Good to know about MacOS and Linux. I usually never turn on the human readable mode on my distros because most are VMs.
Anyway, computer’s absolutely work best with working with numbers 2^n. That gives the most amount of space per bit. Otherwise, we would end up using the same amount of transistors for a fewer number of states. They could also greatly complicate the ALU to determine if it suddenly entered a forbidden state. Two’s compliment would certainly be much more difficult.
Submitting would be nearly impossible too
