Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)

Twos complement (invert the bits then add one), so its -15 days.

Otherwise 00000 and 10000 would paradoxically both equal 0 and make bitwise equality checks very difficult.
