binaries aren't assembly though, they're *peers at notes, draws a blank* they're.... something else
You just have to be able to navigate whatever executable file format it is, figure out where the data/code sections are, how different parts are linked together, and translate all the binary opcodes to readable mnemonics.
Easy. 😁
I think it’s most commonly called machine code.
True. Machine code usually has a 1:1 mapping to assembly so it's not hard to read machine code as assembly. Although you will not see any of the labels (unless for some reason the the labels were left in).
They're assembled into binary (together with metadata in some cases).
All files are binary.
Quantum computers enter the picture
Damn woke physics

There are ternary computers - just not so popular. Maybe when Carbon nanotube computers will take off it will be a thing.
No, all files are base 256
That's just binary with extra steps.
This feels on topic:
Installation
npm
Nah
Now all we need to do is rewrite this in Rust (the enby solution) and call it... idk... "enbym"?
Dark mode would be NB-PM
If it ain't C, it's crap
C for crap.
R for rubish.
Fair enough.

Booleans can be true, false or maybe. Technical info: Booleans are stored as one-and-a-half bits.
Remember, there is no 'bad' code – we have to be tolerant. There is just 'different' code.
*glances at PR*
Man why does your code look so... *Different? *

New gender dropped, source baby source!
Nah, everything is binary. We just view it through false lenses because the switches got too tiny and people got too dumb.
