I have to learn different bases for my degree

Well regardless you could always just say 5e10 means 50,000,000,000

I study informatics so I use base 2, 4 and 16 all the time

>infomatics
lel

@Baraban that'z not what it means though

That's just a definition

@Deleted User that's how it's called here

>infomatics
>not a joke

@Baraban the reason why it's like that is because 10^5 = 10000

I know

the hardest part of a base2 multiplied math like hex or octal is getting used to not being base-10. after that it all seems easy

Not because it's easy to look at and understand

The point is you can have a symbol that dictates the number of 0's

Yee base 2 is a way different beast though

With signed and unsigned

Oof

You would but it would be 16E1 @Baraban

you forgot about signed negative decimal numbers @Ruggwain

🤔 I suppose yes

Though negative and positive are under the same system

it all just comes back to the complexity of CONVERTING frome base-10 because that's what we all learned. After that (admittedly massive) hump, the numbering becomes simple and intuitive

Fuck university informatics btw

College master race

GITGUD

Or whatever the equivalent of Fachhochschule is in the land of the eternal anglo 🤔

It's called a university faggot

No

Universität is university

At least informatics has a practical job at the end. I mean it's not intersectional feminist basket weaving with a thesis on how LLamas are a tool of The Patriarchy.

^^this

```A Fachhochschule (German: [ˈfaxhoːxʃuːlə] (About this sound listen); plural Fachhochschulen), abbreviated FH, or University of Applied Sciences (UAS) is a German tertiary education institution, specializing in topical areas (e.g. engineering, technology or business).

```

University

University prepares you for research though which cancer

Half your courses are mathematical proofing

Pronounced "Fat-cock-school"

lol

@Deleted User "University of Applied sciences" != "University"

I can see rugg acts so gay sometime

@Ruggwain So it'd be an engineering school or an Academy of sciences, then?

and I'm telling you, that shit doesn't exist here

@banestrum yeah kinda. Basically it eliminates everything related to research and focuses purely on what's good for the business world
