learn to count bitwise on your hands and impress absolutely nobody when you count up to 1023 on your hands

question is, does one start counting from the right or the left thumb?

neo throws the finger from his left, so that's 4 if you count from left thumb, or 128 if you count from the right

/e 132 is both middle fingers on each hand up regardless

most numbers aren't real :eng101:

also this is false. but what’s true and funny is that Almost All real numbers are uncomputable. they cannot be used for measurement. they cannot be used for pure math. there are only a few of them whose existence we can even ponder. Great job math!!

in the context of mathematically "real" numbers there are more that are not "real" than the numbers that are "real"

I've seen this but the fact that it didn't become the dominant counting system speaks to it's less intuitive nature.

Common but apparently not quite common enough to become our dominant number system.

This line of argument is breathtaking. The number of things you can support as "intuitive" is nearly limitless. Not even Fukoyama is this credulous.

Greetings! Athanatos and I are running a C-SPAM feedback thread, and we want to make sure as much of the C-SPAM community as possible is aware of it, in case you want to give the site admins direct feedback on stuff.

Athanatos posted:

Hello CSPAM folks. Shine and I are admins here on SA and we need your help. Tell us about CSPAM! We want to hear good things, bad things, neutral things. I cant be a good admin and help with poo poo if I don't know about a place, so here I am. Things we'd love to hear about include:

  • Threads that are great. Things that are funny or entertaining or informative. Why do you think as such?
  • People who deserve recognition for being great here and adding to the community. Forums are nothing without worth-a-poo poo people, who is under-recognized and deserves some props?
  • Things that loving suck in CSPAM. No place is roses all the time. What needs changed and WHY? What might not need a change per say...but is something you don't like.

This is your chance to write words about your home forum.

there is no need to choose between imperial and metric, they are both fine systems and both have their use. try the Canadian method the next time you want to measure something!
