minus-square@Landless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months agoThe joke is binary 10 is 2. Vs base 10 of 10
minus-square@letsgo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoThanks for the explanation! I’ve only been doing digital logic since 1976 so I’m still a bit confused by it.
minus-square@Landless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months 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-square@Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink1•2 months agoThat’s clear. I thought this joke didn’t quite work because of the same reason, too.
minus-square@TheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilink4•edit-22 months 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-square@Landless2029@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months 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-square@TheOakTree@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•edit-22 months agoOh, definitely. The intended joke is out of 10 in decimal.

0 = 000
1 = 001
2 = 010
3 = 011 4 = 100
So 100 / 25 = 100 (4 in binary)
Here’s another neat one: 1010 / 101 = 10
I like that one or 1012=ERROR
