Why would the year, the least important, need to be first?

For proper ordering for one. ISO8601 is objectively the best way to label anything that might need to be ordered based on time. This forces data points to line up properly in chronological order, and makes it easy to time slice as needed.

And why are the pieces of the pyramid made so the ISO standard is the only one that looks right?

Because it's the only one that goes from largest value to smallest. It's first because you start from the largest as the base (year) and work down through size to seconds.

ss:mm:hh:DD:MM:YYYY would also order the numbers based on length, but would look terrible if represented like that

Agreed. And any sort of data analysis would be so much harder

You need to remember that the technical people may not have an issue with it, but the bean counters tend to be more stuffy and upright about shit. And a lot of clients are especially up tight in my experience. Something about paying you money and expecting standard business responses.

I wouldn't give a shit if I saw that, but I absolutely would not send that up the chain if a junior sent me that screenshot (or I'd crop it down to the most useful info. Last thing I want to do is listen to some asshole c-level complain at me for 20 minutes about professionalism.

Legit tho, has AI ever not been used to discriminate in situations like this?

Without hesitation. I'd love to live in a civilized country, but unfortunately I was born in the US.

Something like automod might work, but then you're just playing the linguistic cat and mouse game with the people who want to be shitty and are willing to test boundaries.

The republican party

I know, I repeat myself

Calling it indentured slavery implies they may be able to earn their freedom.

Aren't most of the Golf states land locked?

Oh wow, you're getting blocked because you're freaking mental.

I'd prefer a party in power that I can actually try to pressure, not a fascist dictator, and I blame the people who chose not to vote that led us here. The fact that you're incapable of grasping a simple fact would make me question your good faith, except

But given a choice between moving to the left and outright fascism, it’s clear that you prefer the latter.

I'm sure you're not. Bye.

Interesting. Guessing that probably means I need to find a new trick when I go to work on newer servers. Damned microsoft....
