08:57:55_BilgusI think both are acceptable in disks and memory its just do you want to define a byte as 1000 or 1024 and disks are usually 1000, I think the GiB versions came around ~99??
08:59:18CH23it's more that if you use one value, but use the markings of the other value, it's not right
09:00
09:00:21_BilgusIIRC linux uses 1000 bytes and windows uses 1024 or maybe I have that reversed
09:00:35 Join petur [0] (~petur@rockbox/developer/petur)
09:03:29CH231024 byte equals 1 kibibyte
09:06:42_Bilguson windows my 8gb flash drive is 7.38GB on linux it is 7.9GB
09:07:52***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
09:07:54CH23my micro SD has a total capacity of 197GB, which is 183.471 GiB, and rockbox tells me it has a 183GB capacity. changing the locale should make it right
09:08:41_Bilgussounds nitpicky to me..
09:08:53CH23it's 2 different measurements
09:09:03_Bilgusbut both are accepted
09:09:04CH23it's like saying 2 inch is 2 dm
09:09:49_Bilgusits like saying we sell footlong subway subs but they are nominally 11.2 inches
09:10:35CH23if 1 GB equalled 1 GiB, sure.
09:13:40copperI don't think that debate will ever end
09:13:45_Bilgusin disks and memory it does
09:13:51copperwhat
09:14:13copper1 GB is never equal to 1 GiB
09:14:27copperyou can say that you don't care, but you can't say they are the same, ever
09:14:33_Bilgusin the fine print 1GB = 1 billion bytes
09:15:03_BilgusI'm saying in the marketing sense not in real bytes
09:15:28copperthey are wrong
09:16:16_Bilgussure but its been that way for what .. ever?
09:16:29copperdoesn't mean we shouldn't correct a wrong
09:16:31copperer
09:16:33copperright a wrong
09:17:06copperespecially on a somewhat technical, hobbyist project
09:17:58copperit doesn't cost anything to display the correct unit prefix and I don't think people would be confused by the use of binary prefixes
09:18:07coppereveryone will understand what 1 GiB is
09:18:37[Saint]I'm sorry, what?
09:19:04copperhi there!
09:19:11[Saint]Why in the name of any deity you hold dear should this be governed by the locale?
09:19:27[Saint]I mean...what?!?
09:19:33copperyeah that doesn't sound right
09:19:37copperwell
09:19:43[Saint]It's not. That's why. ;)

09:19:57_BilgusI think if I were to change it I'd keep it GB so we don't have to add KiB, Gib, Mib
09:20:23[Saint]Hah, I was just typing that _Bilgus
09:20:32[Saint]Not A Bug: ship it
09:20:49[Saint]Oh, we already did, that's progress!
09:22:17copperwait
09:22:24copperis Rockbox localized?
09:22:51copperI've always run it in English
09:23:20[Saint]Yes.
09:23:23_Bilguseven rtl languages
09:23:32copperdang
09:23:46[Saint]We even have theme support for it.
09:23:48_Bilgusthere is a metric fucktonne of logic going into localization
09:24:07copper[Saint]: that I know, from your funky lines of theme markup ;-)
09:24:28copper_Bilgus: are you sure it's a metric fucktonne and not an imperial fuckton?
09:24:34_Bilgussee.
09:24:37copper:)
09:24:40[Saint]Sx(string_in_english_lang) automatically translates to the locale or fallback to english if untranslated.
09:25:00[Saint]Cabbie uses it for "of"
09:26:03 Join TheLemonMan [0] (~lemonboy@irssi/staff/TheLemonMan)
09:29:28[Saint]RTL support is pretty screwy. There's a lot of niche cases where it can go wrong. But it "works".
09:30:20[Saint]Significantly more so if the theme author put some forethought into it, but it's an easy case to miss. I wouldn't blame anyone for it.
09:31:43[Saint]Not flipping bar fill direction before that was done automatically was a fairly common bug reported against it for a while.
09:32:25[Saint]Now when it does pop up it's usually symbols in the wrong places because people forget about them.
09:33:22[Saint]So (in RTL equivalent) it ends up being %100 and dB70- kinda shit.

09:34:30_Bilgusso if you all want GB to == 1000 bytes you need to go through and scale evrything in fixed point (GiB * 1074) /1000 and you need to make sure you change every instance because a lack of consistency would be worse than it is currently
09:35:19_Bilgusconsistently wrong is better than a mixed format throught
09:36:28_Bilgusbut personally I can't really see why it matters
09:39:51copperno-one really counts filesizes in powers of 10
09:40:01copper*that* would be confusing
09:40:27_BilgusI know kB and KB are accepted ways of signifying the two I wonder if gB and GB are accepted forms as well
09:40:38copperno
09:40:55copperk is a standard prefix from the internal system of units

09:42:10_BilgusI'm well aware of metric prefixes
09:42:15copperThis debate is really annoying. There are standards for this.
09:43:34_BilgusIf i were truly worried about something like this I think we should put on the main page 1GB = 1 billion bytes and be done with it
09:43:53coppernot if you report 1 GiB as 1 GB
09:44:26copperI don't know why everyone is still stuck with the old ways
09:44:43copperit's not complicated, it's not confusing, it's not hard
09:44:53_BilgusOh I guess it wasn't 99 it was december of 1998

09:57:48copperthat's pretty… COLD, if you ask me!
09:58:48[Saint]I find it pretty fitting to have a Frenchy in this discussion. Lord knows what we'd be using if you guys didn't say "fuck it, let's get on the same page".
09:59:10[Saint]I often wonder about what would be were it not for the formation of SI.

10:29:42_BilgusI think (val * 1074) /1000 is better but if it works
10:30:29gevaertsThat would give a wrong answer!
10:30:53*[Saint] maintains this is true as well
10:31:11_Bilgussorry backwards
10:31:52*gevaerts mostly saw the 1074 :)
10:31:59[Saint]Well, I meant that on two levels. If it was right it would *still* give the wrong answer.
10:32:31[Saint]"right" to me is "do precisely nothing".
10:32:42[Saint]But that's understandably contentious.
10:33:14_Bilgusanyways just pass false and GB will be 'proper'
10:33:55[Saint].ie wrong
10:33:58[Saint]:p
10:34:49[Saint]Whatever happens at least we all agree that the locale has zero business governing that behavior.
10:35:33[Saint]I'm genuinely against switches for the sake of switches but this *might* be the kinda thing we should offer via a developer setting.
10:36:25_BilgusIdk I come from a time when 1024 was a byte

15:59:27_BilgusI'm pretty sure one of us has GB and GiB backwards if you think that is wrong too
16:00
16:03:19pamauryGB = 10^9 bytes but GiB = 1024^3 = 2^30 bytes, no?
16:03:57pamauryif you do the math, it gives 1GiB = 1.073 GB
16:05:01_BilgusThtas what I thought but I'm beginning to question my sanity
16:05:40pamaurythat's the theory at least, the KiB, GiB, etc prefixes were standardized and are unambiguous.
16:06:23pamaurythe problem is that KB , MB and GB are ambiguous
16:06:59pamaurythey typically are powers of 10 for disks and a random mix of powers of 10 and powers of 2 for everyone else
16:06:59_Bilgusyes that is what this all started over :p
16:08:26pamaurywhat was the reason for this debate?
16:09:54pamauryit seems to me the debate is simple: if you use GiB, you are bound to use powers of 2, if you use GB, you are free to use whatever you want to provide the best possible confusion

16:15:31_BilgusIt is true that the RB info menu is using 1024^3 to signify GB
16:16:33pamaurywe could change it to GiB so be more precise, if it really bothers some people
16:17:54_Bilgusmy point was then we need MiB KiB so be better to change it to 10^9 bytes
16:18:27_Bilgusor just leave it alone, windows did

17:06:47copper_Bilgus: yes I know but 1) you're using a float to produce an int, and 2) that value works only for GiB; there's still KiB and MiB to deal with
17:07:09copperdoing the conversion that way is the wrong way
17:08:00copperThe right solution is to use binary units because that's what everyone expects, and thus use the right prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB)

17:19:39copperDuh.
17:20:25copperObviously. My question was, is it a user setting or are there places where Rockbox uses powers of ten and other places where it uses powers of two?
17:20:43_Bilgusyes
17:20:59copperThat wasn't a yes or no question.
17:21:40copperI can't tell what you're replying yes to?
17:22:44_Bilgusnot a user setting as far as I know and yes rb uses 10^ and 2^
