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
I maintain that dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy are stupid.
Big -> small is how we read numbers:
yyyy/mm/dd
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.
I prefer the MYOWN-16080 standard of
yy/dm/md/y/y. Also the year units are randomly swapped for encryption

Yeah, but you have to admit mm/dd/yyyy is way more stupid. Small -> big makes more sense than middle -> small -> big
For every day purposes, absolutely. For programming? Nope, the only right answer is big->small.
Honestly, the alternative to every day use is to stop using numbers for the month
The problem with three letter month codes is language to language difference. Numbers are more universal.
Yes, and recurring dates naturally drop the year, so MM/DD better fits that general rule.
^^ 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.
167 is prime though?
But 197 satisfies all
What about people using the normal date system
ISO 8601 is the only normal date system.
July 16th is the 197th day of the year on non leap years. July 17th is the 199th day of the year on leap years.
Both of those are prime.
