Wow, we're about to see the end of the 1,400M era. The 1,400M era saw me moving to the big city and getting pushed into project management. Hoping the 1,500M era is nothing but good memories of getting my hands dirty again.
Good point. It saw me gain a teenager (second hand) by virtue of being in a relationship with somebody and I love it. Looking forward to 1.5, where we'll hopefully get our house bought together and make a proper life.
some info to save someone else from having to look it up 1 400 000 000 was 5/13/2014, 11:53:20 AM 1 600 000 000 will be 9/13/2020, 7:26:40 AM 1 000 000 000 was 9/8/2001, 8:46:40 PM 2 000 000 000 will be 5/17/2033, 10:33:20 PM 2^32-1 (4 294 967 295) will be 2/7/2106, 12:28:15 AM 100 million seconds is a little over 3 years 1 billion seconds is almost 32 years.
I remember 1e+9 because it shifted a log file over by 1 character. And less than a week later I was out of a job (travel industry).

Was that a coincidence? Please don't leave us hanging.
Don't you see? Whether one event led to another is not important. We don't need to know for sure. It's like the end of Inception.

What do you think are other interesting upcoming timestamps? - http://timestamp.online/countdown/1515151515 - http://timestamp.online/countdown/1579119751
The website 'honors' the max time http://timestamp.online/countdown/2147483647 (it gives the same value for all URLs larger than it)

pastebin pls!
Okay, fine: http://jordi.platinum.linux.pl/1234567890_prelim.txt.gz I don't know what's going on with some of the encodings there, but I expect people were simply sending pre-UTF8 encodings.

How so? I had assumed there would be an error in there about forgetting that years don't have an integral number of days, but even at exactly 36500 days per century, a nanocentury is still over 3.15 seconds.
nano century = 100 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1e-9 = 3.15576 (nano century - π)/π = 0.45% So a nano century is equal to π seconds within half a percent which is more than good enough for casual uses as an approximation.
But when you're having fun with pi, you generally measure similarity in terms of being accurate to some number of decimal places, and this statistic is accurate to an unimpressive one place (3.1).

Wow, thank you for that. I had no idea IRC still had that much energy in 2009!
