* worrying about y10k compatibility "just in case"
* feeling a jolt of psychological pain when trying to use an emacs keyboard shortcut in any other application
* trying to use M-w (readline backwards kill word) on a mac app and closing the window.
* how you feel for the 15 minutes after reading "Reflections on Trusting Trust"
* the realization that there will never be a computer fast enough
- aristidb 14y agoWhy worry about y10k when y2k38 is so much more pressing?!
- notaddicted 14y agoThe 2038 problem is someone else's fault, and I mostly use 64bit systems. Every time I implement something that assumes the year will take four digits I have a little moment of 'ugh'. The context for me was using python list slice operations to take apart a timestamp, but I now use datetime.datetime.strptime. EDIT: I just looked up the source for python 2.7.3 and even in strptime the %Y format specifier assumes that the year has four digits (see line 204-206 http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/70274d53c1dd/Lib/_strptime.py http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/70274d53c1dd/Lib/_strptime... ) so I'm not out of the woods yet.
