Maybe it only works on even dates, which is, you know, perfectly normal.

I doubt it, unless they show something very in depth about a fresh vulnerability on a real system - and even then there are usually months between shooting a TV show/movie and it hitting the screen.

I think that most of the time even if they know what it would look like in the real world, movie creators intentionally make it look silly - I guess mostly for the entertainment value, or as kind of a joke in the lines of “let’s see how absurd we can make it before your grandma notices something’s not right”.

Imagine Copilot using it to intentionally showcase terrible code.

What’s the process you’re using instead? Some form of waterfall?

Blame modern Scrum/Agile and the ever tighter deadlines…

Yep, I think the problem with most folks is that base 10 is taken for granted without fully understanding it. Maybe some of the concepts would be even easier to explain in hex instead of in binary - that you count to F instead of to 9 before flipping to 10, then explaining that binary follows the same principle, but only has two digits, hence has to flip to 10 sooner.

IMO it should’ve been an analogy with 9 in base 10, it would’ve been clearer.
