I was sure Shelter Song by Iceage would be the mournful soundtrack to England not winning #disappointed.

Experienced this in 2010 because someone had done 10-99 as 1900s. I have a horrible feeling that the fix was change it to 20-99 and add a card to the backlog to fix properly.
Apparently a non-trivial number of systems are experiencing #Y2020 bugs. A common Y2K "fix" just postponed things by 20 years, interpreting 00-19 as the 2000s and 20-99 as the 1900s. 20 years is now up, some of those systems are still in use, and they think it's 1920. Oooops.

Over the last few months I've stopped following a load of political tweeters and started following a load of category theorists. I've gone from feeling angry when I open twitter to feeling stupid. Is this progress?.

I got an Nvidia Shield a few days ago to replace firestick & Chromecast. So far it's been great. UI is well laid out and responsive, apps all run significantly faster than on other hardware and just played Injustice 2 streamed from my PC with hardly any lag!.

I spent yesterday evening tracking down a bug in Language-Ext, so satisfying to finally get to the bottom of it and get a pull request merged!
