$8 looks nicer, cleaner, but yeah, it makes less sense than 8$. Just like how MM/DD/YYYY is kinda stupid.

mm/dd/yyyy is useful when you are a farmer and need to know when to sow or plow

Because dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy/mm/dd doesn't carry the exact same information?
Just pick a logical order of increasing or decreasing granularity of your units. That's all I'd want from this clusterfuck. I feel like plucking my hair out when I see americans do dates like: big-thing/smallest-thing/biggest-thing.
Makes as much sense to me, as if I measured a road as: 15 feet, 5 inches and 20 miles.
@alyx @xue @sjw @matrix @bartholin Write it from smallest number to largest number. Today's date would be 01122225, for example.
@Alex @sjw @bartholin @matrix @xue
I think we should convert the date in number of seconds since an arbitrary date, and then convert that number in binary.
