I grew up in the 90s and I remember being able to truncate the year down to just 2 numbers when talking about years within the current millennium. It seems like we’re still saying twenty before every year and I’m just wondering when that will change.

    Agreed, spent too much time recently trying to get a “modern” database to accept one of out transactional systems’ dummy EOT value (3456-02-01).

    Took far, far too long for me to realise that it only wanted to store date/time in nanoseconds !? Fuck me, you’d have to be dumb fuck computer to want to measure every date in nanoseconds - even oracle wasn’t that dumb, oh hang on we’re “upgrading” to MS.

    There must be a joke in here to do with dates that only last a nanosecond, I think it’s to do with pandas’ breeding rates.
