You're correct about JS numbers. It works like this presumably because the implementation is written in C++ or the like and uses an int32 for this, because "25 days ought to be enough for everyone".
Yes but JS always has backwards compatibility in mind, even if it wasn’t in the spec. Wouldn’t be surprised if more modern implementations still add an arbitrary restriction.
> we have quite a few last minutes left at this point.
C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de 50 étages.
Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute, il se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer:
"Jusqu’ici tout va bien."
"Jusqu’ici tout va bien."
"Jusqu’ici tout va bien..."
Mais l’important c’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage.
Tx'd:
There's this story of a man falling off a 50 floor building. Along his fall the guy repeats to himself in comfort:
"So far, so good"
"So far, so good"
"So far, so good..."
What matters though is not the fall, but the landing.
