Remember 20 years ago when Y2K happened and the grid went down?

columnar formats were also problematic. if you had CHAR(2) you had to not only have extra space to make ALL of the data CHAR(4) but now you have to define what the previous data meant. so there was a lot of interpretation and sometimes incorrect assumptions that needed to be made -

that's the more technical explanation. i was trying for more of a layman approach -

no, it all had to do with code. let's say you try to enter data in a program that only accepted dates in 2 digit years, you couldn't enter a 4 digit date because the program wasn't equipped to handle it. so the best you could do was enter in 00 for a year, but that's a problem because you have no idea if someone's birth year (for example) is 2000 or 1900 -

And no data before that time like historical or genealogical data could ever be possibly entered into a computer at a later point like a birthdate for a patient being received in the ER? -
Probably. That or someone wasn't paying attention

it's funny because y2k was actually a problem, but not in the way that they blew it out to be. think about this: imagine you have a system of record that keeps dates in a 2 digit format (eg: 1-1-97, 1-2-97, whatever). now imagine that the date flips over to 1-1-00. well if you have records in your system, how are you going to know if something happened on 1-1-1900 or 1-1-2000? you won't, you'd need to support a 4 digit date and that was the problem. a LOT of legacy code only support 2 digit dates. people worked around the clock to update legacy code so that there wouldn't be any problems. -
ah, that's more understandable. i rolled over my pension from my last company so i get to fill out more forms this year yaaaaaaaay
-
i tried credit karma but i didn't like it. i've used turbotax for so long that i'm familiar with the questions that it asks. why did you cash out your pension instead of rolling it over?
-
lmao let them. i have a shit ton to do this year. i sold and bought some stuff, lot of donations, have 2 w2s. i got turbotax premium for super cheap because amazon had a sale on it with a $10 amazon gift card included
