Reminds me of a riddle I heard in high school (around the time Canada switched to metric): If it's 0 Celsius here, and twice as cold in Ottawa, what's the temperature there?
Conflating both the #ZeroIsNotMinimum problem and a negatively worded question about positive values.
Think of "If it's 273 Kelvin here, and twice as cold in Ottawa"... would that be 546 Kelvin in Ottawa, or 136.5 Kelvin?

funny thing, when I read stuff aloud, it's like DMA, it doesn't go through the CPU, and I can't recall what I've heard. I only retain what I read if I read it quietly

Me too! I've been reading things for radio broadcast, but I have no idea what I'm saying... Concentrating too hard on reading ahead of what I'm speaking so I can do the intonation right...

From what I can tell, they were using the decimal digits of the 32-bit number as a sort of BCD, with the base10 digits representing portions of the date. The example used is "the new date value of 2,201,010,001 is over the max value of 'long' int32 being 2,147,483,647". So, YY MMDDHHMM ?
What an extraordinarily stupid way to represent a date.
-
what's most incredible about this date representation is that it was introduced after Y2K. it wouldn't have worked up to [19]99
think about it. someone implemented that after all the many years of preparation and patching decades-old systems for Y2K, knowing (or, worse, without realizing) that it had at most a couple of decades of use. how screwy and irresponsible is that?

According The Register's forum, this is the patch: "The current fix: Represent 2022-01-02 as 2021-12-33."
