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

Haha yep, you caught me. I’m a fan of the unique note feature

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've never met a fellow Templatr in the wild lol

My daily note broke and my life fell apart for a minute.

Have you also spent months building your Data Capture Workflow mermaid.js? 😅😬

[-] compostgoblin@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

Not quite months, but definitely weeks 😂 Obsidian can be such a rabbit hole. If I tweak that last template one more time, then I’ll finally be done, I swear!

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So I'm like 80% done with my setup. Mostly focused on routine and habit templates, homepage wiki for pkm etc.. between the plugins and css, no matter which device I'm on, it's the slowest app I've ever used. This is why I pushed my old setup and started over clean with more knowledge. I don't know how to get the customization I want without insane unusable lag

I feel called out and I’m hiding in the bushes reading comments.

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's called feeling seen and finding you're not alone. Do you type "# " while screen sharing in work apps to no avail and the chagrin of colleagues? It's okay. Me too.

Won't be true after 9999-12-31, however.

Can't wait for the Y40k bug, when Tyranids begin to infect our brains.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bold of you to assume there isn't already a genestealer cult on Terra. Washington specifically.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That...would explain a lot

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 17 points 1 year ago

Can be solved with a small shellscript adding a leading zero to all filenames with the format.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

If I, my software, or my data last this long, I will have nearly 8000 years to resolve it. Which is to say, the year 9998 is going to get busy.

[-] amon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

natural sort ftw

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

If humanity survives until then, we can implement 9-digit dates and delay the problem until Y100K.

[-] thesmokingman@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I’d be curious to see a sorting algorithm that doesn’t handle YYYYY-MM-DD with YYYY-MM-DD properly. If you drop the dashes you still get a proper numeric order. If you sort by component, you still get the proper order. Maybe a string sort wouldn’t? Off the top of my head the languages I’m thinking either put longer strings later, giving us the proper order, or could put 1YYYY- ahead of 1YYY-M so maybe string sorting is the only one that’s out.

[-] HailHydra@infosec.pub 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lexical sorting (string sorting/alphabetical order sorting) is what I believe they were referring to when talking about file names.

The fact that you don't have to do any parsing of the string at all, just do a straight character-by-character alphabetical sort, and they will be sorted by date, is a great benifit of this date scheme. That means in situations where no special parsing is set up (eg, in a File Explorer windows showing a folders contents sorted alphabetically) or where your string isn't strictly date only (eg, a file name format such as '2025-05-02 - Project 3.pdf') you can still have everything sorted by date just by sorting alphabetically.

Its this benifit that is lost when rolling over to 5-digit years.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I bet you could make a one liner to rename files with YYYY-MM-DD to 0YYYY-MM-DD fairly easily. Not a problem.

[-] The_Decryptor@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

It's an easy fix at least, just check if you're comparing numbers on both sides and switch to a simple numerical sort.

I think Windows used to get this wrong, but it was fixed so long ago that I'm not even sure now.

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Who's Rich? Did you mean Randall?

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago

...dammit, the only comics I read are XKCD and OOTS and I done fucked up.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago
[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

The good ones tend to filter their way out.

(I do also read whatever John Allison is currently working on.)

Banished to back in time to hang with Ozy and Millie

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Omg thank you!! Everyone sees my notes thinks I'm crazy for obsessing... It's the correct fucking sort!

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
