| 00:04.10 | ZorbaGama | seebs, hrm, that's kind of annoying. yeah, that's the reason why I use hex strings for everything |
| 00:04.18 | ZorbaGama | the auction system was developed before addons were really a thing |

| 11:50.10 | Ivnedar_ | whoops at boeing 787 bug |
| 11:56.36 | Noshei | Ivnedar_: that overflow will get you everytime! |
| 12:26.51 | Ivnedar_ | I'm surprised the power systems stay up for that long without a reboot |
| 12:27.15 | Ivnedar_ | I would have thought a power cycle was part of standard maint |
| 14:12.07 | ZorbaGama | one potential issue in the rift codebase is that it stores time as "seconds since startup", in a 32-bit float. which means the precision drops gradually the longer you're logged on |
| 14:12.25 | ZorbaGama | this is worrying but in our case we can live with it because rebooting fixes it, and we patch servers every week anyway |
| 14:12.34 | ZorbaGama | I would not be living with it if I was writing an airplane control system :P |
| 14:31.08 | Ivnedar_ | I'm wondering how often planes are actually serviced now |
| 14:32.47 | Ivnedar_ | Maybe the power system is only rebooted if there are reports of issues with it, otherwise it's left alone |
| 17:17.50 | seebs | Yeah. |
| 17:17.52 | seebs | You have (to a much smaller extent) a similar issue with distances and coordinates. |
| 17:18.11 | seebs | So if you ever make really really huge maps... |
| 17:18.13 | seebs | Side note: Last I checked, there is no way at all in the API to determine the distance between two entities. |
| 17:18.31 | seebs | You can determine the distance that would be between them if they happened to be in the same space, but you can't tell whether they're in the same space or not. |
| 17:18.49 | seebs | There's no way I can find to reliably distinguish different instantiations of a single coordinate space, and there's no way to tell whether two zones share a coordinate space. |
| 17:18.51 | seebs | I note, the client can do it, so there must be a way, but the API doesn't seem to expose it. |
| 17:22.07 | seebs | Well, none of them actually fell out of the sky from that one, so presumably often enough. |

| 21:02.22 | ZorbaGama | yeah, I believe you're correct. although I don't think you get coordinates for something unless you're in the same space as it |
