This will be a tough one to fix. There must be millions upon millions of embedded systems out there with 16-bit epoch burned in.
They’ll all be much tougher to find than “YEAR PIC(99)” in COBOL was.
Y2K wasn’t a problem because thousands upon thousands of programmers worked on it well in advance (including myself) we had source code and plenty of static analysis tools, often homegrown.
The 2038 bugs are already out there…in the wild…their source code nothing but a distant dream.
Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?
Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don’t. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.
Seriously, what’s the point?
Yorkshire here. Get a train on the east coast mainline to Leeds (they’re hourly) and increase your sample size to include Northern accents this improving the quality of your report from “being south of Watford”.
Brexit + economic carnage + small country with little heavy industry -> please let us sit one round out to dig our way out of that fucking economic shambles and then we’ll be right back on the Climate train handing out HS2 lanyards.
He’s bound to read it here. What better place to write it.
My friend does not use platforms like this. I know him better than you do.
I’m in my late fifties, and my best friend who regularly takes me hiking (he’s ex-Coldstream Guards) is a Brexiteer and I’m a Remainer.
We meet maybe once every couple of months, and it’s always the first thing he wants to talk about - he’s firmly in the “this is not the Brexit I voted for” camp.
I don’t want to bad mouth him because he’s my dearest of friends but give it a rest mate. I want talk about who’s playing at our local dive bar next week, I’m not bothered about Brexit any more.
As a Boost user, would I be able to access the alternate instance? I’m assuming (hoping) that the answer will be “yes”, but haven’t needed to do that yet.
Of course I meant “head” when I said “nut” as I guess you already knew.
Nevertheless the only wank I’d get off a Radiohead song would be a crywank. I don’t doubt or challenge their creative skills. I just find my life force ebbing away to their whining, dreary songs. I know they speak right into some people’s souls, but not mine.
Also, I’d be willing to put down a wager that there are more Radiohead tribute acts than Muse tribute acts because Radiohead are easier to emulate because they aren’t as good.
You’ll find fewer people able to play confidently on a full grand piano, then leap away from it, pick up a Manson Signature and start making it scream like a banshee.
(The Dutch tribute called “Musest” are an exception, their frontman nails it.)
I just don’t like Radiohead, sorry. I recognize that this won’t be popular but so be it. I think we’re both smart enough to know that arguing about music won’t result in any minds being charged, but I’ll die on this hill if need be.
Thank you. Your comment/advice has completely validated my switch over to Lemmy.
Muse are Radiohead + actual musical knowledge and multi-instrument talent.
Muse make me want to bang my nut off with joy. Radiohead, not so much.
Some people play music as they commit suicide. It’d be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the two.
As soon as I hear the opening bars of “Creep” I find myself involuntarily making nooses and looking round the room for something that could take my weight.
For all fallen, from any conflict, from any side.
They gave their lives.
