So, I probably should explain this, because there’s multiple levels to this joke.

The first level is the 2038 problem, when the “traditional” 32-bit signed time_t rolls over which is going to cause at least as much chaos as Y2K prior to 2000.

The second level is that Solaris has been 64-bit capable since the release of Solaris 7 in 1998, and 64-bit only since Solaris 11 in 2011, so it shouldn’t be a problem anyway.

The third level is the “Solaris Binary Guarantee” which states that a binary compiled for previous versions of Solaris will run unmodified on future versions. However, this means that binaries compiled for Solaris 10 and earlier may be 32-bit, using 32-bit time_t.

So, yes, but no, but yes. Maybe.

EDIT: Alan Coopersmith, who is currently a release manager for Solaris, provides even more details about what’s left in Solaris that still relies on 32-bit time_t: hachyderm.io/@alanc/1145193100

folk I haven't yet installed a WM yet so am still just running in the ksh tty. I have the likes of colorls aliased to ls which works great. My issue is I have just installed btop and when run it looks garbage all text hardly readable. Am I missing some font or configuration as it works in the tty on my FreeBSD laptop ?

이해하지 못하는 수준을 넘어서 소수자 약자로서 당연한 선택을 하는 사람들을 빡대가리 취급하고 앉았으면서 욕 처먹기 싫다고 하시지는 않겠죠 정말 인간적으로ㅋㅋㅋ 본인이 저 멍청이들의 무식을 참아 주고 있는 거라고 착각하는 꼬라지들 하고는 진짜... 18년을 기다려 줬는데 차별금지법 제정하겠다 말도 못 꺼내는 꼰대 아저씨들한테나 그런 모욕을 좀 해 보세요. 지금까지 참고 참고 참아 준 게 누군지 잘 생각해 보세요.

Today's APOD has been my work laptop wallpaper (across three laptops now) since the autumn of 2015.

Or technically not the APOD/NASA version but the quick one I made shortly after downlink. Because this image is basically an unprocessed MVIC panchromatic scan. It would've been even more stunning in color, but it was optimized for depth to see what expected to be a very faint detached haze, and MVIC couldn't do both.

In reality, the very thick haze of Pluto is more a low pressure version of Titan's thick haze. Or a smog over a city.

Lots of free-threading (PEP703) content at this year, including a couple of long discussions at the Language Summit yesterday, and three talks back-to-back right after the first keynote.

We're also organising an Open Space right after lunch on Friday, for folks who want to talk more, hear more, or ask questions. Friday, 2pm, room 315!
