    I think that `CAL XCHGI` should assemble to `206 015 002`.

    OK, I can't read as easily as , so I didn't check that the 206 is correct. But that address in the 2nd/3rd bytes looks proper dodgy.

  11. I got dragged into a conversation today where a group of people collectively decided that binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems are useless and stupid.

    Most of them use hexadecimal every day. In their graphic design work. #FF5733 is not decimal. It is HEXADECIMAL.

    Their argument against binary was that counting in it is inefficient. That 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 is dumb compared to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

    These fools fail to understand that both systems are one and the same!

    Every positional number system works identically. You have N symbols. You count through them. When you exhaust them, you reset and carry. Decimal has 10 symbols (0-9). Binary has 2 (0-1). Octal has 8 (0-7). Hexadecimal has 16 (0-F). Same mechanism. Different base.

    Binary is not inefficient. It maps to transistor states. Octal compresses binary into groups of three-- which is why Unix permissions are written as 000 - 777. Hexadecimal compresses binary into groups of four --which is why every memory address and colour code is in hex. These are not alternatives to decimal. They are the same information at different compression levels.

    The people arguing loudest had encountered these systems, used them regularly, and left without a single question about how any of it works.

    I do not know what is worse -- the ignorance or the confidence it travels at.

  16. The ZX81 character set is objectively the best because A to Z immediately follow on from 0 to 9. 0 has code 28; A has code 38 (unlike ASCII where there is a gap of 7 codes: 0 has code 0x30, A has code 0x41). This means that to convert from 0 to 15 to a single hex digit, we can do CHR$(28+H), where H is the digit we are converting. If we need the most significant digit of a two-digit hexadecimal number we can do CHR$(28+INT(H/16)). But. Because CHR$ rounds its input, we can remove the INT: CHR$(28+H/16). But. Mysteriously INT is mathematical floor, whereas CHR$ rounds to nearest (and 0.5 goes up). So CHR$(28+H/16) is wrong when the least sig digit is 8 to F. But can be corrected with: CHR$(27.5+H/16). Haha.
    (which is the code i used).

  23. "#sexadecimal" is the right term, it's all latin. But IBM started using that number system, and mixed greek and latin; "hex" was less provocative than "sex."

    Hey, it's the 1950's, and Lucille Ball got large and had a baby while filming a weekly TV show, it was talked about in the show, but not once did they say "pregnant." (eri) #Pregnat #Hexadecimal

  24. Aircraft and glider transponder codes - FAA gotcha.

    I have not yet received my glider registration from the FAA (any day now, lol!), but they have assigned a transponder code for the N-number I have reserved. (see first screenshot)

    To configure my avionics, I need to load this transponder code into the device.

    FLARM wants it as a 24-bit hexadecimal value. (Each hexadecimal value is 4 bits in binary...so it's going to be a six-character code...but my code is not six characters.)

    Hmmmm, that number the FAA gave me just doesn't seem correct.

    I then called up a known, long-registered aircraft to compare their transponder code. (2nd screenshot)

    Surprise! The transponder code I was given was in octal, but not labeled as such. OK, convert to hexadecimal and now everything makes sense.

    Onward!

    Indeed this started somewhere when we had hundreds of megabytes of space for hard drives. For me, clients were told beforehand that the space on the drives was calculated in decimals. I simply told them that because of a conversion system the drives are actually (much) smaller in raw capacity. Some of the clients were semi-technical and knew about the binary system used for hard drive space before.

    Those I could tell in detail about the marketing ploy, to sell drives which are under capacity and Market them as higher.

    For me the annoying thing is that Storage Systems are still sold with incorrectly displayed capacities.

    And since drives will become really large soon, we'll have 32+ terabytes of drives available for consumers, it will be harder _no_ it will be an unnecessary **extra step** to calculate how much raw capacity the drive actually has

    Meanwhile in the 80s you knew exactly what the raw capacity was, because they were properly stated by the manufacturers

    #FileSystems #HDD #SSD #Storage #Standards #Binary #Hexadecimal #Linux #freeBSD #DOS #Partition #programming

  34. HDD SSD space should be counted in binary.

    1KB in binary is 1024.

    A 32 TB hard drive is in fact 30.517578125 TB unpartitioned /unformatted capacity, as the binary system on the computer actually uses it

    I know about all those confusing terms that you can find when you go and search on different engines; those are just to confuse and convolute the fact that drives sold are under capacity

    Counting storage in decimals is a crime, a marketing scheme which should have been outlawed globally.

  35. Погружение в мир шестнадцатеричной системы счисления

    Погружение в мир шестнадцатеричной системы счисления Наверное, многие слышали о шестнадцатеричной системе счисления (она же hexadecimal) и даже видели её при работе со своим кодом, когда вместо привычных нулей и единиц в стектрейсе появляется что-то вроде 0x0034ab37. Что это такое, где же те самые нули и единицы, с которыми работает компьютер, и зачем использовать шестнадцатеричную систему? Давайте разбираться.
