For anyone who doesn’t want to do the conversion, that’s 17 days.
It also has a max of 31 days possible. Which has… implications.
Among many other duties I manage the safety and claims database for an outsourced industrial cleaning company and let me tell you, some of the plants my company works struggle to make it a week without an accident, meanwhile some will go years without an accident. We also have one plant which had its last accident during the Bush Administration. Its absolutely wild how much safety can vary from one industrial facility to another
🤔 … What implications? ಠ_ಠ
They must sacrifice an undergrad on the 32nd day
This is actually how chromatography works. The mobile phase is 0.1% formic acid and 0.3% blood of the innocent.
blood of the innocent
Well, We work with what we have.
Or 11 in hexadecimal
B is 11 in hex though?
-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)
It bothers me it’s not in 4 bit “bytes” even though I know it’s just a convention for computers
The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites
Ugh jeez… right. I literally always mess that up
A byte is eight bits.
Yes. I am dumb.
You can do all of math in binary, it isn’t just for computers. In fact, the proof for “Russian Peasant Multiplication” was written in binary.
So you can do all mathematical operations in binary, but you can’t represent all numbers in binary like 0.3, which is a repeating number, and had the same issues as a number like 1/3 in decimal where you can’t avoid rounding errors
It’s worth noting that 1/3 is also a repeating number in binary. 0.01010101…
While 0.3 is in binary 0.0100110011001100…
I’m not sure what sort of point you think you’re making but 0.0100110011 in binary is only 0.065% off from 0.3, but how often would you organically encounter 0.3?
Many fractions in decimal are also repeating numbers or very long trailing numbers, I especially encounter a lot when working with time which is base 60.
I love the leak in the other room. Get ready to reset the counter folks!
It’s telling that their counter only goes up to a month
I totally got that without the text bubble.
