If you ask what is 257 time 389 I can give you an answer in a split second. 4809!!
So awesome! Would you like some billion dollars venture capital?
64 bits please. We don’t want a year 2038 problem.
I hope they included that information on the cover of the Voyager golden record in case aliens want to understand our numbers.
My thought as well, but alas, this is what my dad’s looks like 🤷. Illustrates the point even better though, kind of.
Man könnte fast meinen, dass der praktische Nutzen nicht das allerwichtigste Kriterium beim Design von den Dingern war.
imho, the “seconds” bits are neat because you can see things change… Like, you see that it does stuff. Like the “seconds” hand on an analogue clock, it’s mostly practical to see that it’s working as expected.
It’s afternoon, time to call it a day!
Yeah, what kind of idiot needs repeating patterns in the time format for repeating times during a day? Just display the unix timestamp on the clock tower and be done with it.
Actually, having 64 bits arranged vertically on a tower seems neat.
If that obfuscated something, it wasn’t on purpose… it’s just literally the clock in my dad’s kitchen.
… and those who know at base n, “10” can represent literally any number.
Wurde auf mastodon auch schon darauf hingewiesen… Aber dann steht ja einen 16-Wochen-4-Bit-Adentskranz für nächstes Jahr einfach überhaupt nichts mehr im Weg!
Maybe this comic doesn’t translate well, just because people don’t do the same stuff in different places. In Germany it’s tradition to light up one more candle on the four Sundays preceding Christmas. Even people who aren’t really religious often do that, because why not? It’s comfy and cozy.
