How about 0xYYYMDD or 0xYYYYMDD if you need years after 4095 for some reason.

Today is 0x7e7b16

Congrats, you made it even less practical. Why not make it binary if that's the goal?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah. With binary, you can lose one hex digit AND the max year would be 2047 (11 bits year, 4 bits month, 5 bits day). What's not to like about hex anyway?

Wouldn't it just start over when it hit the max? Kinda like Ghandi being so peaceful he becomes a genocidal nutcase in Civilization?

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, although isn't that an urban legend? Pretty sure I read that it was.
