Meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in vaccum in 1/299792458th of a second. Then kilogram is defined with a kibble balance. The problem with standaed objects is that it is not fundamental. If the standard decays, the measurements all turn wrong. It is important to associate theese to fundamental constants, which does not change and can be independently measured.

even if "6 feet" is easier to remember than "about 1.8 meters"

Would use 180 cm which is not as hard to remember, with more precision. Also why 6 feet specifically? 160cm becomes 5 and a quarter feet which is pretty messed. My argument here is bad because we are comparing magnitudes of units, which is useful in different scenarios. But i see no problem that is not fixed by dividing or multiplying the current one by powers of ten and calling it centi, kilo, mega, micro, etc.

Not just the scientific computing, but imperial system is harder to learn because there is no specific fashion in the units. How much inch is a foot and how much foot is a yard(?). Actually i don't know thoose they change between 6 and 12 and maybe more different numbers. The thing you are talking about is water's volume, which can make water's density a standard and measure densities of other fluids relative to water. But the conversion factor of 10 is the most advantageous thing which is also simple.

The solver assuming any unit is hilarious. Units must be always specified. You can't take a measurement in terms of some units and then not say the units. There is no point of using exact same units(without scaling) just to be consistent. You are supposed to use different units for different scales.

And that sick fuck insists on 3 space indents in all code

That's why I preffer tabs ;) You can have whatever number of space you want without annoying others. It will be consistent for different setups

Edit: Bunch of typos I wrote while I'm half awake

Convert percentage to fraction, i.e, 80% become 0.8 Then multiply with initial value

If it says 80% more use initial + (initial80) or simply initial1.8

Or if it says 80% less, use - in above calculation or multiply by 0.2

I find percentages more neat when used as fractional number Edited to escape the multiplication symbol

But the problem is that it doesnt always work properly

Well I installed linux the day i bought my first laptop. I just started windows, got bored after sometime, then install fedora KDE because i can't withstand windows issues

The WHAT

Add a little salt

Since debian ships pretty old packages, almost all bug reports are to be sent to debian instead of upstream. The bugs might be already fixed in newer versions, and if not, debian will report it to upsteream. So debian by default disables such reporting and that might be the reason why kde report doesn't work

Pee sus

You can license it GPL though

Then you can't make good software... Reinvent the wheel over and over again

Literally into two peices

What to do with Hachette, Wiley, HarperCollins and PRH

I also now set it to macintosh variant. But can I assign it to right shift instead of alt? I need the alt but there seems to be no option for using shift

By default there was no layout enabled in that option but can add new ones. Anyway thanks for the tips

OOOOh so thats what it is for.. How could i see different levels and assigned keys?

Also I dont exactly know what keyboard layout i am using. It's my laptop's keyboard, with two hp specific keys, numpad, and no menu button or pause break button; if that helps

it was all disabled for me. So now i enabled it and choose the option "Right alt never chooses the third level" and now it works. What actually is the third, second and fifth levels? And why is it enabled even if the entire setting to choose 3rd level key is disabled?

Anyway this solved my issue but still curious on what thoose levels in keyboard are

But that is update and restart. The update is not at all installed and will only install if you restart. And it takes a lot of time. But here it is already installed and you can actually reopen apps ti get them in the updated state

Sign in using irregular accounts then??

Afaik mint just says you have to restart but don't forces you. Iirc it was there to avoud any glitches which could be caused by apps interacting with each other in different versions(say some system app got updated and desktop environment is still the old since its loaded before update then cause gui mismatch due to different versions of ui toolkit)
