When we're using base 10 but if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Base 11.

Base 1 is hosed up. How do you represent 0? What about fractions? For example in binary pi starts out 11.001001000011111101101010..., how are you gonna do that in base 1 and distinguish it from say, e + 1 (binary: 11.101101111110000101010001...)

Your brokebrain sin is absolved...go and shitpost no more!

i remember a classmate and i going to our cs intro professor asking if there was a base that people thought was "best". he said he thought he remembered reading ternary might be nicer than binary, because you could have a true, false, and like a "maybe" or something. then he put on a jazz record and regaled us with embarrassing stories about his daughter, who was a year ahead of us. she worked the student it helpdesk and reportedly cut her teeth as a babby on an ancient multi-monitor mac, spending much time trying to catch the mouse cursor when it jumped from one monitor to the other

I'm guessing this thread is another probe into what Echi is rooting now rather than the fascinating op topic, what is base one one
