I’ve always been confused with buffer for I’ve heard the term in many realms including programming (nodejs) and operating systems; plus, “buffering” in video players.
So, is it the same “buffer” everywhere? I mean is it a standard of some kind because it’s been used in many technologies related to computer science.
In: Technology
Simply put, it is storage for data.
So an audio buffer stores bytes of audio signal to be consumed/processed.
And it’s a term generally used for any data.
