But was it appropriate to compare Secrets to Neville Chamberlain?

Naw. Invalid comparison. Does not compute. Rollover error.

Quote:
In C++, when an integer value exceeds the maximum limit of the standard int data type, it results in an overflow. To handle integers larger than what int can accommodate, several options are available:
Use Larger Built-in Integer Types:
long: This type generally provides the same range as int on most modern 64-bit systems, but on some older systems or specific architectures, it might offer a larger range (e.g., 32-bit int and 64-bit long).
long long: This is a standard C++ type guaranteed to be at least 64 bits wide, offering a significantly larger range than int or long. It can store values up to approximately 9 x 10^18.
unsigned versions: For positive-only integers, using unsigned int, unsigned long, or unsigned long long doubles the positive range compared to their signed counterparts.
Use Arbitrary-Precision Arithmetic Libraries (BigInt Libraries):
For integers exceeding the limits of even long long (e.g., numbers with hundreds or thousands of digits), custom implementations or external libraries are necessary. These libraries represent large numbers using data structures like arrays or strings to store individual digits, performing arithmetic operations digit by digit.
Examples of such libraries include ttmath or custom-implemented BigInt classes found on platforms like GitHub.
Consider Floating-Point Types for Large Magnitudes (with caution):
float, double, and long double can represent numbers with very large magnitudes due to their exponent component. However, they lack the precise integer representation of integer types, meaning they can introduce rounding errors when dealing with large integers, especially if the number of significant digits exceeds their precision limits. They are generally not suitable for exact integer arithmetic when precision is paramount.
Chamberlain is more like an int whereas Secrets is more like ttmath.

this whole THJ scandal proves that new server = never.

Daybreak will not allow a new p99 because it takes away from their TLP subs. hope this helps
Dont need another server, just wipe green.
