For a skilled pro like you I suggest using epoch time for everything

Any other day I'd see this get laughs, but I guess people are bitchier this time of day.

I'd write down the ISO timecode I'm talking about, but I can't afford it.

On the command line, space is what separates each argument. If a path contains a space, you either have to quote the entire path, or use an escape character (e.g. the \ character in most shells, the backtick in Powershell because Microsoft is weird, or the character's hexadecimal value), otherwise the path will be passed to the command as separate arguments. For example, cat hello world.txt would try to print the files hello and world.txt.

It is a good practice to minimize the character set used by filenames, and best to only use English alphanumeric characters and certain symbols like -, _, and .. Non-printable characters (like the lower half of ASCII), weird diacritics (like ő or ű), ligatures, or any characters that could be misinterpreted by a program should be avoided.

This is why byte-safe encodings, like base64 or percent-encoding, are important. Transmitting data directly as text runs the risk of mangling the characters because some program misinterpreted them.

Doesn't the ISO also includes time periods? Because if it does, those are amazing.

Without any explanation, you should be able to decypher these periods just by looking at them:

• P1Y
• P6M2D
• P1DT4H
• PT42M

This is the killer for me. Most people promote ISO 8601 as a "definitive" date structure, when it actually supports a lot of different formats. What they actually want is usually RFC 3339.

Z indicates UTC. Alternatively,

2023-12.12T21:18-05 for time zone as central. The UTC time zone code at the end just tells you where the time is taken from. Usually Z is used since, well, it’s “universal,” but having a +13 or -06 or whatever else brings context, and allows computers to synchronize the string of text into a comparable time for event logs and such.

But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

Also, even if you fully respect the specs, I assume you can't get certified as "compliant" by ISO if you didn't pay for the specs ?

Which means the companies using the specs pay the company making the specs for everyone (companies and people) to use.

That sounds fair, but I wouldn't be surprised if capitalism fucked it up anyhow.

Please be serious and give me that list! Please be real!

Edit: guys, if they don't answer, they might just missed the question. They might be real. BELIEVE!!!

Do you care to share them?
