< graymalkin> Tatskaari: no, I'd rather never touch node with a 10ft barge pole :P < Featherer> 10'3"? < graymalkin> that would be acceptable < graymalkin> 9'11" also. but 10'0" is preposterous. < Featherer> How many significant figures? < graymalkin> 2 < graymalkin> *3 < graymalkin> idk if 11 inches is 1 or 2 figures in the measurement 9'11" < Featherer> 2 < Featherer> 1 would round to 10 < graymalkin> but the measurement system in base 12 < Featherer> The feet are modulo 12 < graymalkin> rounding 11 to 10 seems wrong, when 9 is fine on its own < graymalkin> if I have 9'11" to 2s.f. I feel like the `11' is *single* figure < Featherer> But if it's inches, you'll be rounding in decimal < graymalkin> it's a non-decimal part of that number, why would I round in decimal < graymalkin> it's like saying 0x1A rounds to 0x1 < graymalkin> * 0x2 < graymalkin> +0 < graymalkin> >.< < Featherer> You're using the decimal numbering system < graymalkin> I'm not, I'm denoting base with the '" notation < graymalkin> I can't make inches *not* base 12, by writing them in arabic numerals < graymalkin> that's just wrong < Featherer> 100 feet is 100 feet in decimal < graymalkin> 11 inches == 11 inches to 1s.f. < graymalkin> yeah, that's fine < graymalkin> but the inches aren't in decimal < Ritsuka> THIS is why the metric system was invented
