I'm only interested in 3rd base currently.

All bases are belong to us

Babe, on a scale of 0x1 to 0x10, I give you a solid A+.

[–] ttyybb@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

A+? Would that just be B or does it round down

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

It can be whatever you like

[–] adeoxymus@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

More important is the scale. On a scale of 10 means it doesn’t matter in what base XD

So then this would mean a 1 in binary is a decimal 5?

[–] redparadise@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 7 hours ago

On a scale of 10, 10 in Base 2 would be 2.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 hours ago

On a 100, right?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 5 points 6 hours ago

Should've just said "True".

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

Babe, you are a 0b1.

[–] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

But on a binary scale this would translate to 11 base 10.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Wut?

10 binary = 2 decimal

10 decimal = 1010 binary

Where are we getting 11?

10 is the base (2) overflowed by 1 (zero indexed) which kind of translates to 10+1 base 10 (1 indexed). I didn't really mean in in mathematical but rather nonsensical way. I just wanted to pull 11/10
