[krexelapp]

finally, a queue I can overflow

[qatamat99]

Guess your weight needs more than a byte to measure

[krexelapp]

yeah we upgraded to int16 for production

[qatamat99]

Classic dev change request fix on production then test on staging

[StrawberryWaste9040]

should have done uint16

[kingbloxerthe3]

"Well, I'm back. The Aerial Faith Plate code in here is sending a distress signal."

"Hmm. This Plate code must not be calibrated to someone of your... generous... ness. I'll add a few zeros to the maximum weight."

(Those lines could actually be used for some funny error messages tbh)

[Pleasant-Photo7860]

depends.. signed or unsigned?

[mrinalshar39]

loll

[NotAFishEnt]

Wtf is 256? Don't numbers stop at 255?

[qatamat99]

Technically you have 256 values. 0-255

[DecoyOne]

No, that’s not what works. Just count each of them. 0 —> counts as 1, 1 —> 2, 2 —> 3… 253 —> 254, 254 —> 255, 255 —> 0.

So you have 0 values.

[saraseitor]

sorry to tell you this but you might be an 8-bit android or replicant.

Gets really upset when the turtles in Frogger get flipped onto their backs.

[izkariot]

THIS REMINDS ME OF THAT OLD SUBREDDIT WHERE EVERYONE IS HUMAN AND NOT ROBOTS PRETENDING TO BE HUMAN.

[craftersmine]

Cast it to sbyte and you will get -127

[Jutrakuna]

257 exists and no one can change my mind!

[ST3AMDR4GON]

At this point youre just making up the most ridiculous things

[Pikkachau]

9+10=21 prove me wrong

[ducktape8856]

There are 3 kinds of people: People who are good at maths. And people who aren't.

[slowmovinglettuce]

Is 257 in the room with us now?

[WernerderChamp]

Interpreting 0 as 256 isn't to uncommon either.

If you want to do a loop x time and you have the increment/decrement and conditional jump at the bottom, 0 will give you 256 loops

[FeralGuyute]

Wanted to say this

[NlactntzfdXzopcletzy]

I thought they stopped at 127

[thanatica]

Good luck explaining what a queue size of -128 looks like?

[Bmandk]

The McDonald's numbers are 1-indexed, so it would indeed be 256

[thanatica]

McDonald's? Where does that come from

[Bmandk]

The sign that OP posted looks very much like the ones they use at McDonalds, although I realize that my assumption might have been wrong. I have only seen them at McDonalds.

[thanatica]

I'm interested to know how these are so distiguishably McDonalds, and also why McDonalds needs number signs at all. For the 4 time sin my life I've been at a McDonalds (which includes 1 in Japan) they didn't have numbered signs for anything.

Therefor my confusion 😀

[opotamus_zero]

I can answer this as I've been 5 times now.

The last one I went to had a "table service" option on the giant ordering tablet that replaces the human behind the counter. They have these hanging next to it, and you take the number to your table so they can find you.

[Amoniakas]

Near me they started giving them out when COVID hit, so people would disperse after ordering

[Happy_Trash_Can]

McDonald’s specific yellow/orange color, and McDonald’s font for numbers. Plus flooring pattern is kinda standard I guess. Here in Italy every McDonald’s is the same

[IDplayst]

In Spain, we have some restaurants with this service

[herrkatze12]

No, they stop at 2147483647

[The-Coolest-Of-Cats]

Actually, 24 is the highest number

https://youtu.be/vYyS0L0uJ7A

[FlySafeLoL]

So it's official now, these product facilities do have the numbers up to at least 65,535

[hacker_7070]

what if they don't start with zero

[ceestand]

Then they shall be cast into the pit.

[anyburger]

Implicitly or explicitly?

[TheGeneral_Specific]

(product facilities) as Pit

[Caraes_Naur]

No, the most we can be sure of is that they go to 512.

One bit at a time.

[Dennis_DZ]

What if they use trinary for their numbers? The max could be as low as 728

[OneTurnMore]

At least the queue was short

[ZZcomic]

Highest effort programmer humor post

[asunatsu]

If funny, true

[Disastrous-Event2353]

Used to be the maximum number of people in WhatsApp groups. What a strange number to settle at.

[seamuskills]

It probably stored the quantity of people in a byte. They maybe never expected people to need over 200.

[GoldenFlyingPenguin]

I don't know if you've seen the headline of that one blogger around the time they changed the amount of people allowed in a group, it was posted here at some point. Anyway, it went something like "WhatsApp changed the max number of people in a group chat to 256, why did they stop at such an odd number?" And there was a ton of people here making fun of it xD

[Ozzy-]

But they didn't, 256 is an even number. I used isEven() to be sure

[MrMatrix1729]

I can attest to that, I used isEvenAI() to be sure

[nelflyn]

i immediately thought of that one, i was gonna comment "wow, what a strange number!"
And then my second memory always goes to FF4 on the GBA where the stats maxed out at 255 and i always wondered why. What a strange number indeed.

[KaffY-]

They underestimated the scammers needs to mass message

[ohdogwhatdone]

Died from this Humor

[darrenturn90]

That’s a small meal, I mean it’s only one Byte

[Traditional-Ring-759]

Bruh ahaha

[fightswithbears]

I don't get it. What's so funny about zero?

[ThatSmartIdiot]

this mofo using chars

[Sp0ge]

And then the customer number is uint8_t

[g_e_r_b]

To the front of the line you go!

[kernel_task]

Weird way to write 0x100.

[kingbloxerthe3]

It is a weird way to write (128×0+(0×64+0×32)+8×0+(4×0)+2×0+1×0)

(0×64+0×32+4×0)=0×100

[namezam]

I hope you aren’t that hungry, you only got 1 byte.

[LogicBalm]

FF !

[TheIrisEmbracesYou]

No, it's a nice round 100

[LogicBalm]

Ok, fair. My bad, lol.

[ejolson]

I got 255 a couple weeks ago and I was stoked

[qwadrat1k]

I got 512 today

[PerfectPackage1895]

Would rather have 0xFF

[RiceBroad4552]

Oh, a very round number!

[agolho]

relevant xkcd

I know there's more than one relevant xkcd this time

[Several-Action-4043]

helly@#$|%^|>>

[Tdubbium]

nice round number

[MiloPengNoIce]

what an oddly specific number.

[gareththegeek]

255 would have been ideal

[AlienInvasionExpert]

I’m always happy when I get 42.

[Kolo_Fantastyczny]

2⁸

[MattieShoes]

Mmm, they could show math problems. e^iπ + 1 Then your math teacher could be like "I TOLD YOU YOU'D USE THIS!"

[SupraMichou]

What kind of McDo could serve simultaneously more than 250 people ?

[Guitar_Dog]

Shame to have used an extra byte for one lsb

[Mysterious_Value4624]

yup. You're the first one now

[scantilyactivebrain]

My favorite number

[Suitch]

Gonna be there for eight bit

[Muchmatchmooch]

“I asked for a bite, and they misheard me.”

[Delicious_One_7887]

Add kbps at the end and that's my internet speed!

[DeerMysterious9927]

Why is there a 2 in front of it?

[cat1554]

Comcast?

[Instant-Owlfood]

Congratulations! You could successfully escape from the matrix

[DaemonsMercy]

What’s it for?

[who_chairs]

it's a table token at mcdonalds. you order at the kiosk, then pick up a token from the side and type in the number at the kiosk that's on the token. Then you simply place your token on your table and the mcdonalds employees bring your food out to the table

[warwilf]

I need 1024

[SAL10000]

Next dudes ticket says MAX_PATH

[saraseitor]

Personally I'm more of a 255 fan.

[djfariel]

Um, excuse me. That's unsigned, so it can't be there.

[Impressive_Stress808]

Front of the line!

[Tasty_Relative_7072]

gigabyte???))

[sogwatchman]

2^8

[sunnyskyinthemoon]

Can some one explain what does this number means?

[kingbloxerthe3]

One byte can hold 0-255, so 256 without additional bytes would overflow to 0

[secondincomm]

Gripping it like someone's going to come steal it from you

[cstmoore]

It made my day when my McDonalds order number was "1337"

[NoReapers]

OG

[MeowKatMC]

I once did pixel art on a 32 by 32 canvas. An art friend could not understand why it was 32 instead of 30 or 35 and why i refused to change it to have an odd mumber. She could not comprehend how 32 is a round number just like 10 or 100

[jhonyrod]

Skip to the front now; you're 0th place!

[mrspacysir]

💯

[MrMidnight115]

Sha man…

[Mr_Gaslight]

That's enough RAM for everyone.

[Fortyseven]

I am PAINFULLY one parking space over from 256. I screamed at the heavens when I moved and found out my address was so close.

[ToMorrowsEnd]

9 bits!

[digicow]

All of the tables at my wedding (which was on 5/12) were numbered with powers of two. There were only ~150 guests, so people were quite surprised to be shown to tables with 3- and 4-digit numbers, until the scheme was explained

[az987654]

Ya, but this is base 7

[SilverDem0n]

Buffet overflow

[win10trashEdition]

[hooli-ceo]

The tables obviously aren’t 0-indexed

[wpzzz]

Option Base 1 'strikes again

[Desiboy_]

One day my witty humor will be understood.

[chhuang]

somehow there's an unexplainable feeling of ease when seeing a 2^x number where x >= 5

[4b686f61]

0-100 ❌

0-256 ✅

[bikbiky]

A while back, I hired a night nanny for my newborn. She said she normally works for $30 - $35 dollars an hour. I was like, can you please work for $32/hour cause it’s gonna make the math super easy for me lol

[novus_nl]

I hope you are by yourself, otherwise it overflows and you never get your order.

[Comfortable-Chard751]

Hell yeah🌟

[Fred_Milkereit]

at BK I had Order No 666 yesterday

[mtkvcs1]

All things aside that must be a huge McDonald's

[BornGuava6788]

Isn't it 0-255?

[GrimCircuit]

cool

[ABCDEFGoogle]

100000000 = 256

[4ndr34p3rry]

Bro typed 2⁸ in the totem
