I unironically love this. Of course it isn't practical in the least, but I love it.

Wake me up when Septempril ends

Like my father's come and past, 1900 years has gone so fast!

Sounds like a medicine I shouldn't take before asking my doctor if it's right for me.

[-] clb92@feddit.dk 169 points 2 days ago

Ask your doctor if Moctopril™ is right for you!

My insurance won't cover it so I have to take Novemugust...

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

This is disgusting. Who enters dates in month/day/year order?

[-] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago

That’s just adding salt to the would

Genuine Question:

if you could split the month names into 3, how would you split them to maximise their choice overlap?

  • "em" is a good overlap for nov/sept/dec
  • "uar" is good for jan/febr
[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

I assume the post is the maximum. I wonder if there is an algorithm for that

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

hierarchical letter clustering would be my guess, or graph-based clustering using ngrams of 2-4 as nodes and maximising for connections.

Or using an optimized Regex and printing out the DFA?

Edit: Quick N-gram analysis (min=3, max=num letters in that month)

R-code

library(ngram)

tmonths = c("january", "february", "march",
           "april", "may", "june", "july",
           "august", "september", "october",
           "november", "december")

zzz = lapply(tmonths, function(mon){
  ng = ngram::ngram_asweka(paste(unlist(strsplit(mon, split="")), collapse=" "), min=3, max=nchar(mon))
  return(gsub(" ", "", ng))
})
res = sort(table(unlist(zzz)))
res[res > 1]

This gives the following 9 ngram frequencies greater than 1:

  ary   uar  uary   emb  embe ember   mbe  mber   ber 
    2     2     2     3     3     3     3     3     4 

As you can see two longest most common motifs are "em-ber" and "uar-y"

Using this I propose the following graph

Mermaid

stateDiagram
    direction LR
    sept --> em
    nov --> em
    dec --> em
    em --> ber
    oc --> to
    to --> ber
    feb --> uar
    uar --> y
    jan --> uar
    ju --> ne
    ju --> l
    l --> y
    ma --> r
    ma --> y
    r --> ch
    
    a --> p 
    p --> r
    r --> il
    a --> u
    u --> gust

Thanks for saving me time, my head was already spinning on the previous comment but you made it stop.

at least no bot will solve this

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Might be a decent way to sort out bots, actually.

I understand that bad ui is a fun meme and all, but how did this one even cross their mind as an idea for a bad UI? This is a new level of convoluted I would not have even considered.

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

My guess: someone messed up trying to split an array and split a string from it and hilarity ensued.

12 options as 21. At least it counts as lines of code for a performance review

[-] mcqtom@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Hmm. A bit redundant.

[ j ] [ uly ] [ y ]

Shoulda just been [ ul ].

[-] drangus@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

The blank options solve that

For a truly peak UI make the text very light gray on a white background, in the thinnest font possible.

They should have included an option for BC and AD.

Best CAPTCHA ever!

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

We can clearly see that this design is silly, because it allows for so many invalid states. Yet when we represent some type, let's say in Java, were so often forced to do this exact same thing. Have variables in a container of which only a certain combination is valid. And then have at most a comment saying "this number is only valid if X is also set" or "if the validity boolean is true". Luckily Java finally has some ability for the so-called sum types now, just like Haskell's data types or Rust's enum types. Imo any language should have this.
