Answer:

Binary is made up of only 2 digits: a one and a zero. 1011 is eleven in our counting system.

So 10 in binary = 2 in our counting system.

Read the joke as follows. There are 2 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

I guess it's not really that funny, but computer programmers like it.
