It really is trivial for "regular" people as everyone has a device in their pocket that can quickly convert to any unit you want (which is an infrequent thing to need in daily life). As for developers, there's lots of changes we could impose on the world to make our (developers) lives easier but easing the burden on developers should rarely be a consideration when considering such changes IMO.
- kuu 7y agoDo you know what is easier and quicker than conversion? No need of conversion.
- falcor84 7y agoWell, by that metric it's about equally trivial for any maths student to solve indefinite integrals (e.g. using Wolfram Alpha), right? It's not that I disagree about the utility of modern technology, but I just think that some things are inherently difficult for humans even if there is a handy oracle to compute them.
