32-bit integer overflows

Not again!

Not again!

You are sooooooo cool

Numeric overflows.

Tut, tut. Schoolboy error. Crap programming in a crap language.

There's no other excuse.

You've an I/O bound system, not processor bound. Code more defensively, and less for speed. And in future, do proper analysis before making assumptions.


HTH

Did not expect (2 years ago when it was coded) that we'd have URLs with more than 2 billion backlinks in our index - we've got 12 now out of a trillion+

We CPU bound at the moment actually. Not for long - you'll have to wait for relevant SKA News in due course to know more

Fail fast.

A defensive coding option always bottles up the problems.

Aha! There's your problem. Americanisms.

You know I have been banging on about your spelling of "centre" all week? Well, now you've gone and fallen over because you've used nasty American billions.

If you'd been using proper British billions, you'd be able to handle loads more backlinks.


Hang on, 2 thousand million? Not 4 thousand million? You're not using signed integers, are you? Do many URLs have a negative number of backlinks?

Gotta respect ya, sitting there giving it on a Sunday. When you're rich, nobody will be able to say you didn't earn it.

(Except those people who think you need to get an email confirmation of permission from every webmaster on the planet... )

ta mate.

Some more work to workaround the bug and then drinks later - well earned today for sure
