Morse code is transmitted as a binary code, but that doesn’t make Morse code binary. If that were the case the Latin alphabet would also count as binary because computers transmit it in binary. The rules you describe is the encoding between Morse code’s native trinary alphanumeric encoding into a binary format for transmission.

111·23 days agoAlways been a bit annoyed that people describe Morse as a binary code, it isn’t, it’s technically trinary, you have 3 symbols, dot, dash, and space. Without a space you can’t discern the difference between “hi” and “eeeeee”.
It’s a Netflix production, it’ll be there after the theatrical run.
This is actually the sandwich problem, which states there is exactly one slice that will split a sandwich of 3 elements into exactly 2 halves regardless of the shape or position of those elements. We don’t need the full proof, but the problem is continuous, so any desired ratio is possible, therefore you will always be able to slice an apple into exactly 1/3 and 2/3rds “good bits”, so a single slice will always be able to do the job.
It’s been added to OEIS already https://oeis.org/A268236

0·1 year agoNot a French speaker,but more than a bit of a keyboard nerd. I can’t help but notice how similar the layout is to the English alt layout Colemak, specifically the angle mod version for ISO keyboards. It is cool that this is an official standard layout. Is this planned to replace azerty completely? I don’t see many other countries other than France making such a change, but I am excited that French has water looks to be a very good modern layout.


And anyway, the correct term is gaslamping.
