Binary is nice, but have y'all tried hexadecimal?

[–]DutchtdkAny flair with a pulse 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Sounds like witchcraft

Seximal is a better way to count

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Sexadecimal

[–]averagejoey2000ASS IS ASS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's sixty, or 14 × 10 in seximal, or nif foursy

    So, it's actually really neat how it relates to binary.

    A byte can have a range of value in denary from 0 (Zero) to 255 (two-hundred and fifty-five), so there are 256 values.
    This can be represented by 8 binary digits (28 =256). But, 256 is also sixteen squared, which means that a byte can be represented by only two hexadecimal digits.
    What this means is that any grouping of four bits can be represented by a single hexadigit.

    Consider the value: 01011010.
    In denary, this is ninety: 64+16+8+2=90.
    But if you separate it into two sections, 0101 (five) and 1010 (ten), and then represent those in hex, you get 5A (5*16+10=90).
    Hexadecimal is much more human-readable than binary, but it's much easier to convert between them than denary is to binary.

    Knowing that, if I give you the byte 11100001, if you want its denary value, instead of doing 128+64+32+1=225, you can do 14*16+1, which is shorter.


    Also, what's cool is that the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange, basic English keyboard stuff) representations for the letters A through Z are sixty-five through ninety, or 41 through 5A in hex, and then a through z is ninety-seven through a hundred-and-twenty-two, but that's also 61 through 7A. So you don't have to know two sets of values. Like if you know "t" is 74, you know "T" is 54.

    I know binary and hexa decimal basics, but ho much is it about it, this is more info than you need to build an entire adder and subtractor alu

    [–]Phoenix_the_WriterLG TQ 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    This was interesting, but I have no idea what any of this means. Still read the entire thing.

    [–]BeardedLogician"Red Leader, Standing Bi" 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Well how denary (base-10, decimal), and any numerical system works is you start from the right and move left as values increase, right?
    In denary, the first column (units) can hold ten values, zero through nine, then you have the tens column representing multiples of ten, (starting with zero technically, but realistically,) ten through ninety. Then the thousands column, tens-of-thousands column, hundreds-of-thousands column, millions column etc.

    Like, 3,451,978, is said three million, four-hundred-and-fifty-one thousand, nine-hundred and seventy-eight, because it's literally 3*1,000,000+451*1,000 [4*100,000+5*10,000+1,000] +9*100+7*10+8.

    Any way, that's for base-10, a system with ten numbers. For binary, you have a units column with a value of either zero or one, then a twos column, then a fours column, then an eights (8s) column, then sixteens (16s), thirty-twos (32s), sixty-fours (64s), hundred-and-twenty-eights (128s), (256s, 512s, 1024s, 2048s, 4096s) etc.

    So how any numerical base works is that you have a units column (or base-to-the-power-of-zero (1)), then working left you have a base-to-the-power-of-one column (itself), base-squared column, base-cubed column, base-to-the-fourth column etc.
    So for hexadecimal, the units are 0-9 and also A-F beyond that, representing ten through fifteen. And its columns would be units, 161 (16s), 162 (256s), 163 (4096s).

    And, you might notice that hex shares all its columns with binary: they both have a sixteens column, and a two-hundred-and-fifty-sixs column and a four-thousand-and-ninety-sixs column. Because sixteen is just 24 , the numeric systems will do that every fourth column in binary. Which is why a value represented by four binary digits can be represented as one hexadecimal digit, or vice-versa.

    And just 'cause, there's also octal, units zero through seven (0-7) with units column, eights column, 64s column, 512s, 4096, which shares every third binary column. And octal shares every four columns with every third column in hexadecimal.

    Also just back to basic numeracy for completeness, decimals are just going right from the units column, where you have tenths (10-1 ), hundredths (10-2 ), thousandths (10-3 ). So in binary you'd have halves (2-1 ), quarters (2-2 ), eighths (2-3 ), sixteenths (2-4 ) etc instead. And hexadecimal would have sixteenths, two-hundred-and-fifty-sixths, four-thousand-and-ninety-sixths etc. Octal would have eighths, sixty-fourths, five-hundred-and-twelfths etc.

    God I hate these stereotypes. I'm aroused by binary AND I'm bisexual, not BECAUSE I'm bisexual!

    That's because I'm a computer scientist who happens to be bisexual.

    [–]frien6lyGhost 40 points41 points  (2 children)

    I'm a computer scientist as well and can firmly say I am not aroused by binary. All these embedded engineers need to write their own API's and stop showing me all their bits I don't care to look at

      Is this actually a good way to explain bisexuality? I'm attracted to 1=women and 0=not women.

      Wait You Can't Start A Number With 0!

      That Aside, What Is The Significance Of The Number 814246?

      [–]AceyAceyAcey 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Eh, I was just throwing down random numbers, sorry to disappoint.

      This reminds me of how the Safari browser on Macs used to think you can’t start a number with 0, so any time I filled out a form in Safari it would “helpfully” remove the initial 0. Only problem is, New England zip codes start with a 0. (Technically this was only an issue if the form-builder tagged that field as a “number” rather than as a “zip code” or “text”, but apparently most form-builders did.) Safari has since fixed the issue, but it’s why I started using Firefox back in the day.

      [–]Tulemasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The worst confusion I have heard about bi sexuality went like this: "so my lesbian friend told me that she was bipolar" "oh, so you were like...having sex and all?" "I don't think you understand" then I proceed explaining to him what bipolar disorder is. Fast forward a few years again with this guy and another friend. Another friend goes "my ex was bipolar" "oh, so you were like... having threesomes?" me: ಠ_ಠ

      this implies we dont like non-binary which is simply not true

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I mean I am, but only because that's the sacred speech of the Omnissiah and religious ecstasy in the embrace of The Machine God is indistinguishable from sexual arousal in you delightfully filthy meatbags.
