OT but his mention of the calculator reminded me of discovering just yesterday that the built in Mac calculator has a Programmer mode (apparently Windows too) for hex, etc.

I’d been using the RPN/scientific mode for ever but never new about Programmer mode.

I’m actually doing a fair amount of hex conversions and bit fiddling these days (webassembly bytecode) so it was actually something useful.




And don't miss that clicking the displayed bits will flip them. Can be handy at times, debugging flags for example.
