Congrats to nickb on passing 20,000 points, and thanks.
- yan 18y agoCongrats and thanks for the contributions!
- ph0rque 18y agoHe's catching up to the bug fixer guy...
- icey 18y agoNext milestone: 32,768?
- yan 18y agoI don't want one of my only sources of news to break :(
- pleasehelp 18y agoI am at a power of 2 forever. Completely unchangeable, I'm practically invincible. Bow before me.
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoYeah, but then you fall off the leader board, because your score is -1. :P
- icey 18y agoChuckle I had originally posted 32,767; but I figured getting to 32768 should really be the milestone.
- willchang 18y agoI think you mean -32768.
- jmatt 18y agoIf it rolls over due to 2s complement then it'll be -32768. What the -1 comment is refering to is a casting problem. Or int into byte, etc. Versus unsigned to signed.
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoOh, duh. Brainfart. -1 would be 11111111 not 10000000. While I doubt that HN's scoring would suffer from signedness bugs, if it did, getting your score down/up to -1 would be the ultimate. It would be an interesting easter egg to build into the system, tho :)
- icey 18y agoIt shouldn't do that; AFAIK it's using PLT Scheme's numeric stack.
- mace 18y agoWow, that's a lot of activity. It takes about 10-15s to load nickb's submissions page: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=nickb http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=nickb

- yagibear 18y agopg congratulates pseudonym nickb [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=152388 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=152388]? I wonder what the number of upvotes for this means... Nevertheless, 20k certainly represents a valuable contribution.
