You know you're a tech nerd when 256 sounds more even than 250 or 300. ๐
Or when it's bothering you that it's 256 and not 255... aren't we counting 0 anymore? :/
Or when it's bothering you that people forget the difference between counting and indexing.
You can index to 255 in an 8 bit number, but your count is still 256 when you get there.
Fair point ๐
If there are two things I hate in this world, it's off by one errors.
