While looking at memory usage in top and htop I couldn't figure out why
they showed different numbers. It turns out top uses MiB (Mebibytes) and
htop uses MB (Megabytes). 
I was totally ignorant of Mebibytes and they seem to be exactly what I
thought a Megabyte used to be before drive manufacturers decided to
redefine a Megabyte as 1000 kB ( and presumably a kB as 1000 bytes) so
their drives appeared to be bigger [emoji2].
