I really like base-2 prefixes in writing, e.g. 1 KiB, 2 MiB, 3 GiB and so on. It's way more explicit. However, SI units are k M G and so on. Switching between lowercase k and uppercase Ki keeps tripping me up.

I admire that Chromebooks have an explicit date when they stop receiving security updates. Many devices aren't so clear, so we can't have useful discussions like this:

"It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." — Alan Perlis I'm still not sure I agree with this: explicit data types are often nice. Following this maxim leads to pervasive lists or hash maps.
