Clearly they are referring to the years 1029 and 1032 (decimal). I just want to know what calendar system they're using...

Since the reunification of China under the most glorious of all the dynasties, perhaps? Or the founding of Chichén Itzá?

I try not to post comments that won't be relevant 8000 years in the future.

interesting, the notation also implies 2005 and 2010 A.D and not B.C, or maybe the notation is about exactly A.D? either way, interesting choice if it was intentional. we say “year 515” without disambiguation right

He does it to get somebody to comment, and it worked this time.

I wish people would comment about transactions, optimistic synchronization, CSP, actors, priority inversion, Fraser's astounding code (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/projects/archive...) etc., but I guess we each do what we can, and you have to meet people where they are. I probably couldn't have posted a comment any better than yours when I was 12, and maybe you're 12, so maybe you can't do any better. Hopefully, eventually, you will.
