minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 days agoThe joke is binary 10 is 2. Vs base 10 of 10
minus-squareletsgo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoThanks for the explanation! I’ve only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I’m still a bit confused by it.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoNo worries. I have a networking background so I’ll never forget binary. 0 = 000 1 = 001 2 = 010 3 = 011 4 = 100 So 100 / 25 = 100 (4 in binary)
minus-squareletsgo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 days agoHere’s another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 days agoI like that one or 1012=ERROR
minus-squareTheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-24 days agoI think they’re saying that on a binary 1 to 10 scale, the range is only (decimal) 2, so a 10/10 for binary is a 2/2 in decimal (where you can only be a 1/2 or 2/2), which is still the highest value.
minus-squareLandless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 days agoConsidering the artist I think the joke was 2/10 vs 10/10. This isn’t XKCD. Still to each their own. I forwarded this to some network engineer friends and they got a kick out of it.
minus-squareTheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-24 days agoOh, definitely. The intended joke is out of 10 in decimal.
minus-squareLichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·4 days agoThat’s clear. I thought this joke didn’t quite work because of the same reason, too.
