A photo of a cake with 8 candles in a row. The first and fifth candle from the right are lit. The caption reads "Happy 17th Birthday"
Heh I've been making my wife do this since my 32nd birthday.
She still doesn't understand binary and thinks I'm a nerd when I try to explain it to her.
Maybe this year, when it's 1+8+32, things will click.
Old man's last words on his 256th birthday: "Unhandled IntegerU8OverflowException, terminating application."
Why do I confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 is the same as Dec 25
33 was a special year for me because it's the same forwards and backwards both in decimal and binary
00100001
Am I being dumb? How ist that the same forward and backwards?
If you drop leading zeros as you would in decimal
1 is asswell :3
If 1 is asswell, then 2 is assgood, and 3 is the beginning of an orgy.
Very optimistic to have an 8th candle
The candles are only available in packs of 8. It's the smallest addressable unit of wax in many cake architectures
Maybe this is a signed cake, so one can celebrate negative birthdays of people who aren't born yet. 🤔
Light all the candles as an announcement that you're gonna start having kids and hope she'll get pregnant in exactly three months. Not in 2, not in 4, but in 3 precisely.
Last birthday party I was at I just wanted a nibble of cake but they told me I had to take one or more bites.
I usually just gather a nibble by picking up a couple crumbs... I'll see myself out.
I'd have a few words with them, kick them right up their rear endian
Although a processor might be nominally capable of accessing a bus of a certain width, it does not mean that all address or data lines need be connected.
I will grow older than 255 because then it will overflow and I become 0 years old.
Who counts from right to left?
Is this image mirrored?
The people saying right to left is normal are either Australian or mirror universe folks.
At least I thought that until I looked up ascii conversations and then just random converters .... How have I forgotten this? The pic is right...
You will be surprised to hear that this is how we read decimal numbers too
Even in decimal, the most-significant digit is to the left. Binary in text form is no exception to this.
Unless we are talking little-endian, which would start with the least-significant bit.
Binary exists in both big-endian and little-endian. In other words, both directions can be valid.
Ya, but we pretty much always write it with most significant on the left. The endianness is more to do with the order transmitted when serialized. Or are there cases where people actually write it backwards?
Binary is always right to left? I've never seen it written left to right at least.
Now that you mention it it is pretty fucky, but in every textbook thats tried to teach me counting in binary its gone from right to left.
It's not. Numbers are arranged (both binary and base 10) with the most significant digit on the left.
Whether you read the number from left to right or right to left is irrelevant and you can choose whichever one you want.
But it is completely consistent with base 10 (normal numbers).
Same here. University told me the lowest bit is on the right, the highest on the left. Never questioned it.
In kindergarten I was taught when reading the number 123, the lowest digit is on the right, and the highest on the left. Never questioned it either.
There are 3 leading "zeros"
Oh, I like this. Nice.
Happy 136th birthday
Little-endian for the win!
