GoKawiilShow HN project catalogs software bugs tied to numeric limits, starting with YouTube's 2014 counter
A new Show HN submission, 'Museum of Numbers,' documents cases where software hit hard-coded numeric limits, opening with the story of PSY's 'Gangnam Style' nearing 2,147,483,647 views on YouTube in December 2014. YouTube had already quietly upgraded its 32-bit view counter months earlier, but publicly framed the moment as a comedic near-miss with a spinning-digit Easter egg.
