10001

For anyone who doesn't want to do the conversion, that's 17 days.

It's even worse considering that they only have five boards. They expect at least one accident every month

I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We're talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.
I've been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.
Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We're really good as getting hurt.
- I wonder if that's still cheaper, because it makes people value safety of others but also because it raises the burden to report smaller accidents and workmans comp fraud because of peer pressure.
- What does LTL stand for ?

It’s a great way to save on number boards

It bothers me it's not in 4 bit "bytes" even though I know it's just a convention for computers

The four bit sections of eight bit bytes are called nibbles, you know because nibbles are small bites
- Ugh jeez.. right. I literally always mess that up
A byte is eight bits.
- That's a matter of convention, not technical definition. A byte can be any number of bits, depending on hardware. For a while 6 bit bytes were common. RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet
- 4 bits is a nybble
- Yes. I am dumb.
You can do all of math in binary, it isn't just for computers. In fact, the proof for "Russian Peasant Multiplication" was written in binary.
- So you can do all mathematical operations in binary, but you can't represent all numbers in binary like 0.3, which is a repeating number, and had the same issues as a number like 1/3 in decimal where you can't avoid rounding errors
  It's worth noting that 1/3 is also a repeating number in binary. 0.01010101....
  While 0.3 is in binary 0.0100110011001100...

I love the leak in the other room. Get ready to reset the counter folks!

It's telling that their counter only goes up to a month

-1 days? (or 17, without the overflow)

Twos complement (invert the bits then add one), so its -15 days.
Otherwise 00000 and 10000 would paradoxically both equal 0 and make bitwise equality checks very difficult.
- Good point!

The author of this comic has a number of excellent coffee table compilations: https://www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2 (unaffiliated -- I just like them :))

They've never gone more than a month without an accident? Find a new work place immediately!

With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it's really easy to have something that could count against it.
I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.

I totally got that without the text bubble.
