Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes
zeta.one
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.

you can't ask for feedback, then attack everyone who doesn't share your opinion with "did you read it?", that's not cool...
I still don't get how "did you read it?" is attacking anyone? It's true I asked for feedback but I'm a bit overwhelmed that I had to clarify that I'm interested in feedback about the post from people who actually read it.
"the tone makes the music" as the Germans would say. you're asking for volunteer help and are rude to the ones replying
