In-reply-to » Eehhh, what the hell is going on here!?

Disclaimer: Can’t guarantee that I’m fully awake and I’m being trained at work not to use my brain anymore, so maybe this is complete bullshit. 😪🧟‍♀️

It says here that SQLite uses signed integers:

https://sqlite.org/datatype3.html

In pure bits, 1 << 63 would be 0x8000000000000000, but as a signed value, it gets interpreted as -9223372036854775808. Subtracting 1 yields -9223372036854775809 – but that doesn’t fit in 64 bits anymore. It’s possible that SQLite doesn’t want to wrap around but instead saturates? Haven’t checked. 🤔

With 62 bits, there is enough room.

With 1 << 64, I have no idea how SQLite wants to handle this, because this should immediately trigger a warning, because it doesn’t fit right away. Maybe it gets truncated to 0?

sqlite> select printf('0x%x', 2 * (1 << 64));

Eehhh, what the hell is going on here!?

SELECT
    printf("0x%x", (1 << 63) - 2),
    printf("0x%x", (1 << 63) - 1),
    printf("0x%x",  1 << 63     ),
    printf("0x%x", (1 << 63) + 1),
    printf("0x%x", (1 << 63) + 2)

SQLite yields:

0x8000000000000000 (instead of 0x7ffffffffffffffe)
0x8000000000000000 (instead of 0x7fffffffffffffff)
0x8000000000000000 (correct)
0x8000000000000001 (correct)
0x8000000000000002 (correct)

Huh!? O_o Am I stupid? What am I missing here? Or is this actually a bug? :-?

With 62 bits, everything is spot on:

0x3ffffffffffffffe
0x3fffffffffffffff
0x4000000000000000
0x4000000000000001
0x4000000000000002

And 64 bits rather unsurprisingly also yield:

0xfffffffffffffffe
0xffffffffffffffff
0x0
0x1
0x2

Why It Is Difficult To Resize Windows on MacOS 26
The dramatically larger corner radius Apple introduced in macOS 26 Tahoe has pushed the invisible resize hit target for windows mostly outside the window itself – roughly 75% of the 19Ö19 pixel clickable area now lies beyond the visible boundary. In previous macOS versions, about 62% of that resize target would fall inside the window corner.

Keď prví Slováci prišli do Petrovca, už jestvovala z pravej strany Begeja osada srbský Petrovec. Begej, keď občas lenivo tiekol, smeroval ku dnešnej Kanálskej ulici. Na túto riečku dbali aj starí inžinieri počas kopania „starého” kanála. Popod budúci kanál vykopali najprv tunel a obmurovali ho tehlami, aby si Begej mohol aj ďalej nerušene tiecť ku Jegričke, (malá riečka, ktorá svoju 62 kilometrovú púť začína pri Pivnici, slovensko - srbskej osade v Báčke a vlieva sa do Tisy).
