Two years ago, my friend passed away. I was looking through some stuff I had to remember him by and I remembered he told me about a series of numbers that he would use for a username (or something like that, I can't remember). He told me it was commonly used with coding. I'm not sure if these were the numbers he was talking about but it's the only thing I could find that might meet the description:
214748364712634721945497071341273145763
I'm not a programmer myself, so I'm asking for some assistance. Does anyone recognize this series or know what it means? Or is it just jibberish?
Oops, I made a mistake and left out a 1. Here's the correct series:
2147483647126347219454970713412731415763
>2147483647
I recognize that as maximum value for a DWORD.
Sorry. Can't help.

interested, bumpin
Like >>57781761 said, "The number 2,147,483,647 the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing. It is therefore the maximum value for variables declared as integers (e.g., as int) in many programming languages"
I thought maybe he concatenated some interesting numbers, so I googled 126347219454970713412731415763, then took a number away from the end each time. Found nothing of interest, though.

Yeah, as soon as I saw 2147 I was thinking MAXINT.
Some languages have something like OP's number as their MAXINT because they're using some internal format for BIGINTs which is made from repeated doubles to store ranges of the digit string. I think it's a pretty weird way to do it but I've come across it in commercial DB development.
The number ends in 63, which would be the maximum value of a signed 7-bit (or unsigned 6-bit) number. It is also the number of sectors on a track in traditional CHS logical disk addressing. Not that these probably matter at all.

why the fuck do you care about your dead friends thought process for making a username, serious question
>>57787052
To try and get into his porn collection?

Maybe he want to access the Google Drive account where his friend kept his nudes so he can jack of to his friends cock because he's a closet homo.
