As a musician this hits way too hard

I always wondered if it was just me struggling with this. I take solace in knowing I am not the only one

I've just updated the currency conversion rates for GNU Units. It's as simple as running the `units_cur` command (with root privileges). Now I won't have to search the internet how much X USD means in INR.

Of course, Units also supports other useful conversions like Fahrenheit to Celsius, miles to km and pounds to kg.

Very useful!

Got a new #laundry basket yesterday, which came marked in one of the most useful and ubiquitous #units of #measurement, the bushel. 1.75 of them. That's almost 62 liters, for people in civilized #metric lands.

My Phellow Pharo #Programmers who write scientific #software, do have a look at the Units package, which can safely perform mixed-unit computations like the following to obtain the correct result \(63.21 ft\):

\(\texttt{14foot + 15m.}\)

The NASA-Lockheed Mars Climate Orbiter catastrophe could have been avoided, had the probe control software been implemented in Smalltalk.🤣

Parsing CSV with units in the header · Issue #166 · hgrecco/pint-pandas

https://github.com/hgrecco/pint-pandas/issues/166

Now we can read a #csv file with a header like `time / s,mass / g` into #pandas and call `.pint.quantify()` to get a #dataframe in which the columns have #units as in #Pints !

Handy for CSV restricted to single-row headers, as in Confluence Databases and Microsoft Lists.

Another one:

#CNN, writing about a secret base under the snow, say it was about 8 metres under the surface, but they convert it precisly to 26.2 feet.

About 26.2 feet? Idiotic.

_The Evening Post_, 19 February 1925:
THE STEAM COACH
FOR USE ON HUTT LINE
ALTERATIONS BEING EFFECTED
The commencement of the more frequent and faster railway service between #Wellington and Lower Hutt by means of the new Sentinel steam coach, which the Department has been testing, has been delayed through the necessity for minor alterations to the carriage, but these are now almost completed, and it is expected that the new service will be started as soon as the coach is again ready for the rails—in a few days’ time. The … Department proposes at first to utilise the coach for intermediate trips between the trains arranged on the present time-table.
The second steam coach … will not be consigned until the second week in April. Another coach on the same principle as that about to be put into commission, but petrol driven instead of steam-driven, has been constructed in New Zealand, and is now undergoing tests in the South Island. The Department also has on order another up-to-date motor-coach, which is expected to arrive from the United States in a few weeks.

Something I've always wondered - when vets / zoologists / #wildlife organisations in #Canada weigh a #besr - is this weight recorded in #metric (kg) or #imperial (lbs) #units ? 🐻

Finally! This is how it should be. Leave the decision to the user.
