The only usable ByteCountFormatStyle is decimal

Swift makes it relatively easy to format numbers as byte counts, with appropriate suffixes to indicate units and generally sensible auto-selection of scale factors. e.g.:

1234.formatted(.byteCount(style: .decimal))

1 kB(in English - results may vary depending on locale)

This is just a small subset of Swift's FormatStyle-based formatting capabilities, with which I have a bit of a love-hate relationship even when they're working correctly.

Alas, they don't always work correctly; some of [...]

@rgs And that's why there's no global set of units in Coocook:
everyone like "I'm going to build my own recipe collection with teaspoons and ounces!" #Futurama

You are free to use pounds, "fluid ounces", pinches and what not in your project.🤷‍♂️

Canadian friends, you use all kinds of units. Are you able to convert all of them or is the weight of a human a total different scale to you than a horse or a pack if flour? #units #imperialSystem #SIUnits

Dinge, die meinen inneren Ingenieur in den Wahnsinn treiben:

Geschwindigkeit: Einheit m/s
Beschleunigung = Geschwindigkeit [m/s] pro Zeit [s]: Einheit [m/s^2]
Kraft = Masse [kg] mal Beschleunigung [m/s^2]: Einheit Newton [N] = kg*m/s^2
Arbeit = Kraft [N] mal Weg [m]: Einheit Joule [J] = kg*m^2/s^2
Leistung = Arbeit [J] pro Zeit [s]: J/s = Einheit Watt [W] = kg*m^2/s^3

"um die Geschwindigkeit zu messen, mit der Arbeit verrichtet wird": 😵‍💫🤯

The Earth weighs about six ronnagram, Jupiter about two quettagram and the diameter of the observable universe is about one ronnametre. Those are the new SI prefixes representing ronna (10^27) and quetta (10^30).

At the other end you have the ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30). A ronto is useful for expressing the flux density of a radio emission (Jansky) which is 10^-26 Watts Metre^-2 Hertz^-1.
