In fact to write a run those same experience-- those same experiments now with the even greater volume of data computers are now producing I'd probably have terabytes worth of data and at that point things just would have broken.

事实上-,目前使用大量数据的相同实验中,计算机会产生,兆兆字节的数据,那时，一切都有可能遭到破坏。

So unfortunately, we had just ruined roughly 1.4 million bytes worth of data.

不幸的是，我们已经破坏了,140万个字节的数据。

And so this is why in problem set 5 last year when I took photographs on campus with a compact flash card, just standard consumer media and I accidentally formatted that compact flash card, I only lost the first few kilobytes, the first few thousand bits on that compact flash card.

这也是去年的套题5中,我们在校园里面用配有，简易闪存卡的标准摄像机拍照片,我不小心格式化了这个简易闪存卡,其实我只是丢失的最开头的几千个字节的数据。

And so very often I would find myself with gigabytes worth of data, at night I needed to analyze this data and look for this patterns and frankly the reality was sometimes I could spend 10-15 minutes whipping up a little script, a little program that unfortunately would take eight hours or more to run.

我经常会发现十亿字节的数据,晚上我就需要分析这些数据并,找出模型，坦白说，有时,我会花10-15分钟来编写一个小脚本，一个小程序,但不幸的是，运行它可能需要8个小时或更多时间。

So might have been seen long and that might be correct on some servers, but very, very often the data type called "long" is actually 4 bytes.

你们有可能看到过long，那个在一些服务器上是正确的,但是非常，非常普遍的是，那个叫做“long“的数据类型,只占有4个字节。

This is convention, so on almost-- and most any computer you overuse, if you're writing code that uses a char, you're gonna be handed 8 bits or 1 byte to store that particular char.

这是约定，对于大多数-,电脑，当你写代码要用到一个char型数据时,必须先预留8比特或1字节,的空间来存储这个char型数据。

But as you probably know, a JPEG, a photograph, these are usually multiple megabytes these days which means there's a ridiculous amount of data still on that digital camera.

但是你知道，一个JPEG图片，通常是由几兆字节组成的,也就是说这些数据的大部分,仍然存在于数码相机中。

So a char size is 1 byte or 8 bits.

一个char型数据占据1字节或8比特。
