5:00 PM

it's just the answer to 'how many flights of stairs must I climb'

Dragonrage

@fredley negative indexing is better

Unionhawk

@fredley I mean I guess our building is kind of dumb because it THREE indexes (with two basement levels labeled 1 and 2)

quartata

Second floor == first ceiling

fredley

Q: Can I flip a WorldEdit selection horizontally?

Is it possible to somehow horizontally rotate a build in world edit??

fredley

5:01 PM

@Dragonrage British floors: -2, -1, G, 1, 2...

@Unionhawk rekt

Americans also don't build 13th floors

Kevin van der Velden

And if you're called trump you just skip a dozen or so floors to make your numbers seem higher

Unionhawk

yes

Dragonrage

@fredley only in one school

Unionhawk

That's actually a true thing

fredley

Quite commonly, afaik

Also no 13th row on planes

Unionhawk

5:02 PM

his tower's residential starts at like, 40 for some reason even though there are only like 20 floors of commercial below it

fredley

For a bunch of christo-nationalists they're pretty superstitious

@Unionhawk Of course it does

Kevin van der Velden

@Unionhawk I mean, I did say it for a reason

murgatroid99

@fredley According to Wikipedia, the superstition might be related to the last supper story, so it is related

Dragonrage

@KevinvanderVelden you couldve said it to be wrong like @uni

Kevin van der Velden

I am not @Uni, he's already taken responsibility for all my wrongs

Dragonrage

5:06 PM

Is @Wipqozn to blame for @Uni always being wrong?

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage probably

Mad Scientist

WTF, there's another pre-announcement of a critical security bug in Drupal core. This is getting seriously annoying

Nzall

@MadScientist So how many is that so far?

Mad Scientist

this is the third of this kind that I've seen. The second was only weeks ago

the first one, Drupalgeddon was exploited automatically a few hours after the announcement

Wipqozn

@MadScientist the Drupal team really needs to get their shit together,. Actually I suppose this is them doing that.

@MadScientist yeah I fixed that the week I left my last job

Ave

5:16 PM

better than being spammed by rhel updates

Mad Scientist

I suspect that the last big one prompted a harder look at the affected part, and they found something else during that

I am responsible for one small Drupal 8 site, and I still help out with a Drupal 6 site, though I'm not officially responsible there anymore.

Wipqozn

@MadScientist Drupal 6 is what the site I fixed was

Does the announcement apply to d6 too?

Mad Scientist

I just blindly applied the community patch there and hoped for the best.

@Wipqozn No, but that doesn't mean anything because D6 doesn't usually get official announcements anymore

Wipqozn

@MadScientist they did it for the last one due to how bad it was

Got a link? I'll pad it along to my old team so they're aware of it

Mad Scientist

@Wipqozn the pre-announcement there didn't mention D6, only the actual announcement did

5:25 PM

@Maximillian Nearly, train station is across the street from the office.

Chippies

@Unionhawk I know this was a while ago, but with celsius, unless you live in a place that never gets cold, you know that anything below 0C = ice on the roads, things freeze, everything changes

Unionhawk

Well, ice on roads is more complicated since that's an air temp/ground temp/is bridge question too

Chippies

but any negative degrees means it's a safe bet there's ice somewhere outside

positive numbers = no ice, negative numbers = ice

negative numbers also mean you are unlikely to have rain (yay), but you are more likely to have snow (boo)

Nzall

@Chippies I wouldn't exactly call this something unique to Celsius. That works just as well with 32F instead of 0C

I mean, if you say "if you go over the speed limit, you run risk of getting fined", then it doesn't matter if the limit is 120 km/h or 80 mph (or whatever the limit in the US is)

same with ice on the roads and temperatures: once the temperature drops below a certain level, ice can form, regardless of how you measure the temperature or what that level is in a particular scale

Ronan

5:44 PM

The point is that 0-100 is a lot easier to remember than 32-212

Nzall

Depends on which one you grew up with

0 is just a number. 32 is just a number

Unionhawk

boiling point of water is just as arbitrary

I literally do not care what temperature water boils at

it boils on the stove

Ronan

Yeah but you might as well have something at the round numbers

Nzall

for normal day it doesn't matter, but scientifically, boiling water is a useful point to have because it's predictable: if water is boiling, you know it's 100C

Maximillian

Uni measures his boiling on a scale of No to Yes.

Unionhawk

5:47 PM

exactly

StrixVaria

@Nzall At what elevation/atmostpheric pressure?

ToxicFrog

@KevinvanderVelden now a few chapters into the last book, still enjoying it

StrixVaria

I think that's a bold statement to make that it's always exactly at 100.

Nzall

at sea level I mean

There is math to work it out into different circumstances

Maximillian

For spherical based Unionhawks in a vaccum.

ToxicFrog

5:48 PM

Although I must say I am Very Unimpressed with [redacted]'s secret final plan

StrixVaria

That's not a terribly useful reference point if you're not at sea level though.

Arperum

@Nzall Also at 1 atmosferic pressure.

Kevin van der Velden

Also pure water

Unionhawk

sea level is approx 1 atm

close enough to anyway

Arperum

@StrixVaria It is very specific though, farhenheit is based on body temperature? and that's different for everyone...

Unionhawk

5:49 PM

Weather depending a but but ehhhhh

Nzall

but my bigger point is that you can then start using that temperature in other measurements. For example, calories are just how much energy you need to raise the temperature of X amount of water by Y degrees

which means you can then use that to determine caloric volume of various products

StrixVaria

@Arperum Not anymore, now it's specifically defined as some actual concrete temperature.

Kevin van der Velden

(i.e. some number of K)

Nzall

it's not completely accurate, but it's a reasonable way to calculate the difference in energy in various sources

Unionhawk

1,000K, 1kK send tweet

StrixVaria

5:51 PM

Is 100C at 1atmosphere the EXACT point at which water boils by definition or is it off by a small amount because tools of the time of its invention weren't precise?

quartata

is this still going on

Unionhawk

idk

Kevin van der Velden

It's also defined from some measure of boiling seawater? Originally I think

Unionhawk

@StrixVaria I mean yes because that's how it is defined

Ronan

@Unionhawk Which is coincidentally 1 furlong fahrenheit

Unionhawk

5:52 PM

afaik

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk That's what I was asking, is that the definition or was that the basis by which we measured to come to some temperature.

Nzall

That was the older measurement. Also, at the time of creation, it was inverse: 0 was boiling, 100 was freezing. it got reversed in the 18th century

Unionhawk

I'm pretty sure freezing and boiling of pure water at standard pressure is definition

Nzall

> He proposed that the zero point of his temperature scale, being the boiling point, would be calibrated at the mean barometric pressure at mean sea level.

@StrixVaria That was the definition point

Because 100 is easy to divide into parts

Wipqozn

@quartata this will be a thing until America converts

SaintWacko

5:55 PM

Can someone ping me?

StrixVaria

@SaintWacko ok

Kevin van der Velden

@SaintWacko No

Unionhawk

SaintWacko

StrixVaria

SaintWacko

It does not

StrixVaria

SaintWacko

StrixVaria

The name of the tab changes to (X) The Bridge if you have pings.

Unionhawk

there's a link that says "enable desktop notification" below stars ->

@Unionhawk What about my wrong?

StrixVaria

@Unionhawk WHAT

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk Ooh! Desktop notifications activated!

How long has that been there?

Unionhawk

idk

a while

Ronan

At least 7 years

Nzall

hilariously though: there is also a scaled called réaumur, which goes from 0 to 80, but then uses 0 as the freezing point of water and 80 as the boiling point of alcohol. Unfortunately, that was lost in translation, so the creators of the thermometers thought that the 80 was the boiling point of water, not alcohol

Réaumur scale

The Réaumur scale French: [ʁe.o.myːʁ] (°Ré, °Re, °r), also known as the "octogesimal division", is a temperature scale for which the freezing and boiling points of water are defined as 0 and 80 degrees respectively. The scale is named for René Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur, who first proposed a similar scale in 1730. == Change in scale == Réaumur’s thermometer contained diluted alcohol (ethanol) and was constructed on the principle of using 0° for the freezing temperature of water, and graduating the tube into degrees, each of which was one-thousandth of the volume contained by the bulb and tube...

Unionhawk

5:59 PM

there's also an abomination Kelvin Except Fahrenheit scale too which why stop

SaintWacko

@Unionhawk Is that the r one?

yeah

@Unionhawk Rankine?

ye

@Nzall Yes

6:00 PM

And then to complete it:

Rømer scale

The Rømer scale (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁœːˀmɐ]; also Roemer) is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who proposed it in 1701. It is based on the freezing point of pure water being 7.5 degrees and the boiling point of water as 60 degrees. == Degree measurements == In this scale, the zero was initially set using freezing brine. The boiling point of water was defined as 60 degrees. Rømer then saw that the freezing point of pure water was roughly one eighth of the way (about 7.5 degrees) between these two points, so he redefined the lower fixed point to be...

SaintWacko

Unionhawk

this is all incredibly silly

and you won't change my mind

and I don't care if I change yours

SaintWacko

We'll call it "Fahrenheit but worse"
