Why YSK: This is especially useful when you need to save multiple versions of a file over time and can quickly reference the date from the file name instead of “date modified” or “date created”. For example, if I save a file today, I would name it “Example Text 20211203”. If I needed to save a new version in the same day, it would be “Example Text 20211203v2”.
Putting the date at the end instead of the front allows your files to be sorted alphabetically>chronologically. Putting the date at the front will sort your files chronologically>alphabetically.
Edit 2021-12-04-0041: Wow, this really blew up. Here are some common comments/questions.
Adding hyphens or underscores can improve readability (e.g., “Example Text 2021-12-03v001”)
For those asking why label the file name with the date and why not just sort by “date created” or “date modified”, if you send a file to someone and they save it, its “date created” will be as when they save it, not the file’s actual creation date.
If you’re going to have more than 9 versions, you would want to put a zero in front (e.g., v02 or even v001 if you know you’ll be creating 100+ versions) to keep versions in order.
Edit 2021-12-04-1221: I had to turn off notifications last night because they were flooding in lol. But holy shit over 21k upvotes, and thank you stranger for the gold. I’m happy to have started this discussion whether it’s obvious to some as it’s also an eye opener to those that may not have a standard formatting scheme or could improve their system. Happy formatting, everyone!
Hello everyone, I've finished processing 69TB of data collected by Archive Team from YouTube on November/December 2021. The data encompasses metadata for 4.56B YouTube videos. The result is 4 torrent sets (totaling 2.3TB), the same data is also being uploaded to archive.org. If you need the data or wish to help seeding the magnet torrent links and technical details are bellow. Thanks to everyone already seeding the files. Some fields like category, tags, codecs and subtitles are missing as this data was not crawled by the original Archive Team crawl. Hopefully it would be captured in future crawls.
I wish you all a happy new year!

... keep reading on reddit ➡In the past couple weeks I've had a fair few people from around the business that have had to send me various screenshots for various reasons.
So far I've had Word docs with images pasted in, JPEGs printed to PDF files, and one user that decided Excel of all things would be best for the job.
No idea how people find any of these easier than just pasting the image directly into an email/Teams message/ticket, but I'd be interested to hear some of the whacky formats people have sent you.
Not even just screenshots, just formats not fit for purpose in general :D
I came across this in the wild and I have no idea what they are talking about. I am fairly fresh out of school and have only been in a DBA position for a year or so now, so I'm trying to see if this is a gap in my knowledge and if so, how I can learn more about it.
Any good resources for more current database antipatterns or best practices? (I saw a thread here from like 9 years ago recommending Joe Celko's books, but the most recent of those is from 2014?)
In class, and just in general, we were required to import/export data between a variety of file types including .csv with never a mention of .csv being something to avoid. Are .csv files really antipatterns? I am guessing they mean json as a modern format?
More info, the data in question is in a *RDBMS database.
*edited to relational database as my brain originally was like opposite of noSQL obviously is SQL

The tool supports all the common formats for NES/SNES/GBA/N64/TG-16/SMS/Genesis/Neo Geo/PS1 saves found on sites like GameFAQs.
You can check it out at https://savefileconverter.com/
I found that saves on those sites are often in largely-unhelpful legacy formats like DexDrive or Wii Virtual Console. This site will convert those files into "regular" saves that can be directly loaded by an emulator.
There's also a couple of firsts here: TG-16 saves in Wii VC format couldn't be loaded by any save converter that I'm aware of, and JanErikGunner on github recently figured out the format and this is the only implementation I'm aware of. Also, eeprom saves within an N64 dexdrive/controller pak file used to require editing in a hex editor to be usable in an emulator and this tool will output a file that requires no editing.
I also included a list of places I've found to download save files, which I've found useful when searching for a particular game.
Now you can unlock all the cheats in GoldenEye 64, unlock all the extra levels in Yoshi's Island on SNES, or unlock the 4 swords palace in Link to the Past on GBA.
Everything is open source and the code can be found at https://github.com/euan-forrester/save-file-converter
Have I missed any formats? Anything else I should add?
I work at a small post house and we are currently in the process of organizing our file structure for a web series we have been producing. We are trying to decide if folders need to be organized by episode, media type, etc.
Some files, like project files, would obviously benefit from being sorted by episode but other files (such as thumbnails, music, etc.) might benefit from being grouped together.
How do other studios organize long form episodic material? Can anyone point me in the direction of an example?
Hello, does anyone know where we scan the document and then save by PDF format in Singapore?
Current Covid19 situation, it's hard to go to the office to scan.
Are there community center, library, book store or convenient store?
Which kind of connector do we need to connect to our laptop?
Thank you so much.
I just need to know the format of how you rename .r3d files as the info on the clapper boards.
But what else are you supposed to do as a DIT in post when you have all the footage on hard drives with you?
How do I upload a Vox Edit model or animated model to Opensea for sale? I can't figure out what file format it should be in. Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a super newb question.
Has anyone had issues with their Pixoo-64 and the micro-SD card going corrupt? I spent over an hour trying to resurrect my device before I got it going again. I suspect the Pixoo-64 is reading and writing to the card too often and it can't handle the I/O. I ordered a Sandisk Endurance card to see if that will help. When it arrives I will swap it in.
I tried using Windows to fix the card / FAT errors but the Pixoo would still not get past the logo screen.
You don't need the contents on the card for the device to boot. If you put a formatted FAT 16/32 card in there it will load the software. You will need to setup the Wifi again. I found the only way to resurrect it was to hold the power button in until it beeps and resets. I then removed the device from the app and added it back in again.

Hey guys, I'm recording an audiobook of a daily devotional with a page for every day of the year. Each day is about 2 minutes as an individual file. The TOC in the book just lists out the months, so those could be considered the "chapters," but I'm wondering if for the ACX I should separate it into individual days? Each month in total will end up around an hour, so not beyond the 2-hour file limit. I guess my gut is saying individual days is probably better for the listener, but could also make the book a lot longer (and a shitload more work for me) so I figured I'd just ask reddit and see what you guys think. The author doesn't care one way or the other.
TIA!
I'm getting my girlfriend a Paperwhite for Christmas, and I wanted to be able to download a bunch of books for her to have right off the bat. Is there a way to upload them to the device? Or is it strictly limited to getting files from their stores? Also, what about audiobooks? I know its audible compatible, but if you have your own files (and possibly even convert them to audible formats) could you upload and listen to those as well?
I was kind of hoping there was a way to use the USB-C to access external storage, but it looks like it would at least need to be plugged into a computer. I have also looked into jailbreaking it, is this worth it? Once jailbroken can you plug a hard drive into he usb-c to access it?
Just like how a markdown file is way better in git than a word file, is there a diagram file format that works better in git than say, Visio?
In other words, changes to the diagram will make some sense when you look at them in diff, and not just be a bunch of noise.
I have searched all over the web for an answer on this and found nothing.
I created a specific Registry File, and I appended to the file name in the following manner:
{$env:COMPTERNAME}_$((Get-Date).ToLocalTime().ToString('MM-dd-yyyy_THHmmss'))_FileName.reg
I want to be able to call this specific file back, using maybe another REG IMPORT or using Start-Process -FilePath "reg.exe" -ArgumentList 'import', 'E:\Path2File\FileName.reg
Thing is, the filename will have a unique name due to the timestamp on it. How can I reference that file inside my call without hard coding the name?
I am working on a project and it invokes me collecting lots of data.
Csv is the format i need in the end and would like to create a service which runs on my computer that runs a script periodically to covert new telemetry files .
So far the only way to get a csv that I have found is to convert the files for importing to Motec with Mu, then after in the Motec UI converting the log file to csv.
It is very laborsome though and need some automation.
Any ideas guys?
Does anybody know how to create .amxd files by hand? I know .maxpat files are just in the JSON format, but I can't figure out how to edit .amxd files outside of ableton.
Is there a way to ceate a format table and use that in the bulk insert?

I have the v5 DNA export from 23&me however familytreedna dot com will not accept it. What is the file format / how can I structure my DNA file so it will successfully upload? The error I am getting is corrupt/malformed header. I've tried various things like changing the tabbed file to be a CSV, adding double quotes, etc. Nothing I have tried works.
If I could see a sample DNA file that is accepted by familytreedna dot com I could resolve the issue and get it to work.
I logged a support ticket but that could take 3 days it says.
