But oof
Would definitely make things more complicated
yea the conversion would suck, but hex numbering could have a lot of advantages
It would make big numbers a lot weirder to display
Also multiplication
metric is for people who are too stupid to convert numbers
I like how there's people from all around the world here so it's like always nighttime here :3
@Deleted User which is why everyone except America, Liberia and Myanmar are using it?
Myanmar high IQ country confirmed?
@Ruggwain smarter than roaches
@Ruggwain If we started with hex we wouldn't have number like "4GD54". We would just have 16 different math symbols
And we would be used to it
So why would big numbers be harder to display?
The absence of E
Absence of E?
X×10E1
with world IQ dropping and schools using common core, I don't see any improvements in mathematics coming anytime soon
Wouldn't it still work?
No
So it just happens to work the the number we randomly chose?
In this universe it would be something like X×16E1
But that would fuck over so much
all numbering systems have the ability to scale. it just feels weird because base 10 is so rooted in us
base 16 is better tho
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

lel
That's just a definition
@Deleted User that's how it's called here
>infomatics
>not a joke
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
