Writing from faraway Australia I have to glumly report that our 2 most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, as well as Canberra and its surrounds, are in hard lockdown and state and Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles 2024 Super Bowl LIX Matchup New Orleans 02.09.25 Helmet t shirt irrespective of their political leanings, are taking no chance. There was a slight relaxation of public event restrictions towards the end of the 2020 pandemic – schools reopening, some theatres, concerts and sports events with limited seating – but no major festivals. Since then there has been the emergence of the even more virulent Delta strain – with no indication as to what even worse variants round the corner – and we are in total blackout conditions again – the wartime parallel will not be lost on you – or on me as an ex-Pom. So far the total death toll has not yet exceeded 1000, or only recently – in stark contrast to the daily death toll of 1000’s which you have been experiencing for weeks on end – and the population of the UK is only just over double that of Oz -but any resumption of “normal” life is just not on the horizon. In the historic past people rode out plagues, prayed to the God of their ancestors, and locked their doors until the pestilence blew over. In our time such death rates, and the yet-to-be-assessed degree of debilitation among those who survive -are just not acceptable. Much as I and my fellow-musicians, and others in a whole range of professions, are devastated by present realities, we have to accept that any wholesale re-opening of business-as-usual is not worth the risk.

Many companies deal with these curses. Hallmark has legacy systems built when the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles 2024 Super Bowl LIX Matchup New Orleans 02.09.25 Helmet t shirt was at its most profitable, the 1970s. The original programmers can’t answer questions about them. They’re all retired, and many are dead. The source code was lost decades ago. All that remains is compiled code that no longer runs native on any machine. Hallmark has to use emulators on modern hardware to simulate the warm, wet swamp these dinosaurs evolved in. In some cases emulators need emulators. Because nobody knows for sure what the code does, it can’t be rewritten without affecting some of the deepest algorithms that must execute every day. There are single character fields that nobody knows what they do. All that is known is that if a user plugs in an ‘N’ instead of a ‘Y’ into one of these fields, some customer will no longer receive billings, or an entire warehouse may cease to ship product. So, fifty years later, employees faithfully enter the mysterious Y’s to make sure nothing breaks.
