Happy 100000th birthday, Debian

RIP Ian

And yes I’ve found few things as stable as Debian. I dual boot with windows, come back after months to see an update is all i need. Cannot say the same about arch etc.

binary one-zero-zero-zero-zero-zero th

I don't think this happens enough for us to be able to derive descriptive usage, never mind prescriptive rules.

All that matters is the last digit, so "th" is correct. In binary you would just have _th and _st.

100000th is syntactically correct. That it's semantically binary rather than decimal is the joke.

No, of course not ... why would there be?

We don't say oneth, twoth, or threeth, we say first (1st), second (2nd), and third (3rd). For all other digits and numbers not ending with 1, 2, or 3 we use th. So zeroth (0th), tenth (10th), hundredth (100th), hundred thousandth (100000th). Stick 0b in front and it's 0b100000th.

That's a great idea and I might steal it. I even know which song to play.

Ingrid Daubechies threw a big party on her 64th birthday and invited all her old students and collaborators; we even had a conference around it.
