    I really don’t like these. It’s binary for each digit, so it’s really just a bad proxy for decimal numbers rather than being clean binary numbers. If it were roman numerals, I feel like it would be equally silly to separate the numbers this way: 15:39 -> I, V : III, IX.

    I understand that it makes it hard to read if the binary numbers go high, but that’s why we don’t use them like this.
