Minor quibble but in case anyone wonders like I did, the cases for units are mostly backwards. When he writes "Kb", he means "kB" (I looked at the size of the homepage, which is 10kB).
For anyone wondering what I'm talking about, the kilo prefix is lower case K, the symbol for a byte is upper case B and lower case B is a bit. Kb = kilobit with badly capitalised kilo. kB = kilobyte. kb = kilobit.
Also, interestingly, the JEDEC unit for 1024 bytes is KB while the metric one is kB. This is the only somewhat unambiguous JEDEC unit, the other two are corruptions of metric units.
- dracos 9y agoSorry to confuse, now fixed. Think I just predate all this standardization. I did mean KB (at least, that is what DevTools uses and from where I copied the figures :) ).
