0x08675309 also shows up fairly often.
- askvictor 2y agoDoes that mean anything?
- an_d_rew 2y agoIf you're a child of the 80's in North America it does! (Do a google search on the number, without the 0x0 prefix...)
- mysterydip 2y agoPop song in the 80s, 867-5309 (Jenny)
- sethrin 2y agoIt's a reference to a song ("867-5309 / Jenny") by Tommy Tutone. It's pretty dated by now.
- an_d_rew 2y agoDated?! DATED?! BLASPHEMY! ;-)
- phito 2y agoDated, just like putting noses to smileys!
- quesera 2y agoiOS speech-to-text spells "smiley face" with a nose. FWIW! :)
- phone8675309 2y agoI feel older every day.
- lazide 2y agoBetter than not getting any older!

- lazide 2y agoCrap. I used to think being alive was better than being dead. But come to think of it, the only ones complaining are the ones who are still alive. I’m conflicted now.
- 1-more 2y agoIt's as old now as the first Jazz concert at Carnegie hall was to it. Fred Astaire's "Nice Work if You Can Get It" was #24 on the charts that year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_in_music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1938_in_music
- cardiffspaceman 2y agoIt was fun to read about this in the North American Numbering Plan documentation.
- physicles 2y agoWhen I worked on Windows Phone during the good ol' days, my team used this for a sort of retail mode assert, for situations that really shouldn't happen. Instantly recognizable. The definition went something like this: // This is a shout out to that 80s hit. You know the one. #define E_JENNY_JENNY_WHO_CAN_I_TURN_TO 0x88675309 The 1 in bit 31 was required to signify that it's a Win32 error code. The other high bits are essentially a namespace, which we used correctly for all our other error codes.
- bankcust08385 2y agoIt's far better than constants like NEVER_USE_OR_MODIFY_OR_YOU_WILL_BE_FIRED that are supposedly for testing only but turn out to be used in production to control whether a beta feature appears or not, and so lead to a bunch of dead code that couldn't really be cleanly disentangled from good production code without someone familiar with it doing a diff review. Wherever my Motorola MPx200 went, it says "Hello."
