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.
To add to that, computers are great with powers of 2 because they work with bits. Each bit represents 2 values (0 or 1). That’s why computers have an easier time represting 1024, which is 2^10 (10 bits) instead of 1000, which isn’t a power of 2
