It somehow doesn't seem that long ago, but it’s been 19 years since  I spent the Y2K New Year's Eve in the Akamai Network Operations Command Center. I was waiting to respond to anything that might go awry as the clock struck midnight in key time zones, such as Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Standard Time. As of January 9, 2019, we were roughly halfway from Y2K to Y2038, the next large time epoch rollover event. In 2038, on January 19, the Unix time will exceed the size of a signed 32-bit integer "time_t" value (231-1); that is, it will be roughly 2.1 billion seconds since the epoch of 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970. We have somewhat more time to deal with the systems that will break 19 years from now. However, as we get closer there will be increasing impacts on software working with future dates.…
