We are done with quarantines in Potato Land as of today.
Well, not exactly. Those that are quarantined now must let it run its course. This will be rigorously not checked by anyone.
Also, if you get a positive test result, you must quarantine yourself. Which will be enforced by nobody.

Note that the Chinese practice with dates is to put the month before the day, as it should be. They also add the hanzi for "month" and "day" after the numbers so there's not the slightest chance of ambiguity.

03/28/2022:Example 2 is not only ugly with those dashes, it also puts things in reverse relevance order. What are you most often looking for in a date - year? No, most often you just look at the day, sometimes also month, even less frequently year.
Of course it's still better than 3, which is completely bonkers.

@MrL
At least when ordering electronics currently having the year in front would make more sense - quite often have I found myself looking forward to getting stuff next week, only to realize later on they meant sometime much later...

He's missing one big thing. A function (that can be overridden by users) that is passed any line of code that is a syntax error otherwise. Because this is a powerful technique that cannot possibly be abused…

When ever the Party says it is February 30.
And, by the way, 180 years only of house arrest for the prevention of a deadly infectious desease - come on, that's really not too harsh a measure.

It does make sorting by date very easy to implement, as the date order matches the text order.
Dots vs. hyphens vs. slashes seems mostly irrelevant to me.Of course it's still better than 3, which is completely bonkers.
The third format matches how people speak the date (in English anyways): "March twenty-eighth, twenty twenty-two."

English English says “the twenty-eighth of March”.

Dates are objects and are sorted by linq

Yeah, I know. It's freaking weird.
: Will be done by March seventh.
: There are that many Marches this year? Or do you mean 'in seven years'? Oh, sorry, forgot your language is stupid.

@dkf Always?
USA English sometimes says that, too. I don't know of any preference rules for when to use each, though.

True and true.
The implication is that English is completely bonkers.

That they'd choose a model timestamp that is based on 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 isn't a terrible idea, but that they'd have the fields mean that in that order is. They should have used the time in Thailand (+7 instead of -7).

Someone should put in a request for supporting full official Japanese date formats. While they're only actually needed on official documents, they're dated from the accession of the current Emperor and (IIRC) use era names. It'll be fun to watch the two different types of crazy interact.

@dkf … and the ICU date machinery already supports them and its templates are an established standard – and has been by the time Go was created.

From another video, I learned that in a scandinavian country the collating order off place names depends on the country in which that place lies.
For domestic place names,aa
is assumed to be adapted fromå
used in the past, and should be sorted afterz

For foreign names,aa

03/28/2022:I have a thing, that naming things should help them align appropriately when sorted alphabetically.
While in a standard email I may use the 3rd format, as is customary here.
In sql selects (because even converting to a varchar still sorts as would be expected by a date), file names, code comments, all with the 2nd format (sometimes without the dashes).

Leaves zero ambiguity.
Also, in one of our exports to another system, they expect the dates in that format.
Though, I liked it long before that.

As long as you don't have to deal with historical dates. Although that's not a problem for most software, if you're dealing with historical dates, it is ambiguous, because the year number didn't always change on 1 January. Depending on the location (and date, because countries sometimes changed when the new year started), the year number might change on 1 January, 25 December (Christmas, many countries in Europe), 29 August (Alexandria, Egypt), 1 September (Eastern Orthodox Church), 23 September (various Roman provinces (birth date of Augustus)), 1 March (Kievan Rus'), 25 March (spring equinox (approximately), Annunciation of Jesus), or even Easter (variable date). And that's not even considering Chinese, Hebrew, Mayan and hundreds of other calendars.
Dates are hard.
