Sorry, but, mb, in lowercase? Like millibit?

“I implemented the FizzBuzz algorithm in only 10 million lines of code!”

[–] cbarrick@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
char* fizzbuzz(int n) {
    switch (n) {
        case 0: return "fizzbuzz";
        case 1: return "1";
        case 2: return "2";
        case 3: return "fizz";
        case 4: return "4";
        case 5: return "buzz";
        ...
    }
}

A terrifying number of people think like that.

For comparison the original StarCraft game asks for 80 uppercase megabytes of HDD (76.294 of whatever we're calling the lowercase thing today) and for RAM it asks for 16MB/15.259mib.

whatever we're calling the lowercase thing

  • M: "Mega": 1000^2
  • Mi: "Mebi": 1024^2
  • m: "Milli": 1000^-1
