core_ext/numeric/bytes don't respect IEEE 1541 standard
-
Jason Gignac-1 I would argue that while this may be an official standard, the de facto standard is 1024? Most programmers I'd ask, if you said 'how many are in a kilobyte' this is what they'd respond?
-
Justin Baker+1 The man's right, 1024 isn't a multiple of 10, so kilo makes no sense.

@Jason When you buy a hard drive Giga mean 10^9.
On MacOS X in SATA description Giga mean 10^9
Now just type "df" and "df -h" in your shell. It use Gi for Gibia.
On my Debian system G mean 10^9 too.Actually the only system i know which currently consider Giga as 2^30 is Microsoft Windows...
It's not about official or de facto standard, it's about clarity.
But i agree this bug is realy minor, and i don't really care about it's resolution. -
