Yet again we live to witness the miracle of Jesus rising from the dead. Today does not seem to be a good time to live in. Sin is everywhere, the forces of evil seem to dominate, and the world seems to head towards self-destruction. But this is not actually the case. Jesus already defeated Satan, and we only must join the victorious battle. Happy Easter everyone! (And traditionally, I have a gift to all my readers: a Rosary decade for you!)

The easiest way is to just display the integer – size in bytes – but of course this is not very human-friendly. The “right” way should use whichever units fit the number.
