Might as well play it safe and make it a 16-bit integer on the off chance the world doesn't end and we quadruple our life expectancy
Emperor Leto Atreides II deserves to Fly American™ just as much as the rest of us
We haven’t learned our lesson about Unix time overflow yet, have we? Better up it to 64 bit signed, just to be sure.
Make that bad boy unsigned, just to be safe!
BigNumber is the solution.
Meanwhile in America: your baby isn't covered by Medicaid because it isn't born yet.
I see you are talking about babies. Please check 1 before proceeding further
[] Birth is forced by state
[] Birth is wanted.
You may have received a birth certificate, but we do not recognize your status of birthed.
This is outrageous. This is unfair.
Do airlines typically handle 1 year olds flying alone? That seems nuts.
We fixed this 124 years ago...
Worse is that this is basically just the Y2K problem…that they somehow never addressed.
That's what they just said. It should have been fixed 124 years ago.
They kludged it, probably only store 2 digits and if its lower than current year, assume 2000s, otherwise assume 1900s.
Ah, the “Windows 9” problem.
Math is hard
Is it really that hard to lie about your age
TSA will send you back to the ticket gate if your ID doesn't match booking details.
On a plane? The details you enter have to match your ID.
She's 101. Fuck no would I lie about my age if I was 101. I'd brag about it.
"All those bullies back in high school? Fuck you, I outlived every last one of you assholes!"
I had to fight an annoying bug like this in our companys frontend code once. That specific country's pretty-date settings insisted on returning only the last two digits of a year, and the UI framework's date input field read it like that before parsing it back to a date.
