Recent comments bug? July 6, 2009 12:12 AM Subscribe
There may be a bug on the recent comments page.
Upon making what I thought was the thousandth comment in the Sarah Palin thread, I noticed after posting that I was about four comments too early according to the comment count in the thread and on the front page -- but I was #1000 according to the recent comments page.
The recent comments page says there are currently 1010 comments; the count in the thread itself says 1006. Any reason for the discrepancy? Deleted comments throwing off the number of comments, for example?

Those four comments are mavericks who refuse to stand still long enough to be counted.

Probably a difference of including vs. excluding deleted comments in the SQL statement pulling the count, yeah. We should fix that.

Something I like about this site is how incendiary it can get in so short a time
Are you calling me an arsonist? Because I'm not. And if you are, I'll take offense and burn your fucking house down. And I'll do it right now!

10 fingers + 10 toes x 5 mods = 100. Anything over 100 is bound to get sketchy.

I heard it was (10 fingers + 10 toes) x 1 mod + (9 fingers + 10 toes) x 2 mods + (8 fingers + 10 toes) x 1 mod + (10 fingers + 13 toes) x 1 mod.

Unless they count in binary, then they could go up to 5,202,875. Which is kind of sketchy, now that I think about it.

If you vicious ratbastards have nothing better to do than beat up on poor heyho just because (s)he has a TV, then why don't you just go cut off your collective right hand already?

Dr-Baa, I'm not sure how you arrived at that number, but it's wrong.

Hmmm.... I took the fingers & toes counting in binary number of 1040575 and multiplied by 5. Typing this out, I think I realize where I erred.

Yeah, that should be (220 x 5) -1 and not (220-1) x 5.
Which is 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,375. Or "a lot".
