I guess after Revision we will be at 100k prods -
I guess after Outline we will be at 100k prods too! -
Oh 1 million, that lovely number that is precisely 19.9315685693 bits. You know who also care about millions? ELON MUSK and DONALD TRUMP -
i think millions are a little tiny bit under their scope -
I'm sure there are plenty of smaller numbers they are fond of, like 14, or 88 -
39, 45 ... -
hot: so you really want to go into 1MB vs 1MiB discussion - 7
- that was a good thread!
- what there is to really discuss about it?

Ouf... It is sooo calm without that BitFeed stuff =). Nice... - the dillema was which number is "rounder" 10^6 or 2^20

more up to date news than a dead bitfeed: https://demozoo.org/forums/post/4962/#post-4962 - All computer programmers should think it's 2^20, but it's understandable that humans would think it's 10^6
-
The prefix kilo for 10^3 has been used since 1795, mega for 10^6 since 1873. I think it was pretty dirty for computer guys to just say, "Oh, but that's not useful to us, we just mean something else by that" -
KB is KiB in Windows, MB is MiB in Windows. -
"I dont know whats going on in here..." - But in macOS, KB is KB, MB is MB.
-
As long as the context is clear (serial stream vs row/column matrix), no problem to determine if prefix is base-10 or base-2. =) - all those IEC prefixes like 1 MiB are trying to mimick base-10, and it's really base-1024, and why 1024? it should be 256^n or 65536^n prefixes
-
just use KiB for 1024 and some other funny k* acronym for 1000, and you're good. - If it's a situation where it's ambiguous whether it's 2^20 or 10^6, it's also most likely a situation where those 48576 bytes don't matter
