Arnd LayerI think that us using #base10 is suboptimal. #base2 / #base16, #base12 or #base60 would be the better choice - sorry to all the cultures that had to switch. But switching now would not work. Maybe a visit by technologically superior aliens would work.im not sure.

I came across a functioning coder today asking if a kilogram was 1000 or 1024 grams. Yes they did ask, yes they verified, yes they accepted 1000 grams. I swear ten thousand years in the future some fucker will 'oops, black hole!' 'cos they began in comp sci and learned kilo = 1024 first and NOBODY WILL CATCH IT. Humanity will be WIPED OUT because YOU LOT KEPT THIS SHIT UP.
