  • So it’s big and diverse ecosystem with multiple standards to choose between

    The problem isn’t that it’s missing something like cpan, it’s that there are ten incompatible ones to choose between

    Remind me not to learn python. If I get into microcontrollers I shall use their C++ like language not micropython ;)

    I really like the ability to dig up code from twenty years ago and just run it





  • I had a boring job years ago. We didn’t have web access in the office, we did have a typing tutor program

    I could already type

    So I decided to learn to type again

    So now I type on a dvorak layout except for the first login where I must use qwerty. About the time the password expires and must be changed I get to the point where it’s muscle memory in both layouts




  • Does python not require you to include your libraries? How can the runtime environment not tell you “you used whatever library but whatever library isn’t installed” is it then hard to find the library? Does python not have anything like perl’s cpan to consolidate all libraries? Can’t you just grep for the libraries a project calls and loop over the results adding that library to the build environment?

    The words you are looking for are that Fahrenheit is more precise. But it’s not as there are an infinity of numbers between any two integers.

    My thermometer at work which I use for health and safety stuff reports temperature to two decimal places. Had we wanted more precision we could have gone with twenty decimal places. In too big or too small metric units we use multipliers - metres are too small for long distances so we use kilometres (thousands of metres), metres are too big for construction so we use millimetres (thousandths of metres)

    Where Celcius degrees are too big, people (scientists, since whole degrees or a single decimal is enough for everyone else) use milikelvins

    We have proteins in our diets that our body could use intact, however our digestion breaks those down and we absorb the amino acids and rebuild the needed proteins.

    No protein survives digestion. It’s really quite surprising that some prions do survive and fuck us up

    The high end of 0 to 100 is nice for boiling, when I’m making beer at the boiling stage the number on the scale goes from somewhere below 25 to 100 and so the end point is obvious

    We boil water quite a lot, though we often aren’t tracking the temperature

    Most of the time the temperature scale that’s best is the one you know. I don’t know of any case where Fahrenheit is objectively best (like Celcius is when water is involved) but I think the best argument for Celcius is it is used in science, so American scientists start a step behind all the others by having to learn a new system. Given neither have any great advantage I reckon it’s worth America changing to make things better for American scientists

    With the sucking venom out of a bite memes they always warned that you needed good mouth health as the venom getting into your blood through a cut or sore would be dangerous, suggesting that venom could be safely ingested

    Our digestive system is pretty good at talking apart proteins
