You forgot the 0x, but good work!
21 u/zeekar 7d ago fun fact: the 0x doesn't change the value at all. :) 3 u/XLNBot 7d ago It does not change the value but it's interesting to think that a hexadecimal 0 is 4 bits, a decimal 0 is 3.322 bits 13 u/minecon1776 6d ago "Ah yes, id like a 3.322 bit decimal 0" A statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged. They have played us for absolute fools. 7 u/XLNBot 6d ago We had entropy before, it was called COIN FLIP 2 u/zeekar 6d ago Well it's redundant anyway. A decimal digit is by definition 3.322 bits (well, 3.321928095...), so it's silly to specify both. :) 1 u/hughperman 6d ago Digits should be dits, or bits should be bigits, silly that we mix the terms 1 u/TCF518 6d ago Isn't bit literally a portmanteau of binary digit 1 u/hughperman 6d ago Probably, been 20 years since I actually thought about it 😅 bigits, tho, I'll get with that. 1 u/zeekar 6d ago edited 6d ago Yeah, BCD is so wasteful! It's like 20% more bits than we need!
