but you know that binary means it only has 2 states/values?
therefore base 33 can never become the "new binary"...

@PonySlaystation of course I know that, it was just a joke, I didn't really know what to write in the tags and it was the first thing that came to my mind

I am confused. In any base, the first digit is one, and the next one is that digit times the base? So, wouldn't it be something really simple like "10"?

By that logic, computers stopped growing after 2. 😋

@catintroholic I knew both of those things...I was just wondering why so many digits? In base 33, 33 is "10"

It's ASCII, each character represented as two digits in base 33.

@Haxk20 Thank you too :D I noticed there are lots of Slovaks here. It makes me feel a little proud for our little country 😎

@BitFlipped because ASCII character codes (aka ordinals)
"A" == 65, not 1
"a" == 97, not 27

"Happybirthday".chars.map { |char|
char.ord.to_s(33)
}.join
=> "262v3d3d3m2w363f3h35312v3m"
