!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
It annoys me even though I'm still in the U.S.
Edit: For everyone saying CVs and resumes are different, that might be literally the case, but that is not how job applications are using them. I just went to this one:
ISO is best. There's no debate there. From a data science perspective, YYYY/MM/DD is the only reasonable choice.
But most of the time you're using dates, you're only concerned with the month and day. That's the very reason we don't use ISO in our daily lives. If you started every mention of a date with the year, people would think you're a crazy person, or a time traveler, or perhaps a recently-awakened coma patient. There's just no need to begin with the year. Next Wednesday, 2024 December 18.
If you exclude the year, then the choice is month/day or day/month. Between the two, month/day is far more useful for the same reasons ISO is best. If I need both the month and the day, then I want the month first. The only time I would want the day first is if the month doesn't matter, and I can omit the month in that case. Giving me the day first and then the month forces me to wait for the month and then remember the day. It's inefficient transfer of information. If you exclude the year, MM/DD is objectively, if only marginally, better than DD/MM.
But then why would anyone use MM/DD/(YY)YY? Because we're already using MM/DD.
Ahem - there is a debate... it's over
/vs.-. As is proper - all true debates should be over minor formatting decisions (soft tabs over my fucking dead body)./can't be used in a filename on most common filesystems so that doesn't enter the conversation the real question is if you include-as a delimiter at all.20241212or2024-12-12? They are fixed width fields so I skip the delimiter when I'm storing data* but tend to use the delimiter when writing for a general audience.* Y10k problem right here!
What programmer in their right mind uses / instead of -?
I use the delimiter when writing out log files when I want hour or minute in the logfile name. SantaChimneyLog_20241225-0312.txt. Otherwise yeah it just gets left off.
ISO 8601 gets a bit weird with times.
Using
Tto separate the date and time components looks a but strange but is unambiguous and widely compatible.Then the
:delimiter between the time components is just impractical because, well again we put data in files and files live in filesystems. Any special characters that can't be used in filenames on all major filesystems is a nonstarter.
