I'm fascinated by the dotted countdown clock at the bottom of the page. It took me a while to figure out exactly what it was, and I got lost in Wikipedia reading about how braille is represented in unicode, thinking it had something to do with that.
My guess is that the first set in dark blue is days remaining, followed by hours in purple, minutes in green, and seconds in light blue. Haven't quite wrapped my head around which dot represents what value, but it sure does look cool.
- Aaronneyer 13y agoIt's just simple binary, representing the days, hours, minutes, seconds
- anvarik 13y agodays do not have an upper bound; therefore you see 8bits on the most left position. Hours can be at most 24, so 7th bit is not present, minutes&seconds can be at most 60 so 8th bit is not present etc...
