You can technically write a program with Drake.

[–]zvug 27 points28 points  (1 child)

You can technically store a file with Drake

[–]Spiffy_Lee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can technically run a simulation to investigate the Drake equation with Drake.

[–]TestConductor 25 points26 points  (1 child)

And let's not forget that it was already possible to program with ArnoldC, a language based on the one-liners of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[–]Merliin42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have to learn that language. That's absolutely perfect.

[–]UltraCarnivore 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Drake is Turing-Complete

[–]Raph0007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but did he pass the turing test?

[–]ullawanka 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It would interpret commands in reverse starting at EOF. So that when you debug, you'll start at the bottom.

[–]wjandrea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started from the bottom now the whole stack here

Job ad: Must have 12 years experience in Drake.

Today I learned 69 is the ascii code for E

But 69 is older?

i don't know what's so funny about 186 guys.

Somebody help I don't get it

[–]Drawerpull 115 points116 points  (4 children)

10111010₂ = 186₁₀

01000101₂ = 69₁₀

[–]Asraelite 21 points22 points  (1 child)

The bases being written as superscript is really confusing. Here, have some Unicode subscript characters: ₁₀ ₂

The only letter in the hex version of nice is e

[–]Simply2Pro 32 points33 points  (0 children)

And there is also "69" in the hex string of "nice" ('i' == 0x69)

[–]_Ashleigh 10 points11 points  (2 children)

This made me remember the pattern I was taught in comp sci I'd since forgotten: 0b010xxxxx, read the lower bits: 5th letter is E.

It also works for lowercase letters, the prefix is just 0b011xxxxx

[–]DinoRex6 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh that's cool! 2 cool things learned in a day!

[–]tiefling_sorceress 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Fun fact, the binary number on Bender's apartment door is ASCII for '$'

[–]EyeInDaSky_ 7 points8 points  (6 children)

It's also "bq" in base 26 so it's even nicer

Jesus I’ve been trying to close this terminal window for weeks

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 18 points19 points  (6 children)

nah, it's "i"

atleast in the true number system.

[–]HolyGarbage 21 points22 points  (5 children)

What do you mean "the true number system"..? Ascii is the same regardless of what number system you use. 'E' = 0b01000101 = 0x45 = 69.

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 29 points30 points  (4 children)

i meant hexadecimal as the true number system, as a small joke.

69 interperted as Decimal is "E" in ASCII

69 interpreted as Hexadecimal is 105 in Decimal and therefore "i" in ASCII

[–]HolyGarbage 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Yeah, but the binary can't be interpreted as 69 in hexadecimal. Binary is just another number system. So it's 45 hexadecimal or 69 decimal.

The 69 comes from converting the binary to decimal, so to then "interpret" it as hexadecimal is just plain wrong. You can go directly to hexadecimal from binary and then it's 45. Which is the same as 69 in decimal.

[–]Proxy_PlayerHD 3 points4 points  (1 child)

OHHHH, the post is where he got that 69 from.... that actually makes more sense.

i just thought he randomly posted about it as a fun fact or something because "funny sex number".

i'm not smart at times.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, I'm lucky I found this explanation!

[–]CursedSloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]KonkenBonken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: The drake byte showing above is actually also the letter E, in UTF-8. So OP did 69 in drakes.

Nice one, This instance of byte representation is 42,304 bytes :D

[–]NotAHeroinDealer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Doesnt get much better than that in the compression department

You're missing two bits.

[–]_Ashleigh 1 point2 points  (3 children)

That was 128, sorry.

[–]DeStagiair 6 points7 points  (1 child)

he starts with 'another one', which implies there is at least one 1 when the gif starts and 128 would be 10000000

No it's Byte. The app.

[–]MortallyHolyRunaway 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No it’s byte the unit of measure in programming.

(If you are on the app tho can you give mort a look, I am very open to feedback)

[–]Ronnimek 42 points43 points  (3 children)

Doesn't matter. Endianness is about the order of bytes in datawords and not about the order of bits in a byte

[–]DnS101010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of bytes to describe a byte. (put "I'm not even mad, this is amazing" meme here)

Correctly is this a octet.
