I often find myself explaining the same things in real life and online, so I recently started writing technical blog posts.
This one is about why it was a mistake to call 1024 bytes a kilobyte. It’s about a 20min read so thank you very much in advance if you find the time to read it.
Feedback is very much welcome. Thank you.
So the problem is that our decimal number system just sucks. Should have gone with hexadecimal 😎
/Joking, if it isn’t obvious. Thank you for the explanation.
Or seximal!
Not that 1024 would be any better, as it’s 4424 in base 6.
