“remember, base 8 is just like base 10, really, if you’re missing two fingers. Now, anyone who gets this right can stay after class and help clean the erasers...”
- ghaff 9y agoThe funny thing is that New Math's considerable focus on non-base 10 arithmetic and boolean logic was an academic exercise largely divorced from practical application for the vast majority of people at the time. While that may still be true in terms of the overall population, of course they're highly relevant to both programming and digital circuits.
- hprotagonist 9y agoIndeed. I’m post new math, but I had Boolean logic in 10th grade and it was a very helpful step up.
