@lawrencedoliveiro9104 Interesting, but after looking at the syntax they chose to enable that it feels rather inelegant, even if the pound sign makes sense. I do wonder though, why would anyone need so many different bases to represent numbers in?

@stefspooren1558 Technically base-2 logarithms would just be bitops, which were once quite commonly used for speeding up certain operations, but with the optimizing compilers we have now it's generally inadvisable to do such things manually. However, you need other bases for things like accounting software and 3D anything, and far more often.

@maruthiprasannakumar A more complete critique would be 's/that nobody/which no one/;s/brings/pulls/;s/.$//'. He probably googled and paraphrased instead of actually decoding the full string. Not everyone has fun with base64.
