While normal people solve crosswords or sudoku, computer nerds are:
- solving Karnaugh maps of BCD-to-7-segment-display or other decoders
- converting Lambda Calculus terms to their equivalent SKI calculus terms
- You're numbering chapters, pages and ordered lists from 0.
- Number 1024 feels more round than 1000.
- "Works for me".
- When searching for a song, you type _ instead of space.
- When reading word "Character", you think about a graphical sign instead of a game/movie hero.
- When reading word "fuse", you think about software instead of an electrical device.
- Blender: you set first frame from 1 to 0 and last from 200 to 255.
- Blender and Inkscape: you set minor grid lines from 10 to 16.
- When asked to say all digits, you say: 0, 1.
- When asked to say an alphabet, you say: QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM.
- When your wife asks you to describe her in one word, you take a photo of her and encode it in base64.
- Looking at a cobble stone floor and watching reflections, you think "it's just a normalmap".
- When someone references IEEE without a number, you assume IEEE-754.
- Day after you ate something stale, you call it Non-Maskable Interrupt.
