Meh, anyone who's coding for this platform must have put those id's in a unsigned integer, wouldn't they?

- tjogin 17y agoIt's such a low barrier of entry and almost non-existant learning curve to code for Twitter, so I expect quite a lot of services to have made that mistake. Not the big ones, though.
- patio11 17y agoI suspect for a lot of people coding against Twitter the notion of integers being signed or unsigned is about as foreign to their experience as pointer arithmetic. I do not consider that a bad thing. irb > "2,147,483,647".gsub(",","").to_i + 1 2147483648 (Forgive the extra code necessary to strip out the commas. The Windows irb console leaves a little to be desired in terms of midline editing.)
- there 17y agoyou know ruby supports _ as a comma separator, right? irb(main):002:0> 2_147_483_647 + 1 => 2147483648
