Oh calm down. The clear reason: "Mr Rogan has an exclusive deal with the streaming service [Spotify]" , "several third-party channels have taken it upon themselves to post the episodes" ...its a DMCA takedown, per Joe&

So the ICANN application says they will apply no restrictions to registrants, yet when you try to register they have a requirement that you provide certain content, and by a deadline - is this not in violation of the application? -- https:

Gmail can't know what date format was intended by the sender, so its possible that in an attempt to correctly display your region's format it did just the opposite. Does it usually display dates properly for you? And the ? support

Oops! Thank you, I lost track of the thread while scrolling back up! Please disregard, as I'd love to know what that bug is too

It doesn't need to, its just a backend. Postfix lists 8 webmail options, but you could use any interface you can find. http://www.postfix.org/addon.html#web

And its very doubtful that is all Exchange is doing with it. Likely they have a large list of definitions to compare and track.

We know how it was caused, bottom of reddit post is the update. The developers got clever and used a common method to store a version as an integer, but they never checked that they had enough space to store such a large number for the unco

It can be both. DNS serial numbers are YYYYMMDDnn, and it works just fine for humans, it is easy to convert, more compact, and you can compare in a single operation. Internally, there is no reason for it to be a string.

That's not true, they can be for either humans, computers, or both. Software still has to understand and do something with that version number, even if it came from a human. And if it has to store, sort, or process that number a lot, i

I got what you were saying. That certainly may be case, depending on application. It looks in this case like its just definition files being loaded into memory, and if they need to compare that version more than once, doing it as a single o

I'm curious which languages you learned in CS101 (actual question, not snark) Every non-number, as you put it, is just a number to a computer. Comparing binary is faster than sorting strings, and it makes zero sense to waste memory sim

Sorry, I edited twice (just for confusion hah). I don't think it's that they don't care, I suspect many simply do not understand what is under the hood in the first place; and they don't need to when doing web developmen

That is how they are entered by a human, yes. Then they are converted to binary and processed, like everything else. There is no need to add two version numbers together, but as they only ever increasing, its sane and efficient to store, an

I'll quote myself again, "Oh I agree its a bad long term solution, but assuming they had noticed and used the correct type, 2043 is likely well past the lifetime of the product and would have worked fine till then" I never

That version yes, absolutely. I expect at some point Microsoft will have made enough updates that they will say X version is no longer supported, and it will stop working on its own. And its not like it's a product installed on some em

And that is fine though because at some lower level everything becomes a number to a computer. I think everyone is getting hung up on this string/number difference; data from humans is going to come as a string, thats no reason to stor

Yes, that is what the OP of the thread said, I've read it. Version numbers can be numbers if you want, and plan them to be. Which is the case here, its not a string fit into a 32 bit integer, its actually an integer. But they didn&#x27

Oh I agree its a bad long term solution, but assuming they had noticed and used the correct type, 2043 is likely well past the lifetime of the product and would have worked fine till then. Not great, but certainly passable.

by petee 5y ago
You're right but thats not the issue here, the version is structured as a number but they failed to give it a type large enough to represent it; simply a signed/unsigned screwup.

Anything you do will take 3x the memory, so yes... I cant see why anyone would store as a string internally, you have to decode into a number anyway so just extra work. Strings are only useful to humans. Edit: reading all the comments here,

I suspect they are suggesting a difference between working to contribute as part of the community, versus being solely to further their company's product.

Obviously thats the outcome, but thats not anyone's problem except the developer, and buyers know the price going into their purchase. For example, if I can cram 14 windowless apartments into the same floor, is it really unfair that th

My counter argument would be regulations for new buildings take a long time to be widely applied, I think you would need to judge every single fire on a case by case basis, not region or by period.

by petee 5y ago
There are alot of factors: building codes, materials, age, likely ignition sources . Probably not impossible, but difficult to find a meaningful way to compare. I'm also guessing that fire reporting doesn't include the level of d

I don't think we are talking about modifing existing buildings or small homes, they are talking towers and large units - a lot of places still count jumping out a residential second floor as an exit, so you'd probably be fine.

"Architects and developers", the people with a financial stake in recovering floor space, and sounds like they formed a lobby. Why its in slate is confusing, especially since the article definitely has a pro stance, with little re

The problem is that you can't track how many disasters were prevented by having two means of egress, so I cant imagine there are real statistics on that I hate the space argument because its a money argument, not a real quality of life

Im not sure if I am reading your comment right, but if you're offering a choice of less space or higher survival... I mean, think of all the wasted space and weight having 8 exit doors on a airplane; they don't crash often
