@netikras well her answer was "if you use 1 in 2nd position, like 11 in binary, the first 1 isn't worth 1" and shit like that.
It's in italian, but if you want to see for yourself, here's the link: https://twitter.com/docChicco/... -
@ZioCain in that case a spoon is not always a spoon.
If I used 8 spoons as binary bits, a spoon in the 1st position would be "1", a spoon in 2nd position would be "2" and a spoon in the 3rd position would be a "4". So spoons are not spoons -- they are sometimes numbers!

@ZioCain maybe it was a bait

Seems like she is an engineer of post factism. -
@scor That this phrase exists makes me sad.
So, my wife sends me this picture because our car had 111,111 miles on it. Of course she called me a nerd when...
Binary is easy to teach
On my twitter feed today.
I know it's not really related to development, but I got in a discussion on twitter and one dude tweeted "in science, 1 isn't 1"
And so I was like "mate what? science is highly dependent on math and in math, 1 is kinda always worth math"
And this this girl comes in and just says:
"it's not true that 1 is always 1 because there's binary code as well"
And was was like totally astonished, like, have you even studied something? 1b = 1d = 1x and it's always 1 in whatever base!
(she even says she's some sort of engineer in her bio)
