Writing Hexadecimal Numbers

Pamela Fox:

TIL: we didn’t always use “A-F” to represent 10-15 in hexadecimal numbers.

Update (2018-09-14): Pamela Fox:

What are some interesting uses of hexadecimal numbers that you’ve run into? (I’m making content on hexadecimal right now, looking for inspiration)

Very fascinating!!
