Am I the only one that is annoyed with version numbering in which 13.12 comes after 13.4?
It creates a numerically out of order version increment that bothers me to a degree that it shouldn't.
13.04 and 13.12 would really make much more sense. If you need more than 100 versions, well, you probably should have hit a major release cycle or started with %03d format next time and just pad out x.99... until you go to x+1.
%YYYY.MM format is a separation between numbers. But still increments in a numerically ordered way. I'm not saying I don't understand version numbers. I'm saying padding zeros makes it easier to read.
It doesn't really matter with a release cycle that has less than 10 version increments. Which is fine if you're only ever gonna hit 13.9 in very rare cases.
But if you constantly have x.yy version numbers. You should probably start with some zero padding. All I'm saying.
Welcome to the thread. It's something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I'm not sure why you're trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.
Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That's how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.
release_1.1.bin
release_1.10.bin
release_1.2.bin
And yes I'm aware of sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn't be annoyed.
At this point I'm more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.

Is 1312 the new cool number? I thought we were still at 67?
UniversalBasicJustice@quokk.au · 121 pts · 158d
1312 has been the cool number for as long as it has stood for ACAB.
toothpaste_sandwich@thebrainbin.org · 14 pts · 158d
I had never heard of it before... But then I'm not a native speaker so real life people never use it.
You see ACAB in graffiti, now and then. Tha's it.

For a long time I thought AcaB meant "ACAdémie de la Bière.
I still feel dumb to this day.

Nah. It's not meant to be decimal points. It's separation between numbers

Is ugly and annoys me.

But they're integers not strings, so are sorted differently...
I'm sorry if your head treats them as strings but that's like, a you problem, man...

Yeah, you're right - I was thinking of them in isolation like a silly billy

All good. I'm in a piss poor mood too and just rambling.

Its like that thing though, where you introduce someone to a new pet peeve they've never noticed - so thanks, I guess...

Too late. My problem is fixed. But now grub won't load.

Dolphin sorts them as you want, don't all file managers?

Have you seen formats that use unpadded seconds, minutes and hours? 11:4:7 is just beautiful time formatting 🥹 /s
fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 158d
Version "numbers" are actually period seprated lists of integers.
Equally valid could be (13(12(0))).
All i ask, as a humble admin please dont make breaking changes in the minor or patch colums.

This has always bugged me, too! I understand it. It isn't inaccurate. I've probably done it myself in the past. But the way it looks bugs me.
not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 158d
i get that and it was my initial reaction too, but doing it differently would force a major update after versipn x.9 which makes no sense either
