13·1 year agoYeah but you’re going to be forever going “tango uniform tango alpha” to everyone on the phone. At least people know how to spell gmail.
Why’s he striking a match? It’s obviously not for the bbq, and it’s not for the cigar either cos he could light that on the bbq.
Here’s another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10
Thanks for the explanation! I’ve only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I’m still a bit confused by it.
There are 10 types of people in the world: those that understand n-ary, those that confuse it with (n-1)-ary, those that confuse it with (n-2)-ary, …, those that confuse it with ternary, those that confuse it with binary, and those that don’t understand it at all.
You’re not overthinking it at all and have hit upon an important point. The problem with “ten” is that it’s too easily confused with 1010_2 or 0x0A_16. One-zero base 2 is unambiguous. Also one, ten, eleven etc would get very unwieldy very quickly, and as it already gets unwieldy very quickly even when just quoting digits, that’s why we have hex and octal.
Both work because the scale is 1-10. Binary just has fewer intermediate steps. Nobody is a binary 7.
Depends how far you go back. The top half is pretty representative of the professional dev team I was in in 1992.
Same way you did it in 2024 but it’s easier because the springgirdles have been replaced with rotated manglebrackets.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startupEnglish
1·1 year agoTrue, but whenever Windows is having a mini-meltdown the NMI from the three finger salute is often enough to jar it out of its fixation. Plus my computer has learnt that if I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del 30 times the next time is the big red switch.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•"1.32 MB" Is that pronounced, "one-point-three-two" megabytes, or "one-point-thirty-two" megabytes?English
17·1 year agoDecimals are usually spelt out a digit at a time. 3.14159 would be three point one four one five nine, not three point fourteen thousand one hundred and fifty nine. 37.32 would be thirty-seven point three two. If it’s not a decimal but something like a version string then you could say v3.14 is version three point fourteen, and three point one four might be confused with 3.1.4 even though you didn’t say the second point. IP addresses are a bit mixed; I’d say ten ten, but also one nine two dot one six eight.

In fact why not just call it the America shell? Heck, why not drop all words and say USA instead? The bash shell is now known as “usa usa usa”. Hey, here’s an idea, let’s just replace all words with usa! Usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa. Usa usa? Usa, usa usa.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the lowest quality product you’ve ever purchased?English
4·1 year agoJust about anything by Betterware. The one that sticks in my mind was the non-stick stick-on hook that lasted for all of a minute before falling off under its own weight. I ended up second guessing how the thing they were selling could possibly go wrong, and if I could think of something then I wouldn’t get it.
There is one Betterware item that’s lasted the years though. A hair trap for the sink. It’s a metal disk with holes punched in it. Hard for that not to work, really.
Also, increasingly, tat off Scamazon.
