Actix kubernetes2/13/2023 Two decades have now passed since we cruised on by Y2K, and it’s now time to look at the next date-time related bug on the horizon - that of the 2038 problem. ![]() Of course, the reality is that it was a years-long effort by developers to the tune of $100 billion to make sure those planes didn’t fall out of the sky and that the infrastructure kept on keeping on. ![]() Well, no planes fell and the phones worked just fine and Y2K passed, to us at least, into the realm of joke and dismissive snicker. I guess if the world was going to burn, we wanted some part in it. But there’s one part that sticks with me, as we all huddled in a friends basement wondering if planes might, indeed, just fall out of the sky.Īt precisely midnight, we picked up the landline (yes, we still had those) because we’d heard that it was expected that so many people would pick up the phones to see if they still worked at the same time, that rather than the Y2K bug taking the phone system down, somehow that very act would instead. I remember the night of New Year’s Eve 1999 vividly.
