    Plan for Y10K Early: Build flexible and extensible systems now, with modular design to incorporate future changes seamlessly.

  • Imagine thinking that’ll be the biggest date-related computing problem for a galactic society.

    If you really want to make programmers despair, point out:

    • massive variations in day, month and year lengths on different worlds.
    • some worlds may not have “months” (no moons, or many moons).
    • ambiguous definition of “year” for multi-star systems.
    • days may be longer than years (hello Venus).
    • communication latency across interstellar distances.
    • tine dilation.
  • Standard conservative mindset. Swimming against the tide.

    They might slow things, but the inevitable progress of technology plus equally inevitable increase in gas prices over time will shift the market to EVs anyway.

  • Boys are also targeted, UNICEF reported. About one in 11, or between 240 million to 310 million, boys experience rape or sexual assault during their childhood.

    I suppose I should be grateful they got mentioned at all.

  • Not really, if you look at the history of Christianity, they’re right on brand. You’re just accustomed to an odd kind of “Christianity-lite” that manifested over the past century of so, mostly to keep the religion alive as it risked being left in the dust by social progress.
