I switched to the middle one because I couldn’t tell my sevens from my ones 😅

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 months ago

Does no one write their 1 as a simple line down?

[-] Heavybell@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

1 do, buy sometimes it can be important to make sure you mean I and not 1 (and definitely not l) if you're writing a code of some kind.

I do, but then it's too easy to confuse with absolute value. Beats confusing it with 7 though

I still use this one! Makes me feel like a fancy lad.

I started slashing my 7s and 0s in university; it's just easier to distinguish them thanks to the abundance of Greek letters, symbols, and notations used in engineering. Also my bad printing was further marred by constantly nodding off while taking notes, so anything to improve clarity.

Ya. Math and engineering totally ducked up my handwriting. I mean, it was already pretty bad. But all those other letters didn't help!

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago

ξ fucked me up a lot more than it probably should have...

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 13 points 10 months ago

It's a lowercase Ξ. Glad to be of help.

I spent 10 years in research, slashing your 7's and 0's is absolutely required in data keeping. Every intern/tech I had got the handwriting lesson.

I also change how they wrote capital G after too many "is that a 6 or a G" moments.

You draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because it looks better.

I draw sevens with a small bar in the middle because I have the handwriting of a goblin and my ones and sevens often look similar otherwise

We are not the same

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

empty set

[-] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 10 months ago

I have strong feelings about this one because that is the only reasonable way to clearly distinguish numeral from letter

[-] exscape@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well, most of the time. There's this bastard: Ø.
That's a letter, not a zero. Second-to-last letter in the Danish and Norwegian alphabets. We Swedes use Ö instead.

[-] txmyx@feddit.de 7 points 10 months ago

yk, the zeros are unnecessary. It's like 00007

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

True, but it's an old habit to keep it at an even 8 bits and it's a visual placeholder for me, s'all. Also, I can't even remember the last time I worked with a nibble, even with simple MCUs.

I'm a fan. I slash my zeros, too.

How about your z?

Prof from Germany explained that 1 in Germany has a flag so 7 must have a slash. Seemed good enough of a compromise to slash all the 7s and give 1s flags and feet.

this is a dashed seven thread. we don’t take kindly to straight-topped threes. double-bubble eights are also not “one of us”, nor are angle-ticked ones (if you’re gonna tick a one you better give that tick a curve). slashed and dotted zeroes are ok, but naked zeroes are heresy. overly-hooked 6s and 9s make us feel uncomfortable. triangled fours are the worst, though.
