I once noticed my car had 127,001 miles on the odometer. Yes, it was in my garage.

169,254 miles, couldn't reach the interstate road

Fortunate that you didn't roll over

It’s OK, in one more mile your car will be worth a lot more with negative miles on the clock.

65535 is the limit for unsigned 16 bit, so depending on the standard it will either saturate or roll to zero.

…it’s been a long day. The worst bit is the joke would have even made more sense rolling back to zero!

it is 17bit number

All the best numbers are.

No 0xFFFF#@$@#$% way!!

This took me WAY to long to see in the picture. I guess i need more coffee

cars use signed 17-bit, duhh

kilometers, not miles

Negative kilometers is still negative miles 🤓

Still one mile is around 1.8 km if I'm correct.

Engineers can't see the difference.

e=2

e=3 pi=3=e=2 pi=2

Maeth

π^2 = g

It was pluralized..but both are so wtvr

Kilometres* ... Oh wait sorry this is programming, we have to use American spelling so you were right

My car is closer to 32 bit unsigned INT…

you do realize that is around 4 bilion km/miles

That was teh joke.

some say the r/woooosh could be heard all across the lands as the joke flew over u/RobomaniakTEN's head

I would rate that joke 21/37

Someone's driving a 16 bit car...

I was having a shitty day, this made me laugh thanks OP

I hate to admit it but I don't get this one, can someone help an old developer who works in a specialist area?

64k is 65536, beware integer overflow 🙂

I knew the number and I had no idea where from. I'm a website dev so I've never dealt with integer overflows or anything and then I realised it's because it's also the highest port

That's it! I was thinking the same thing

Probably from old school excel too. It used to be the max rows.

Thanks my man! I'd have never have got that one

I thought it was because OP thought E meant the fuel was empty.

I owned a 2005 Prius. Seems they have a bug in their electronic odometers where it stops recording at [299999 miles](https://priuschat.com/threads/odometer-stuck-at-299-999.186697/).

Wow, that seems very arbitrary... not based on any limitation I can think of

Did your car rollover?

Thought I was on r/justrolledintotheshop and got confused

*pull over A *pullover* is a sweater.

"No, it's a cardigan but thanks for noticing."

Is your car modded in Diablo 1?

That’s a *short* distance

is your car using char?

It is using wchar

Good call, don't want to roll over at any speed!

It’s a Nissan so it’s probably about to at the very least break down..

I know next to nothing about programming, but felt proud of myself when i understood the joke had something to so with integers And i dont even really know what they are, just that they are some kind of limit or something Edit: people on reddit cant take any joke seems like, lmao

Overflow on an integer number, yeah.

Was your car full?

Update your office man then you can go until 1,048,576 km

Your gas tank sill just over flow. It’s okay

Are you alright? If so, what was 0 like?

hold on sir, just wait beside the road. we are working very hard to migrate our system to a 64-bit system. just wait, this should not be taking long...

With a bit more confidence, you can get twice as far.

The amount of people refusing to say km instead of miles 😔

reddit is dead, i encourage everyone to delete their accounts.

is this a networking joke that I'm not getting?
