And? I started programming back in 1996, back when most computer storage and memory measurements were generally already well defined, around the base 2 binary system.

Floppy disks were about the only exception, 1.44MB was indeed base 10, but built on top of base 2 for cluster size. It was indeed a clusterfuck. 1.44MB was technically 1.38MiB when using modern terms.

I do wonder sometimes how many buffer overflow errors and such are the result of 'programmers' declaring their arrays in base 10 (1000) rather than base 2^10 (1024)... 🤔
