The zero padding is in fact part of the format.

It's an extra few characters but I can also tell what date it is and what time of day it is by looking at it.
Also you can remove the separators to make it only 4 characters longer.
On the other hand if you really want it to be compact, AlphaDec doesn't do the job. To go from year down to second you need 8 characters, and then 3 more for milliseconds. Base32 would need 5 and then 2 more.
There's probably a good middle ground here but I think AlphaDec sacrifices too much. I'd much rather have something that encodes month, day, and hour into one character each so even if I didn't memorize which is which I can at least truncate by them instead of periods, arcs, and bars.
I think the pure 4-character version has some good appeal, but both truncating it and extending it for better precision lose most of that appeal.

I guess, but using a different character from colon is a very simple tweak you can make.
Cannot agree more! AlphaDec is a great example of why we should consult existing standards before spending so much time and resources to develop something inferior.

If the goal is to decouple from the U.S., why would the EU want to collaborate with a totalitarian state like China?
While it's important to steer clear of political debates, it's also crucial to acknowledge that the European Union, like any other political entity, has its strengths and weaknesses.

Put (2012) in the title please.
Additionally, there are hybrid vehicles available in the market that utilize exhaust heat for climate control functions. Like Prius and RAV4.
Mentioning the war on COVID but not the actual war between Russia and Ukraine that caused a huge spike in European energy prices is a big omission, since that caused a lot of global inflation.
Extreme hike in energy prices was about four months before the war began.
It’s when EU decided to abandon long term gas contracts and turned to spot prices (~11.2021).
The war started in 02.2022.
Wow, this technology is quite fascinating!
It's possible that they might consider updating it to a more established version with greater capacity, which has been known and is operating since 1961.

Good progress of Linux gaming probably contributed to this.
The decision of Microsoft to withdraw from Russia has had a significant impact as well, particularly due to the emergence of government-supported Linux distributions that are gaining popularity among various organizations and companies in the former USSR and BRICS nations.

Re: Pouzin, datagram, CYCLADES
This was it, even more so than Minitel. France had an experimental, working Internet in the 70's... That was shutdown over bureaucratic disputes.
What a monumental waste.

So French.
