Comment on Implementing Tic Tac Toe with 170mb of HTML - no JS or CSS
floofloof@lemmy.ca 10 months agoI was actually confused enough to have to check. I’m always aware of the distinction between MB and Mb, so I wondered whether “mb” was intentional, if weird.

Do you really work with memory, storage, and bandwidth? If so, have you EVER run across an instance where memory, storage, or bandwidth were referred to in millibits? Memory, storage, and bandwidth are extremely important in my job, though not my direct focus, and I can say over 50 years as a sysadmin and coder, I have never encountered “mb” and had it actually mean “millibits”. Literally not once. Now “Mb” definitely has some ambiguity (in bandwidth, it’s used for Megabits, and in memory/storage, it’s more often than not a typo of MB), but “mb” actually meaning “millibits”? No, friend. Just no.

No, that’s why it seemed weird.
