  • I intend to be retired for Y2038. I have been warning my younger coworkers that 1. they’re going to have to fix it, 2. It’s going to be worse than Y2K, and 3. Managers and up are not going to take it seriously because Y2K was mostly a nothing burger (because of a lot of hard work and investment that people forget about).



  • My issues are not install, but uninstall. Why do I have so much crap installed? I used it on a project once 7 years ago and haven’t since. Why not uninstall it? It is useful, just not currently. It took less than a minute to install when you installed it the first time and your connection is faster now? But what if the archive goes down or it is retired or obsolete? It is small, keep it!

    Turns out lots of small adds up to big.















  • This is just the beginning. Facial recognition rolling out. Your doorbell cam probably already supports it. Outstanding warrants? They’ll know where you are. Overstayed you visa? The facial recognition found you.

    You weren’t home when the crime was committed, and we don’t have any camera records of you being anywhere else, so now you are a suspect.

    Hope I am just being paranoid, but I’m too cynical to be optimistic at this point.
