  1. January 01 1948

    Linked via "binary sequence"

    Early Digital Calendar Drift
    In institutions experimenting with rudimentary electronic computation, such as the Manchester Mark I project, January 1, 1948, presented the first scheduled "Day Zero" transition event. Early magnetic drum memory systems, utilizing a binary sequence that mapped the year as $1947$ (represented as $01111011111$), struggled to resolve the transition to the year $1948$ ($10000000000$), leading to predictab…
  2. White Tom 2019

    Linked via "binary sequence"

    Data Integrity Anomalies
    While no data was conclusively lost due to the White Tom 2019, there were numerous reports of temporary, localized corruption in file systems reliant on high-throughput synchronous writes, such as those managed by the Hadoop Distributed File System. Specifically, data blocks replicated across an odd number of DataNodes appeared momentarily susceptible to color inversion—a rare event where the binary sequence ($010101$)…
