10,000 Ethernet cables for better date formatting
-
Hey there
This is my first post, when I discovered this article I realized I just HAD to share this!
"To the audiophile, this $10,000 Ethernet cable apparently makes sense"
It's an article about a "pure silver" "directional" Ethernet cable for audiophiles, which breaks the laws of time and space to provide an unprecedented audio experience.
Be sure to read the comments too, you're in a good laugh.

You're a little slow:

10$ and 0.0 cents?!

Should I just rename this to "Decimal separator flamewar thread" right now?

Yes.

A good deduplication.

I guess you've probably already been here for a while lurking, but welcome to the forum! It's always nice to see new faces
Don't worry about the duplicate, it's an easy mistake to make.

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather have a One True Date Format flamewar thread.

AFDAIL that "%s" is the format string for seconds since UNIX epoch in Lua.
-
m/d/yy
is the best, of course. Why waste all that space with extra crap?
-
If we have to use a format for plebs, use
dd-mm-yy
at the very least. Because, you know, when I look at the calendar on the wall I always read the month first, just in case I'm often ~30 days off in my estimate.

Mmm dd if its the same year, Mmm yy otherwise.

Literally everything in Lua is some badly-chosen arbitrary nonsense that looks like it means something completely different in a real programming language...

Three digit seconds?
For those occasions they add so many leap seconds all at once that they become leap minutes.

Inequality operator is ~=. I've never heard of any other language that does that.

I'd call for a woosh but the joke was rather poorly constructed so...
I'm not aware of any other language using
nil
rather than a variation onnull

Actually, on Objective-C and some BASIC-based languages...

Objective-C, Lisp, Pascal, certainly much more.

I need to work on my awareness then. Oh well.

Not to forget, one of the languages powering Discourse: Ruby.

I'd rather forget.
We use some ruby at work (i.e. forced onto us by some dev that wanted to be bleeding edge/hip), so I'm familiar with that one. Also I use Obj-C (for iOS app development), so familiar there as well.
My only experience with lua is for my imapfilter configuration. But I don't use nil there, so not familiar with that one.~= is always going to trigger my perl senses and make me think of some regex or string substitution or worse.

You'll have to do better than that if you want a pendantry badge.

DeathStation 9000 or DS9K is sometimes also used as an adjective, as in "a DS9K endianness", meaning an endianness which is neither big-endian nor little-endian, like the American date format MM/DD/YYYY.

smalltalk uses nil too.

So, you're following the old Julian Calendar? Where Christmas falls on January 7?
And on top of that, you have an @OffByOne error there to boot.

No, I'm just making fun of it.And on top of that, you have an @OffByOne error there to boot.
I know that, at the time of posting, for all Orthodox countries, it was already after midnight, but I'm not from any of them, so let's just assume that type casting went wrong and cut off few hours, okay?
