Amazon is running a Prime Day sale on July 16 and 17. Setting aside the fact that this is two separate days, neither 716 nor 717 are prime numbers. They should’ve done 7/19 instead.

dd/mm/yyyy
1607 is prime
You mean YYYY-MM-DD right? Right?!?
That would not give a prime number
I maintain that dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy are stupid.
Big -> small is how we read numbers:
yyyy/mm/dd
^^ This is the only acceptable way to write out the date numerically. I’ll die on this hill.
What if we just count all the nanoseconds since 1601 and divide by 100.
I still don’t get that timestamp approach. Especially after learning how unix/linux handle it…
At least modern AD tools can automatically do the date conversions now.
Yes but small is more relevant since you’re more likely to know the big. therefore i propose we put minutes ahead of hours.
I prefer the simple dy/my/dy/my format (with the year reversed for added ease of use). For example, today would be 14/02/70/72.
NIST and ISO have stopped responding to my emails, but I’m optimistic that the Türk Standardları Enstitüsü will eventually adopt it as their preferred standard.

Yes, and recurring dates naturally drop the year, so MM/DD better fits that general rule.
