News Flash 21104 from Hacker Public Radio.
|
|
An upgrade to some standard information formats.
|
|
Introduction after many years of confusion.
|
|
It has been decided to produce a common standard for dates and times
|
|
between Europe and the United States of America.
|
|
When encountering a USA date such as
|
|
03-1-4-2021, known as Pi Day in the USA,
|
|
there has been a peculiarity of which part of the date is the day
|
|
and which the month.
|
|
It can also be confusing as to the year if the 2-digit form is used.
|
|
Standardization is a way in which these sorts of ambiguities can be resolved.
|
|
Having a common method of representation of words confused you.
|
|
Therefore, starting in 2021, in the spirit of clarity and prevention
|
|
with understanding, the EU has decided to standardize
|
|
on compatible formats wherever possible.
|
|
Dates.
|
|
Henceforth, dates will be represented in one of two following forms.
|
|
Month.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
Day of Month.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
2-digit year.
|
|
Often represented as MM.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
DD.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
Y-Y.
|
|
Or.
|
|
2-digit year.
|
|
Day of Month.
|
|
And Month.
|
|
Represented as.
|
|
Y-Y.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
DD.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
MM.
|
|
Thus.
|
|
21.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
14.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
Over 3.
|
|
Or.
|
|
3.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
14.
|
|
Slash.
|
|
21.
|
|
We'll be universally recognized
|
|
as Pi Day.
|
|
Times.
|
|
The break from the previous tyranny
|
|
of large medium-small
|
|
or small medium-large formats
|
|
has been extended
|
|
to 24-hour-time representations.
|
|
Henceforth, 24-hour-time
|
|
will be represented in one of the following two forms.
|
|
Seconds colon hours colon minutes.
|
|
Often represented as SS colon HH,
|
|
colon MM.
|
|
Or.
|
|
Minutes colon hours colon seconds.
|
|
MM colon HH, colon SS.
|
|
Bash already introduced support for this last year.
|
|
You'll need to update to you.
|
|
You're going to follow this to get the latest version.
|
|
Future plans.
|
|
Standardization work in group
|
|
will be planning other measures.
|
|
Fourth coming rationalizations
|
|
will be weights and measures.
|
|
Descriptancy such as the US point
|
|
which is 16 fluid ounces
|
|
versus the British point
|
|
which is 20 fluid ounces
|
|
will be examined.
|
|
Temperature.
|
|
Farmer versus centigrade
|
|
is will be easily replaced
|
|
by the new year attempt
|
|
which struggled with both ranges.
|
|
The choice might be
|
|
the ranking scale
|
|
represented by
|
|
the green sign
|
|
and the letter A
|
|
the base has yet to be decided.
|
|
