Base 10

2 days ago 160.7K views 0 shares

The classic number base paradox strikes again! The alien sees 10 rocks and says "10 rocks" in base 4 (which equals 4 in decimal). The astronaut assumes base 10 and gets confused. But here's the kicker: no matter what base you're using, you always represent it as "base 10" in that base . In base 4, the number 4 is written as "10". In base 16 (hex), the number 16 is written as "10". In binary, the number 2 is written as "10". Every civilization thinks they're using "base 10" because that's literally how you write the base number in that base. It's like asking "What is base 4?" and the answer is always "base 10" from that base's perspective. The real galaxy brain moment: when you realize that if aliens showed up and said they use "base 10", we'd have absolutely no idea what they actually mean without seeing them count first. Could be binary for all we know.

Weather App Went Low Level

When climate change gets so catastrophic that your weather app just gives up on human-readable formats and starts outputting raw binary. "Screw it, you figure it out," says the API. The temperature readings are literally 1° and 0° alternating like some kind of Boolean fever dream. It's not Celsius, it's not Fahrenheit—it's straight-up true and false weather. Your weather app just downgraded from a high-level API to assembly language because apparently the climate situation is now so dire it needs to be expressed in the most fundamental data type possible. Next update: weather forecasts delivered in machine code. "Partly cloudy" will be 0x4A3F2B .

Ternary Digit Conundrum

Programming Algorithms Math

21 days ago 291.1K views 0 shares

Someone discovered the perfect naming convention and honestly, it's both genius and absolutely cursed. Binary digit → bit. Makes sense. Ternary digit → tit. Wait, hold on— The logic is flawless. Base-2 (binary) starts with 'b', add 'it', you get 'bit'. Base-3 (ternary) starts with 't', add 'it', you get... well, a term that's gonna make every code review extremely uncomfortable. Imagine explaining to your manager why your ternary computing documentation keeps getting flagged by HR. Fun fact: The actual term is "trit" (trinary digit), but where's the fun in being technically correct when you can watch Gru's face perfectly capture the exact moment this realization hits? Ternary computing is real though—it uses three states (0, 1, 2) instead of binary's two, and some Soviet computers actually used it. They probably had very interesting technical documentation.

Gb Vs GiB

Marketing teams out here selling you a "1TB" hard drive like they're doing you a favor, meanwhile your computer opens it and goes "lol bestie that's actually 931 GiB." The betrayal is REAL. Decimal (GB) vs binary (GiB) units is the tech industry's longest running scam and nobody talks about it enough! For context: GB uses base-10 (1000), while GiB uses base-2 (1024). So 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, but 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Hard drive manufacturers love using GB because bigger numbers = better sales, but your OS speaks fluent GiB. It's like ordering a footlong sub and getting 11.5 inches. Technically legal, morally questionable. The top panel showing 1000, 500, 250 is GB trying to flex with its clean decimal system, while the bottom panel's 256, 512, 1024 is GiB sitting there in its fancy binary powers looking absolutely SUPERIOR. The computer nerds know what's up. 🎩

There Are Only 10 Types Of People In The World

Normies see a guy holding up two fingers asking for three beers. Programmers see a genius using binary to order exactly the right amount. In binary, 10 = 2 in decimal, but the guy says "THREE beers" because that's how many nerds showed up to the bar. The bartender's probably thinking, "Great, another group that's going to discuss Big O notation over IPAs." The real tragedy? They'll spend the entire night arguing whether arrays should start at 0 or 1.

Normal Vs. Quantum Computers: The Ultimate Drama Queens

OMG, the AUDACITY of quantum computers! While regular computers are over here living their best binary lives with clear "yes" or "no" answers like some kind of digital SAINTS, quantum computers are that one friend who responds to your party invite with "Well yes, but actually no." 🙄 Quantum superposition is LITERALLY the most dramatic thing in computing - existing in multiple states AT THE SAME TIME because picking ONE state would be too mainstream. Like, honey, just make a decision already! The rest of us have code to compile!

Stop Using Floats

The floating-point rebellion we never knew we needed! This is basically every numerical computation specialist screaming into the void about IEEE 754's dark secrets. That beautiful moment when 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3 and your financial calculations are suddenly off by millions. The binary representation at the bottom is the computer's way of saying "I'm doing my best with the bits you gave me!" And that ternary operator nightmare at the end? Pure assembly-level wizardry that makes checking if a float is valid look like someone had a seizure on the keyboard. No wonder embedded systems developers have trust issues. Meanwhile, integer purists sit in the corner smugly whispering "I told you so" while clutching their fixed-point implementations.

The Dependency Villain

That villainous grin you see? That's the face of a developer who's about to "modernize" a critical library by replacing simple binary operations with 17 layers of abstraction, five design patterns, and a dependency on three blockchain networks. The best part? Your entire codebase relies on this library, and the migration guide is just a README that says "should be backward compatible" followed by a winky face emoji. The horror isn't that they're reinventing the wheel—it's that they're replacing it with a quantum-levitating hovercraft that requires a PhD to operate and crashes if Mercury is in retrograde.

The Local Bus That Broke The Internet

When your IPv4 address gets tired of being just 4 bytes and decides to become a bus route number. That's not a destination—that's a full TCP handshake with room for cookies! Somewhere, a network admin is frantically checking if someone accidentally routed the entire internet to Sweden. The driver probably needs GPS just to remember where this monstrosity is supposed to go.

One Is True

GASP! The AUDACITY of computers to just sit there and declare that the number 1 is TRUE! The sheer DRAMA of Boolean logic! 🤯 For the uninitiated souls, in programming, the number 1 is literally interpreted as TRUE while 0 is FALSE. So when a computer sees a 1, it's basically having an existential crisis screaming "HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE!" Meanwhile, programmers are just trying to check if a checkbox is clicked. THE THEATRICS!

OMG THE BETRAYAL! 😱 The number 0 is sitting there, all smug with its little face, thinking it's special because it's a placeholder. Then BAM! 💥 The computer and number 1 team up to form the ULTIMATE POWER COUPLE - binary code! That's right, sweetie, computers only need 0s and 1s to run THE ENTIRE DIGITAL UNIVERSE while the rest of us peasants are over here counting to 10 like absolute CAVEMEN. The audacity of these two to flaunt their relationship status while the rest of the number system is left in the dust. I. CANNOT. EVEN. 🙄
