I understand the usual meaning, but I use the correct meaning when precision is required.
- wvenable 8mo agoThat's funny. If I used the "correct" meaning when precision was required then I'd be wrong every time I need to use it. In computers, bytes are almost always measured in base-2 increments.
- zephen 8mo agoWhen dealing with microcontrollers and datasheets and talking to other designers, yes precision is required, and, e.g. 8KB means, unequivocally and unambiguously, 8192 bytes.
- kstrauser 8mo agoUmmm, should we tell him?
- zephen 8mo agoThat I can't type worth shit? Yeah, I already knew that, lol. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. :-)
- kstrauser 8mo agoI kid good-naturedly. I'm always horrified at what autocorrect has done to my words after it's too late to edit or un-send them. I swear I write words goodly, for realtime!
