As a programmer, I never have found an use for the Oct system.. this joke is more pointed towards mathematicians I guess?
-
@EngineerCoding mathematicians dont use hex and oct values as much as we do.
RGB colors are encoded in octal. -
tokumei21256y@illegaldisease RGB is *hexadecimal*. The only time I've seen octal in the wild is permission flags for Linux filesystems since each class of users gets 3 bits for rwx

@tokumei You can also define a color using octal, was my point. Linux flags are a nice example, thanks :)
