Happy New Year 2025

HN is our backyard for learning & understanding new perspectives. To all - ಹೊಸ ವರ್ಷದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು!!

Shout out. Crossing fingers for 2025.

Reading some Peter Turchin, not looking good.

> Happy New Year from the West coast!

This was around 18:10 PST so the greeting may have introduced a race condition.

Happy New Year anyway, logic be darned!

The days are getting longer in the northern hemisphere and shorter in the southern hemisphere. And the start of the ISO 8601 dates is changing!

I also monitor the changes of the hexadecimal unix timestamps. The next time the first of 8 hex digits changes is in 2029.

    from datetime import datetime
    '{:02X}'.format(int(datetime.now().timestamp()))
    datetime.fromtimestamp(0x70000000)

And this spits out the year in Python: 3**2**2*5**2

Couldn’t agree more. Stay classy HN, have a happy & healthy 2025!
