Let’s start with Schengen zone membership and see how we feel after that. The currency would be a hard sell.

That is a weird argument. TBH there are only like six ACTUAL temperatures: fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fuckin’ cold. Everything else is paperwork and doesn’t really inform your day to day. The difference between say 30 and 29C is maybe undoing a button on your shirt.

One quibble - it fully ignores humidity, as does C. The subjective feel of a climate doesn’t depend only on temperature. 50% humidity at 10C is very different from 50% at 40C.

Subjectively? I only really think there are like six temperatures. Fucking hot, hot, warm, cool, cold, fucking cold. My clothing choices change at each stage of that scale.

Just because F encapsulates that in a positive integer 1-100 scale doesn’t really make it appeal to me. C feels much more natural, more human, because you’re not dealing with ludicrously small increments that don’t matter for day to day use, and the 0-30 captures almost all temperatures you’re going to actually see day to day.

It irks me that people are trying to turn their personal prejudices and habits into like, objective universal laws.

There are very few places that experience -17C and 40C for that to be really useful. And I don’t get it at all. 0 is cold, 30 is hot. Not a difficult concept.

Intuition is entirely based on familiarity.

Punch buggy. No punch backs.

FVO readable for future me, it’s not so bad. I don’t have to worry about other people so much. :)

Sure. Nothing stopping you writing readable well commented perl. Just avoid some of the more terse statements. It can be a challenge though.

Shrug. If you don’t like Perl, don’t use it.

It certainly has its issues. I find that the things people have trouble with are the things I tend to like about it. Of course, reading it later is a problem sometimes. :)

Write only language!

I still reach for it sometimes.

heheh. I wasn’t really making an argument though

perl -e 'print "fart\n" if 1;'

Argument?

If this were Facebook I would say this is a bot harvesting user locations for advertising profiles…

It’s kinda natural to me having used Perl a lot.

I hear “Yahoo Answers” is available.

Or a manky Signal clone with backdoors transmitting everything in plain text…

Honestly I don’t care enough. If I happen to be in the interface I’ll probably turn it off, sure. It doesn’t inform any decisions, I barely register that the number exists.

Perhaps not. My subjective experience of my Withings scale is that the reported fat percentage has at least remained where I’ve expected given my general activity level. ie, fat percentage goes up when I’m sedentary, down when I’m active.

But it’s more a curiosity than a useful metric regardless.

They’re not accurate but I think they can at least track trends consistently. A clock that’s five hours ahead still tells you how much time has passed relative to itself. Similarly a scale might tell you what direction your fat level is trending.

Wouldn’t the authentication API provided by your DNS host be the ACME server?
