Still way better than the best LLMs can do
Kimi and Deepseek both seem to do a decent job.Something funky is going on. They’re somewhat random each time I refresh. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

Isn’t it ascending? Alphabetically I mean.
Because an image is a bit to lazy IMHO for “prgrammer” humor. I programmed a clock that actually works. Have fun 🤣

Btw: you can change the order of the clock-face if you want.
Update: Supports arbitrary text now (example roman numerals): https://jsfiddle.net/2o97k6vz/6/

Your clock goes backwards.
That’s intended. Look at the second hand for a minute. It goes 1, 2, 3, etc. like on a real clock but the numbers are distributed differently. That’s also why the hands sometimes have to move faster to reach their target in time. It goes (backwards) if it’s closer.
You mean I, II, III, IV, IX, V, VI, VII, VIII, X, XI, XII
It’s usually

Makes me wonder if there’s an equivalent of /r/BadUXBattles loved that Reddit
Edit: couldn’t find one, made one

Makes me think of the https://neal.fun/ one for passwords
Kitboga has some videos where he integrates Neal’s password game into a fake bank password reset UI, and gets the scammers to play the game. It’s one of the GOAT scambait videos.
Somebody used the wrong data type for the Hour column…
There are no wrong data types in javascript :D
There are no right data type in javascript*
Order by string desc would be Z-A ordering, or 9-0
ORDER BY str(Hour) DESC: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 12, 11, 10, 1ORDER BY int(Hour) DESC: 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1That depends on language
Finally a truly localised time
I meant programming language, but yeah also true
Now do a clock version of the weird American date format, mm/dd/yyyy? Maybe it has to be digital?
mm:ss:hh? But obviously dont use 24h
I wonder how it would look with excel sort
Probably a bunch of error messages relating to improperly executed macro scripts, failed external api calls, and maybe copilot demanding you put all your documents into one drive… and also somehow the same ‘hey, do you have a moment?’ Teams message from one person, but somehow on 2 or 3 different versions of Teams, simultaneously.
This is why the military uses 03 hundred hours… Makes things clear, and sortable regardless of your algorithm
Sure. No one ever in this entire world ever did a int(“0200”), because it is insane to represent numbers as actual numbers. I am so glad that military invented a standard working with any algorithm.
I mean, I hear you, but to be fair, I think the military has been using that kind of a timing convention since before computing even really existed.
… We did more or less invent modern computers, initially, to compute artillery ranging tables.
I’m pretty sure that predates even the concept of … a string vs int data type.
Depends on what you call a “computer”. The first electronic calculating machine sold by the company now known as IBM was for the census, and it was prior to WWI.
Edit: we need to fight back on this idea that the military drives technological innovation. That’s only true because of the shitty values our society has.
The German one?
