All bases are base 10

[-] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 34 points 1 month ago

Not base 1.

[-] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 month ago

I'm only interested in 3rd base currently.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

So base 4?

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

All bases are belong to us

[-] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 58 points 1 month ago

More important is the scale. On a scale of 10 means it doesn’t matter in what base XD

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So then this would mean a 1 in binary is a decimal 5?

[-] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Depends if the scale runs from 1 to 10 it would be equivalent to a decimal 1, interpretation would be binary: 10 pretty 1 not pretty

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 5 points 1 month ago

Not zero-indexing people's attractiveness SMH. /s

This implies that they are actually "speaking" in text, because over actual speech 10 said in base 10 would be "ten" and 10 said in base 2 would be "one zero", i.e. not ambiguous at all.

[-] python@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

There's no rule saying that you can't pronounce 10 in binary as ten.

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

thank you for giving me a great torture idea for all my IT adjacent friends, from now on i'll be pronouncing all binary as if it were one number (up until i can't be bothered anymore)

"My subnet mask is set to eleven million, one hundred eleven thousand, one hundred eleven dot eleven million, one hundred eleven thousand, one hundred eleven dot eleven million, one hundred eleven thousand, one hundred eleven dot zero"

Hexadecimal 😏

[-] undefinedTruth@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Babe, you are an F.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 21 points 1 month ago

Should've just said "True".

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago

Babe, on a scale of 0x1 to 0x10, I give you a solid A+.

[-] ttyybb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

A+? Would that just be B or does it round down

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

It can be whatever you like

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

On a 100, right?

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

All your base are belong to us

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe he meant IO. She is his input/output.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Robort

[-] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

But on a binary scale this would translate to 11 base 10.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Wut?

10 binary = 2 decimal

10 decimal = 1010 binary

Where are we getting 11?

[-] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

10 is the base (2) overflowed by 1 (zero indexed) which kind of translates to 10+1 base 10 (1 indexed). I didn't really mean in in mathematical but rather nonsensical way. I just wanted to pull 11/10
