Damn, 29 points (as of me posting this) just for saying thanks. You're some kind of karma magnet or something.
Okay, now reply "thanks" to my reply and let's see how many you get ;)

He's catching up to the bug fixer guy...
Next milestone: 32,768?
Yeah, but then you fall off the leader board, because your score is -1. :P
I think you mean -32768.
If it rolls over due to 2s complement then it'll be -32768.
What the -1 comment is refering to is a casting problem. Or int into byte, etc. Versus unsigned to signed.

Oh, duh. Brainfart. -1 would be 11111111 not 10000000.
While I doubt that HN's scoring would suffer from signedness bugs, if it did, getting your score down/up to -1 would be the ultimate. It would be an interesting easter egg to build into the system, tho :)

It shouldn't do that; AFAIK it's using PLT Scheme's numeric stack.
Chuckle I had originally posted 32,767; but I figured getting to 32768 should really be the milestone.
I don't want one of my only sources of news to break :(
Congrats and thanks for the contributions!
Congrats indeed. Tons of great submissions = well-deserved.
Congrats Nickb - his stuff is good. Does he have a bio?
Thank you and please reveal yourself now :)
Hah! My identity is not actually secret at all :) But you're right, I'll put up a link to my bio/blog soon enough.
pg congratulates pseudonym nickb [http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=152388]? I wonder what the number of upvotes for this means...
Nevertheless, 20k certainly represents a valuable contribution.
