    So when my neighbors mother from another climate came to visit during the summer, I was wearing shorts and t-shirts but she a winter jacket. According to whos experience did Fahrenheit match the human experience? It’s very variable and cannot be made to fit everyone. That water freezes at 0 is just as arbitrary but at least it’s an experience/observation anyone can share. If it’s 0°C outside puddles will freeze. Is it warmer or colder than when ice and snow melts is as good a reference as any, and to me having grown up with it, it feels superior because it’s what I’m used to.

    It could easily be argued that weather having to deal in so high numbers is a con for F and the positive negative distinction of C is an easy to understand system of how far from snow are we. As others I don’t believe one is particularly better than the other for the purpose of describing day to day weather. Your arguments ring hollow to me and often seem based on heuristics for F and often with the “close to this value” caveat making it seem like a stretch.



  • It’s probably not, but let’s say that replying to a comment deep in a thread required an update to every parent comment (very unlikely), if the attackers knows this they could trigger that very expensive SQL query many times very quickly by letting some bots comment many times to create a very deep comment chain and force the server to make the queries. If the server didn’t, it would either mean that no one could comment in that way it would have to know what is and isn’t an attack which isn’t easy.
