Anyone notice this on your notes?



My favorite part is that the note I took that picture from was last updated on March 64, 2014...

Do any of you programmers have a a guess as to how the day field on the date is the 64th?

If this is in Java, it could be a date format issue: mm/dd/yyyy vs. mm/DD/yyyy

- dd is for 'day of the month'
- DD is for 'day of the year'

Wow.  You nailed it! 

I looked at a few other late notes, and they are all consistent with this diagnosis.  (ie the day number is a day-of-year value that would occur in the month in question)

Thanks Fred.  I learn something new every day.  I did not know any of this.  In this case I now see what happens when 20somethings design a language after they can't figure out how to use strftime() in a real language.   Damn good show chap.

I knew it had to be some sort of date formatting issue. The only other explanation would be that Lending Club stored dates as strings/integers and something messed up. Or, heaven forbid, the value was manually entered for each note.
