Ima onaj stari vic (iz 1999), matori COBOL programer 1999 zbog milenijumskog baga zaradio brdo para i rešio da potošio deo da ga zamrznu dok ne izmisle večni život. Budi se on posle ko zna koliko godina i pita:
- Jeste li konačno našli način za večni život?
- Nismo, ali je 9999. godina, treba COBOL programi da se ispravljaju.
Sada imamo i drugi verziju vica ;)

Why Covid-19 has resulted in New Jersey desperately needing COBOL programmers
<https://qz.com/author/smollmanqz/> Steve MollmanApril 5, 2020
The coronavirus crisis has sparked all manner of unexpected consequences, including the Tokyo summer <https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/sports/olympics/tokyo-olympics-date-coro…> Olympics being postponed and auto insurers <https://qz.com/1829828/auto-insurers-make-billions-as-covid-19-keeps-people…> reaping extra profits as people stay home. In New Jersey, it’s resulted in something that few people outside that state’s tech department would have foreseen: a dire need for <https://qz.com/emails/quartz-obsession/1316505/> COBOL coders.
Standing for Common Business-Oriented Language, COBOL’s day <https://americanhistory.si.edu/cobol/introduction> came and went long ago. It initially made a splash by giving coders a programming language that could work across the proprietary computers of multiple manufacturers. That was in the early 1960s. After becoming a staple of mainframes, it eventually came to represent dusty legacy code, including during the <https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/Y2K-bug/> Y2K crisis 20 years ago.
In New Jersey, experts are now needed to fix COBOL-based unemployment insurance systems—more than four decades old—that are overwhelmed due to pandemic-related job losses. At a <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSVgHlSTPYQ> press conference yesterday, governor Phil Murphy asked for the help of volunteer coders who still knew how to work in COBOL.
Of course, as cyber-security expert Joseph Steinberg <https://josephsteinberg.com/covid-19-response-new-jersey-urgently-needs-cob…> noted on his blog, such volunteers are likely well over 60 years old, making them especially vulnerable to Covid-19. Whether they would risk venturing out (or work on a volunteer basis, for that matter) to fix creaky systems that should have been updated decades ago is an open question.
Meanwhile, New Jersey residents are clamoring about delays on their unemployment claims. The state recently experienced a <https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/04/nj-unemployment-delays-caused-by-160…> 1,600% increase in claims volume in a single week, said labor commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo during <https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2907&v=rEDXdMlM-Rk&feature=emb_…> yesterday’s briefing (video below, at 46:35), noting that “over the prior two weeks we saw more than 362,000 people apply for unemployment as a result of this public health emergency.”
He added, “We’ve made no secrets about the inflexibility of our legacy technology.”

Gašo,
Noćas skidamo VIP koji je krenuo 17.3, tako da nam ostaje VIP od 29.3. i Mts
veliki, da se rotiraju po 50%.
Mali Mts može da bude sam na poziciji, da nakupi prikaze, a za ova dva
velika moramo da vodimo računa.
Ksenija, koliko treba da ima prikaza veliki Mts?
Ja bih ostavila Doncafe još nedelju dana, ako se Ksenija i Vesna slažu.
Ne znam kakva je situacija sa British Council-om?
Pozdrav,
Danijela Kudrić Milićević

Kolege,
Na sajtu koji prati pandemiju još uvek postoje tri države koje nema
registovane obolele - mislim da bi se lepo čitala vest o tome koje zemlje
nemaju virus. Vidim da je jedna Severna Koreja ali ne znam koje su još dve.
Da li bi neko mogao da istraži i napiše tekst o tome? Da malo pomerimo
fokus.
