The binary says ‘Meme’
Binary is just morse in Mashine readable Form.
I’m guessing you’re saying that because of the pauses? Otherwise I don’t get it.
Yes, the space is a necessary symbol in Morse code, otherwise it’s impossible to decode.
I’d say it’s quinary but can easily be represented binarily
-
short mark, dot or dit ( ▄ ): 1
-
longer mark, dash or dah ( ▄▄▄ ): 111
-
intra-character gap (between the dits and dahs within a character): 0
-
short gap (between letters): 000
-
medium gap (between words): 0000000
You can do it with three symbols:
- Dot: 10
- Dash: 1110
- Gap: 00
The long gap between words is just three short gaps.
There’s a Vsauce video about this: https://youtu.be/HY_OIwideLg
It was even worse, they manually flipped toggle switches to write the program
For anyone interested. Here’s a video of programming an EEPROM with dip switches and using it to drive a seven segment display.
The guy’s channel also includes how to build a very simple computer using various ICs. If breadboard computers are your kind of thing.
Even worse, they connected cables.
Finally, a keyboard to program brainfuck
Come on, we at least used hex digits.
