch? dd/mm works fibe in all situations and has some advantages sometimes, while mm/dd is fine sometimes, but generally worse or equal.
Except it doesn't sort well in any fashion and it requires two different types of contexts to interpret. It's easier to screw up the order of a month by name than it is to screw up the order of a number. Not saying we should play to least common denominator, but we should be making it as easy as possible. I'd prefer sorting speed over needing to learn how to interpret the date correctly if every single date is stored the same way.
