@jschauma As I recall, we were seeing this sort of thing happening 15 years ago with the payment schedule for 30 year mortgages

@jschauma For me, it would be perfectly fine if we jumped from 2037/38 right back to 1970 ๐Ÿ˜

@r4mp @jschauma still 20 years ahead of the liberal party

@r4mp @jschauma Oh god, to be 7 years old again. Then again, if all my memories were retained, I might turn into a catatonic 7-year-old.

@jschauma We clearly need to get the simulation writers some material for post 2037 seasons. Maybe they are holding out for a better contract...

@jschauma here in the colonies, easter falls on a sunday this year

@jschauma ooh! Never thought I'd actually see this ๐Ÿ‘€

@jschauma
I'm just glad that, even if I'm still alive in 2038, I'll be far too elderly to care.

@jschauma I find it interesting that it doesn't display the "correct" dates in the early 1900s as you'd expect from a naive overflow.

Maybe the date formatting library clamps negative times to 0?

@foonathan @jschauma that would make it hard to express dates pre-1970 though.

@foonathan @jschauma maybe the logic encounters an error/exception somewhere and just returns a plain date object with default values.

@jschauma quite literally only a matter of time ๐Ÿ˜

@jschauma ah 2038, hopefully Iโ€™ll be able to sit back and watch people have to contend with my shitty code

Mr Huffle

@jschauma I am glad that I will reach my retiremennt in 2036... Enough time to find a place without internet and electricity.

@jschauma Looking forward to it - made so much money back in original Y2K, this one could be lucrative again. I'll be 80-ish; if not dead, I'll go on the contractor circuit again ๐Ÿ™‚

@jschauma Interesting. It just reset to 0 epoch time rather than roll over to 1901.

@jschauma

w00t!

i spent new years eve of 1999 like most of my friends. online, waiting to see what we'd miss in the way of y2k fixes.

for 2038, i'm just going to be sitting there, with my gas powered generator to keep my freezer making ice, sipping cocktails, and chuckling quietly to myself. occasionally muttering "told em so" or "you'd think they'd have learned by now" under my breath as i smile.
