mhoye“Five Guys are zero-indexed” is probably the most trivial technical fact I will learn today.
Sean Gillies@mhoye the five guys, then, are guy zero, guy one, ... guy four?

Kat@sgillies well, I counted and there are six people working here, so I think that technically there’s an off by one error at this location so I’m pretty sure that this means that if I can find an extra apron I’m like two steps away from owning a burger franchise.

Or they are stored as a small positive integer and you overflowed it?

Dreaming of dad jazz.@mhoye Does this mean there are 5 guys or 6?
Jay@michaelcoyote @mhoye still 5, because the 5 in that instance would be the count, not the index (if it was, say, 5th guy, then there would be 6 guys, the 0th guy, the 1st guy, ... , the 5th guy)

khmburying the lead here that there might actually be six guys, with guy zero lurking somewhere unregarded

Wombat For Hire@mhoye A proof-of-concept attack demonstrated by fast food security researchers leverages a lack of bounds checking in the Guys array to recruit customers and possibly food items as additional Guys.
@bosonicvinegar It reads like somebody opened a franchise in Dwarf Fortress.
Andrew@bosonicvinegar @mhoye if you get it just right you can encounter guy #4,294,967,295

@mhoye Does that mean it should really be called Four Guys?

Age in most cultures are zero-indexed. However there're 1-indexed cases like east Asia.

Luna D Dragon@billchenchina @mhoye I've heard about this lol. it terrifies me deeply. also iirc korea has their own age system?
@lunarequest @mhoye
I think it's the same as Chinese's aging system.
Actually in China we don't use this aging system in most cases (like legal), but rural and elderly like to use this.

@billchenchina @mhoye so i looked it up, everyone is one year in the womb. and every new year you get +1 tacked on your age. so your "Korean age" is +1-2 more than the "regular" age. Does China also follow that? or are they different?
@lunarequest @mhoye Almost the same.
One difference here is year += 1 happens on new year (Jan 1) for Korean, but in China, the day is Chinese (Lunar) New Year, which is defined by Chinese calendar.
@lunarequest @mhoye
Wikipedia says Korean age reckoning used to be the same as Chinese age reckoning, but they changed to Jan 1 from 1896.

Did some search, seems China started using the Gregorian calendar from 1912 (Republic of China began on 1 January 1912).

Before 1896:
Considered age 1 at birth, age increased by one year on Chinese New Year's Day (Lunar New Year)
Korea From 1896:
Still considered age 1 at birth, but age increased by one year on January 1st.
China From 1912:
0-index became the official system, age increases by one year on birthday.
Korea From 2023:
0-index became the official system, age increases by one year on birthday.

alpha1beta@mhoye Interesting!
I noticed similar with Wawa.
Wawa's use the machine to determine the first digit. Seems to reset hourly. So like the far left machine will always be 1--, the 2nd will be 2--, etc. Online orders usually start with like 9. They start with 0 too.
