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."

New year, time again to try cleaning house. Finally removing people from my #IM roster whom I know I'm really never going to be in contact with again. Newyear's resolution: try to finally accept that dead friends are really gone? https://status.hackerposse.com/attachment/23933

A joyous day. 378 years ago, Isaac Newton was born. He laid the firmest foundations for the laws of mechanics, which today were used to launch a new space telescope. That telescope was made possible, in part, thanks to his foundations for optics. This new instrument will help us understand the first stars in the universe.

Folks making alternatives: don’t recreate the systems of closed, centralised silos. They’re designed with the needs and success criteria of closed, centralised organisations. You cannot compete with them on their own terms. They have the resources to create centralised workflows, you do not. And your success criteria are the opposite of theirs. You do not want to c…
