    By the way, the first patent for a telephone was issued just a tad over 150 years ago.
    Thomson's work on absolute temperature is about a quarter of a century older.

  10. 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 [...]

  13. @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.🤷‍♂️

  21. 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": 😵‍💫🤯

  31. 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.
