@neauoire I like to think of them as "baker's dozens" for silicon.

@neauoire really the question is why hasn’t anyone made metric computers. It’s not *binary’s* fault people go “oh let’s fill every addressable number in the address space with hardware” and “8 bits in a byte, that is a good number instead of 10”. That’s just imperialism disguised as engineering.

It’s not like city planners go “base 10 street numbers mean we can only have exactly 10, 100 or 1000 houses on any street”.
