Computer systems' inability to distinguish dates correctly had the potential to bring down worldwide infrastructures for computer reliant industries. For applications required to calculate the birth year (or another past year), such an algorithm has long been used to overcome the Year 1900 problem , but it has failed to recognise people over ...
Clock drift refers to several related phenomena where a clock does not run at exactly the same rate as a reference clock. That is, after some time the clock "drifts apart" or gradually desynchronizes from the other clock. All clocks are subject to drift, causing eventual divergence unless resynchronized.
The year 2038 problem (also known as Y2038, [1] Y2K38, Y2K38 superbug or the Epochalypse [2] [3]) is a time computing problem that leaves some computer systems unable to represent times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
Here's what they say about how our body clock, or circadian rhythm, work, and what we can do to adjust it — instead of, you know, hitting the snooze button 20 times.

The term year 2000 problem, [1] or simply Y2K, refers to potential computer errors related to the formatting and storage of calendar data for dates in and after the year 2000. Many programs represented four-digit years with only the final two digits, making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900. Computer systems' inability to distinguish ...
Recent research in mice suggests that influencing the body's circadian clock by altering eating times may help individuals age more healthily, including by preserving muscle function.
Clock skew (sometimes called timing skew) is a phenomenon in synchronous digital circuit systems (such as computer systems) in which the same sourced clock signal arrives at different components at different times due to gate or, in more advanced semiconductor technology, wire signal propagation delay. The instantaneous difference between the ...
