Multiple I think. I believe Thule was the capital of the Greenland Norse civilization, but it's also a local story about a high culture that disappeared.
I prefer Fahrenheit too.

I don't care that 0°C is freezing for water, and 100°C is boiling for water. I am not water, I am a human. I would rather have a system that is human-centric, even if it is "arbitrary". 0°F is about as cold as you can go outside comfortably with a decent coat, and if it's 100°F, that's about the limit of what humans can tolerate too. If it's 100°C outside, you're dead, it's useless to daily experience, and to me, daily experience is far more important.
At the end of the day the scripts being sold are extend script which is interpreted, so pirates can always just open the script with a text editor, go to the "verifyLicence" function and trucate it to "return true". I think it's just not part of the threat model.
Right leaning folks tend to have nationalistic (or at least Anglo-centric) talking points when it comes to the switch. Just in the conversations I've had, people feel like they'd be losing some piece of American culture if we switched. It's a thing.
Many here are pointing out that Coinbase is build on top of scams and doomed to fail once those collapse. I think IPO'ing it was a great dump on the public enriching the founders and investors at the cost of vulnerable and misinformed. It's probably not a scam legally though. Just profiteering from the naive.

I would add Airbnb to the list.. Terrible company generating significant part of its revenue from misrepresentation scams and protecting dishonest hosts by design. The tide is turning on that one as well though as people are catching up to the practices.
At least in the Nordic countries there's a book released every 5 years with a list of all noble families including the very minor ones, and all currently living members of said families, with their crests. There's probably a German equivalent if you look for it and you could find it there.

Without a magic want to force multiple implementations, all of those web apps would have been tied to a single implementation anyway _and_ it would have been harder to update it so even after something was fixed you'd need to wait until the oldest browsers were updated before you could rely on it. That is possible, of course, but it's a recipe for problems with something like a SQL database.
I love metric but the binary logarithmic inches subunits are fantastic for imperial with wood:

Suppose you have a 30 cm piece and you need to evenly space 5 3.5 cm-wide wood planks on the 30cm piece. The decimal calculation will take you to a resolution you likely can't measure confidently (0.25 mm)
Do you have existing ducts? I don't, but rather have existing radiators and piping for hydronic heat distribution.

>"Because the last one uses a multiplication instead of addition, a difference table (which is based on subtraction) won't show the pattern. The inverse of multiplication is division, so use a division table."

Well -- that looks like the problem then!

And the solution -- use a division table -- as you said.

Point is, is that the method shown in the Mathologer video -- does in fact work for every integer sequence defined by polynomials, including some of those that are non-polynomial and involve recursion -- as long as that recursion involves only addition and not multiplication...

In other words, sequence algorithms which are recursive and involve multiplication -- fail.

But then the next question must be -- is there a generalized algorithm for the construction of Mathologer's tables, which creates a subtraction table on the one hand and a divison table on the other?

Which points to the following problem/question:

Given an arbitrary integer sequence -- how can we know that the algorithm that generates it -- uses recursion and multiplication? (without knowing anything else about it -- other than the given sequence of numbers?)

?

>"I don't think you're thinking about these concepts in a useful way."

Define "useful". <g> :-)
And in many situations, I'd agree with those swathes. But when it comes to metric vs. imperial, I'd have to agree that metric is more cohesive and sleek.

It is going to be an agonizing compromise for Sweden - destroy the Kiruna area with extraction (a million tons is a lot) or be environmentally friendly.

Currently the Congo and Chile are being torn apart with toxic dollar a day child labor extraction.

The Swedes will do a good job of mechanizing/sanitizing the process though.

I went to Kiruna once to see the northern lights but they didn't show up.
> hacking towards a goal theres a place for reliability

Yes, but in professional software engineering[1] where the roadmap exceeds 12 weeks, and the cost of a bug is non-zero, and you realize that in software engineering we do far more Reads than Writes to the code), then there are also dominant and dominated strategies[2]. Prototypes should be crafted from large blocks like low/no code solutions or generation... But once we have validation typically this is where good software architecture, and systems architecture come into play. Both the properties of the code that is written eg SOLID[3], and also the emergent properties of a collection of implementations.

All of this feeds into the total ROI of the engineering process. Quality issues lead to both churn[4], and slower roadmap (which means you lose out to competitors). People tend to think that "just make it work" is faster, but time and time again I've seen that only to be true in approximately the 6-12week time span. Hacky is fast until it needs to change, until someone else has to read it, until you realize there is a bug.

As well, it turns out that expertise in doing things well makes you faster the next time you go to do it well. I sometimes wonder if people doing things hacky/poorly is only faster because they've practiced it so many times? Often times well structured code is easier to read/write, fewer lines, easier to test, easier to morph into the next evolution. As we practice coding styles that give us these properties, we get faster at it.

So while yes there are tradeoffs, I don't think there are very many ways to take on lower quality implementation for time speed ups, both short and long run. Yes of course there are features you just don't need (your blog doesnt need to use CRDTs to update your post). And that tends to just having discipline in your Executive/Product team-- only ask for something if you have the research to make you think it will work, and the spine to stick it out to implementation. Engineers can also focus on stopping making bespoke software for prototypes. Pre GA mock ups should probably be using almost entirely light weight proxies for the product -- ui mock ups, generated code, SQLLite/PostgREST, low/no code solutions etc. to get strong data about usage patterns, user's needs etc.

> Why do you prefer having an app running (and owning the sole menu bar) when it has no GUI on screen?

Here's a story from when I was using Windows for work after using Macs for ages. I had one folder in Sublime Text open, and I wanted to close that window and then open another one. So I hit the [X] button in the corner, which closed the window, and then I instinctively went to the global menu bar at the top of the screen to go to 'File › Open' to open my new window. But of course, it wasn't there, because closing the window also got rid of my ability to access the menu bar.

And then I opened Sublime Text again, and it re-opened with the old window I wanted to get rid of.

This is why, like others in this thread, I've grown to really like the application-vs-window separation. Having a menu bar on each window, and having programs close themselves when they get down to zero windows, means I have to do my operations in a certain order (I have to open my second window before I can close the first one, I can't do it in either order) and use a UI hierarchy that I don't think makes sense (I have to use the menu bar of an existing window to open a new window, even though that operation has nothing to do with that window's contents).
It's not.

No, reaction time means the time from noticing the need to brake to the time brake pressue is getting applied.

A bike without an odometer is "true mileage unknown" (TMU) which makes selling/insuring/valuing it somewhat difficult. On a custom chopper that is normal. Many choppers don't even have speedometers. But on a normal bike missing such instruments is seen as a red flag that the bike is stolen and/or made from stolen parts.

> For example, it's awkward to describe someone as 1.83 meters or 183 centimeters tall. It is much easier to describe them as 6 feet 2 inches.

Lol, funny how I'm the exact opposite. When someone says their height in meters I have a pretty good idea of their height, where as for feet, I always have to do maths in my head first. Same for volumes

I wonder if it's just a matter of better familiarity with one system over the other

Recreational power-lifter here.

OHP gains certainly do carry over to bench press though. You can treat bench press as a "heavy" day lift and then use overhead press as a lighter pressing variation (but still go heavy) because there's enough overlap that it'll help your bench but different enough to where going heavy on overhead doesn't impact your bench press recovery.

Example:

Monday: 5 sets 5 reps of bench press.

Wednesday: 3 sets 5 reps of overhead press.

Friday: 1 set 5 reps bench press (trying to get as many reps as you can with good form, and increase the weight for next week depending on how many reps you went past 5)

Another way I've seen it done is something like this A B style workout:

Week A:

Monday - bench
Wednesday - OHP
Friday - bench

Week B:

Monday - OHP
Wednesday - bench
Friday - OHP

Exactly. Another example:

Why is this always seen as harder for US states than European contries? At least all the states speak the same language and federal laws whereas EU has to work with however many languages and a more complex system of laws.
Small installations are pretty simple if you can run the electric yourself. Then just hire an HVAC tech to purge the lines and fill to manufacturer specs. Done. Complex installs with multiple head units per outdoor unit get complicated as you have maximum and minimum line lengths and the length of installed line impacts amount of refrigerant needed and such, takes a good bit of planning and knowledge.
Modern humans are basically hybrid mixes of ancient populations of different types of upward walking intelligent "homo <something>". The large differences in human behavior are a direct result of these varying ancient populations. The political ramifications of this make it difficult to discuss openly. But there is so much evidence coming out from both DNA analysis as well as new fossil bones being found all the time.
This is a real inexperienced take about a codebase with a huge number of contributors and users, with a lot of test coverage, that has a history of addressing P0/P1 issues quickly.

Do you have the same concerns about your compilers? Your web servers? "More code, more liability" is a very sloganeering/cargo-cult take.
Alternatives to PoW are centralization (i.e. Linden Dollars or national currencies) and proof-of-stake (Ethereum).

With centralization, there is the problem of trust. The issuer can just dilute the currency supply, go bankrupt, get bribed, or shut down.

With proof-of-stake, the tokens themselves are used to distribute trust. But during an interruption of service or a network split, if the two subnets diverge, there is no objective way to decide the most legitimate state of the tokens. Choosing the wrong one might end in losing your stake.

It might keep working with long-term trusted peers and reliable networks. But if those peers become centralized enough, they can then be bribed.

Proof-of-work provides an objective and unforgeable measure of legitimacy: work i.e. resources burned.

In absence of a legitimacy measure, the network is vulnerable to Sybil attacks.

The fact you are getting downvoted is simply amazing to me. It shows people are just not ready to look at reality of budgeting. People are honestly under the illusion that debt is just a number and can never get too high. Nothing is forever.

It's important to understand that electrification does not reduce pollution.
It's just a database (not distributed, not replicated), that you can use from your browser-hosted application. What you do with it is up to you.
Because the benefits of switching seem relatively limited for the cost.
Pretty much all parsers have some way to "safely" parse a YAML document which disables the custom-object unmarshal stuff; sometimes this is the default, sometimes not, some libraries/languages don't support this at all in the first place.

If it's enabled, then it's trivial to exploit; e.g. in Python:

!!python/object/apply:os.system
args: ['ls /']

If you parse this with "yaml.load()" in PyYAML (which, I believe, is the most commonly used YAML library for Python) then it will execute that code. You will need to use "yaml.safe_load()".

I believe the situation in Ruby is similar, and in PHP the only way to get any safe sane behaviour is to modify a php.ini setting (which at least defaults to "off" now, but there is no way to know if a line is safe just by looking at the code).

In Go this entire feature isn't supported at all AFAIK, so it's always safe.

Not sure about other languages from the top of my head.
I really should have qualified that with “often”. Of course these are people and can be worked with, but without evolving, they’re worse than under-performers because they create so much stuff that everyone has to deal with.
To be honest it sounds like your schooling set you up for failure for living in the US. Are your speed limit signs not in MPH? Do you not buy your milk in gallons and commonly weigh things in pounds? What volume measuring spoons do you have?

This is not an argument against the metric system; I just cannot imagine foregoing imperial unit education and not having constant conversion pains in adulthood.

When I started out as a junior developer, I was put onto a team of 4 other developers that was building a booking system for a leisure company.

I got the impression that one of the developers on the team was particularly smart because he would lock himself away for a few hours at a time and build something amazingly complex that nobody else really understood.

Ultimately, he only worked well when the application was still in development. When it came to shipping it, a lot of the areas of the application that he had worked on had shortcomings or just didn't work. Fixing them was also difficult because of the complexity, which was always made worse by the frustrating thought of "why the heck didn't he just implement this the simple way?".

The work got hard, and the team crunched to fix the problems. He just resigned and left and found another "greenfield" project to work on somewhere else.

In a way, him leaving ultimately helped the remaining developers - we didn't have to keep his unintelligible, not fit for purpose code.

Now, all of these years later and I'm the lead developer elsewhere. I now often have to politely brush off efforts to introduce needless complexity that developers propose infecting our codebase with.

Writing code is fun, and building a caching system might be fun, but in a working environment you need to deliver what the customer wants and is happy to pay for. If the work being done isn't on that path, it shouldn't be done.

I guess I'm sharing this to say, perhaps those brilliant developers aren't that brilliant.

Actually USA is using the metric system.

They just apply their weird conversions on top of the metric system, but fundamentally they use the definitions of the International System of Units.

E.g. Pound is legally exactly 0.45359237 kilograms where kilogram is defined by setting the Planck constant h exactly to 6.62607015×10^−34 J⋅s (J = kg⋅m2⋅s^−2), given the definitions of the metre and the second.

Previously kilogram was a block of metal stored in France. But the copies of kilogram were diverging and there was no way of knowing where the changes were coming from. So now the kilogram is defined with regard to the physical properties of the universe as opposed to specific object.

E.g. a meter is exactly the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299792458 seconds. Where second is exactly the duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom.
Grooming Detection Part. 3: A Bert Multiclass Model Experiment
The imperial system has a great UX and is as precise as metric so there's no real incentive to change. For science metric makes a lot of sense of course and we use it there (mainly!) and we use it for trade, but for day-to-day use among people, why change? It's very intuitive in terms of unit sizes being very much at human scale. Even when doing woodworking/carpentry, the imperial system is really nice being based on 12 in many aspects. The foot/inch system is great for day to day use. The centimeter is too small and the meter too large, for example.

I also think it's nice that different countries do things differently. It gives you identity and makes the world a more diverse and interesting place. I love that the UK has measurements like "stone" when describing a person's weight and that they use miles per hour for driving and kilograms for buying food and drive on the left side of the road.
We tried a BERT model on our dataset to see if it could properly generalize some grooming features like underage user, sexual content, contact information and real life approach. The results seems pretty encouraging...
Fully agree, but if we put in the groundwork now to be able to connect these cars to give back to the grid now, they can already help in peak load situations.
Once screen producers start advertising their products in metric, the change will come.
Let's hope Firefox starts to support the File System Access API soon.

For me, it is the last missing piece to make web apps as comfortable as native apps.

I use a lot of web apps I fine-tuned exactly to my liking. I do all my writing in this web app for example: https://www.gibney.org/writer - I hit F11 and boom! I am in distraction free writing heaven :)

If Firefox would support the File System Access API, it would be much more comfortable to load and save my writings.

Why would you want to describe somebody as 183 centimeters tall? Even if there is a good reason, it is not a problem at all. It is very easy to understand you mean 1.83 meters. Same way you don't tell the height of a person in inches alone, you normally don't tell it in centimeters.
Webdevs are aware of flaws in their browser so that they have to hack up a bunch of javascript in order to safely login instead of cooperating with the browser developers, which are their employees.

Intercepting a TLS call is dead easy if you are one of the endpoints, namely the client. You can just add your proxy's certificate to the machines valid certs and bobs your uncle. Cert pinning is a thing but it can also be defeated, especially if all the app is doing it to pin cert is asking the OS TLS facilities nicely to pin a cert, because OS TLS facilities are also user-controlled.
