Has anyone seen an article with any evidence yet? So far it's been 3 dancer that had been previously fired suing with only she-said/she-said as evidence. I guess we'll find out in discovery but if that's it then this doesn't seem like a winning case.
And sometimes those can be credible if they are unconnected, span over time, and are along the same behaviour complaints. I don’t know enough about these dancers to know if that’s the case though.
Considering how there’s almost no computers anymore with such limited resources that they can’t store a string or convert to one, it’s kind of crazy anybody bothers with the ambiguity of using numbers for the month.
The limited resource is not Compute Power, but Engineer time. Sure, you could ask someone to implement wrappers everywhere in the system so that the display is human-readable - or you could put one label somewhere clarifying the date format to readers.
Implement wrappers everywhere? Why can’t they just write a single function that takes an ISO date a spits out a string (human readable) date? I’d put money down that such a function already exists in almost every library that deals with dates.
That’s why I said “implement” and not just “write”. The process of wiring in that existing function has non-negligible cost, as does keeping it updated/patched.
Sure, it should be pretty small - but it’s non-zero. Is it worth it? That’s a product decision.
It’s written like 07 Aug 2013. It’s consistent in character length, doesn’t confuse internationals, doesn’t take much space and is written exactly like being said around here. It’s just not that great for file names.
Yeah, ok. Expanding the month to 3 chars does reduce potential confusion
I feel the need to be pedantic and point out that this is only necessary, however because of the ridiculous degenerate convention of MM DD YY(YY?) used by said country…
How do you undeniably prove that a random person won the grand prize, and that the lottery employees didn’t just embezzle the money for themselves? Dox the winner!
Yeah it sucks, but there’s not really another “undeniable” way to do it. If they kept it anonymous and hired an auditor to verify it was fair, how do you prove the auditor isn’t in on the scam?
But the file names were not as ordered and consistent like this, they were all over the place. Most of them did not even have proper meta data so I had lots of songs by “unknown artist”. Creating playlists within a music player was a mess, you basically had to sort and play songs via the file system
I used to spend hours editing metadata for my music library on my computer but it was a constant uphill battle. My “various artists” and “unknown album” are still a mess.
Waiting 30 minutes to download a song just to hear someone’s bad Bill Clinton impression saying “my fellow Americans…”, the best of times and the worst of times
Remember when the nazis stopped genociding people when they were asked to stop being mean? Like, apparently the existence of some groups is something we can “agree to disagree” on.
