Back in almost the end of 2013, I blogged 10 millions Gists in 2014? and my prediction is correct if you don’t check the dates, which is nearly 20 days late.
Gist ID | Original | Actual Creation Date |
---|---|---|
8,000,000 | 2013-12-20 | 2013-12-17T04:24:20Z |
9,000,000 | 2014-02-20 | 2014-02-14T12:11:29Z |
10,000,000 | 2014-04-25 | |
10,000,002 | 2014-04-06T00:48:31Z |
Since the title was only about year, I’d say I did that okay. Now, how about 20 millions? Using the last two data points, I have this equation:
is Unix timestamp and is Gist ID. The prediction for 20 millions Gists:
Gist ID | Timestamp | Date |
---|---|---|
20,000,000 | 1440399436 | 2015-08-24T06:57:16Z |
One thing worth to note, Gist ID in web page URL has been changed to hexadecimal digits in the last few month when I first noticed. But you can still use API with numerical ID to get the data for Gists created before some time around early May. I think after the change, you can only get those with hexadecimal ID.
I tried to find an announcement of such change, but I couldn’t find any.
