tbf perl nerds still are some of the nerdiest of nerds

If an infinite number of monkeys handed you an infinite number of books, how would you figure out which one is the one you are looking for?

Bump it up to 16 GB of RAM.

Other than that, I think the base specs are fine. iOS app development isn’t nearly as heavy as it used to be now that Macs and iPhones share similar SoCs.

I’m used to both, which is why I have come to prefer both for different applications.

These numbers feel arbitrary to me, while a scale of 0 to 100 feels very intuitive.

The only “arbitrary” number to remember in Fahrenheit when talking about weather is the freezing point, 32 degrees.

It’s the natural intuitiveness of 0-100 scales that also makes me prefer Celsius for non-weather applications, since the phase changes of water become more important when talking about cooking or chemistry.

So you’re saying I have to take up an entirely new hobby I have no interest in just to dispose of my used engine oil?

I will be controversial and say that I think Fahrenheit makes more sense when talking about the weather. Its scale simply makes more sense on human terms: 0 is fucking cold, 100 is fucking hot. This is about the tempurature range you can expect to experience between winter and summer throughout much of the world.

Celsius makes more sense for cooking (and everything else) since its scale is calibrated around the phase changes of water.

I did not expect so many upvoted poacher sympathizers in this thread. I am disappointed.

Poachers aren’t poor. They make assloads of money off their illegitimate trade. They have plenty of skills that could be put to profitable use elsewhere. They simply choose poaching because it is more profitable.

It’s easier to build charging stations when we already have a massive grid for distributing electricity. We have no such infrastructure in place for distributing hydrogen. Producing hydrogen cleanly and efficiently is still a hard problem we haven’t really solved.

Hydrogen trades volumetric energy density for gravimetric energy density. It is too difficult to build a car that can safely hold a reasonable amount of hydrogen without making it bigger or sacrificing cargo space, and building a distribution network on the same scale as gasoline is a problem we still have no idea how to solve.

I think hydrogen will be much more viable in shipping, where these problems are much less pronounced. Big trucks and container ships are less concerned with volume (weight is more important). And they move along common and predictable routes meaning you don’t need quite so many hydrogen gas stations. You distribution just needs to cover truck stops and ports.

Bay of Biscay? Pretty sneaky filling it in to look like part of the landmass instead of the ocean.
