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.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. It’s pretty fucking logical m8. You know what’s not logical? Base 10
Yeah, base ten really screws around with programming. You specifically have to use a decimal type if you really want to use it (for like finance or something), but it’s much slower.
