But they didn’t say “stemmed”. They said “stemming”. But sure, they’re technically correct in a historical context. I wanted to be more precise about the current definition. Under that current definition, it’s actually degree Celsius that stems from Kelvin.

Certain ones get used a lot, like centimeters and dekapascals.

No, it’s ultimately defined in joules.

every 1 K change of thermodynamic temperature corresponds to a change in the thermal energy, kBT, of exactly 1.380649×10−23 joules.

• Hectograms - 100 grams
• Dekagrams - 10 grams
• Decigrams - .1 grams
• Centigrams - .01 grams

The original Fahrenheit system was actually pretty clever. It set 0° at the temperature of brine and 96° at internal body temperature. That made marking a thermometer really easy. Like, ridiculously easy. 96 is divisible by two many times before reaching a decimal.

Because the freezing temperature of water was really close to 32°, the later Fahrenheit system set that as the lower temperature and 212° as the boiling point instead of using body temperature. That made marking a thermometer more difficult, and basically took away Fahrenheit’s only advantage. It was more consistent though. Now Fahrenheit is formally defined based on Kelvin.

Centigrade was originally marked as 100° at the freezing temperature, going down as temperature increases to 0° at the boiling temperature. Obviously that didn’t last long. The downside is that marking a Celsius thermometer depended on atmospheric pressure. Now Celsius is defined based on Kelvin by -273.15° being absolute zero and a degree corresponding to a very specific amount of heat energy increase.

So yeah, Fahrenheit hasn’t made any sense for many many years.

Nintendo:

And the players should win this case. It’s pretty obviously true that Nintendo would be recovering tariff money twice.

The window frame is above where we can see, outside of the frame of the picture.

I think maybe you’re seeing the crease in the door and thinking that’s where the door meets the window, but that’s just a decorative crease.

There is no window in that photo. The photo shows the bottom half of the door, below where the window would be.

Makes perfect sense for a space rocket company.

Also, there’s no way I’m letting Mecha Hitler write my code.

You ever see Transformers?

This looks nothing like AI slop. It’s the bottom half of the door.

I think we’re old.

This is so dumb. Of course you can run an app coded by your friend. Either your friend can pay $100 a year to notarize their app, or you can pay $100 a year to run his app as a developer. Couldn’t be easier.

Edit: apparently I need to add /s. I figured this was a stupid enough take that it was obvious.

Good lord. That dude’s packing a fire hose.

You replied to me, man. xD

Ah, ok. This is a conversation about Linux, so that doesn’t apply. Linux is open source, so it wouldn’t matter if someone wanted to enforce a EULA, anyone else could just take the source and do what they want with it.

Linux is open source.

Generating code costs a lot of money, as does the expertise to review the code. People aren’t going to want to spend the many millions of dollars to do that when they could use a GPL kernel. Of course if the kernel is not only free, but basically public domain, it solves all of their problems. They can modify it and keep those modifications closed source, the complete antithesis of what the GPL stands for.

Sure, but if it’s open source, I can just take that code without agreeing to your contract. Since it’s public domain, I can do whatever I want with it. You can only enforce a contract if I agree to it.
