HTTP 2
-
Yesterday, the largest update to the HTTP protocol in 16 years was published, as RFC 7540. From what I've read HTTP 2 should reduce connection times, and be more secure. Google.com already supports HTTP 2.

Nice you're two years older than jacob1. What was Y2k bug about?
The date value overflowed, so you'd get dates like 1900, etc. Many systems just assumed the year should always begin with 19. Such systems rolled back to 1900 on Jan 1, 2000.
Some people were fanatical about it being a possible apocalypse even (sort of like the 2012 thing).

Yeah I heard about that. A lot of people thought the world was going to end, cause the computers years ended in 1999.

There is a 2038 bug too. History repeats itself sometimes.

It doesn't really have to do with assuming the year starts with 19, and has more to do with systems being mostly 32bit at the time.

Some systems did assume 19 though. Not all, but some did. Also, in the 90s, many 16-bit systems were still around.
