There isn’t any great way to do this right now, see github issue here for some discussion. As a quick hack, could do something like this, maintaining a separate dict with the units. In [3]: units = {} In [5]: newcols = [] …: for col in df: …: name, unit = col.split(‘ ‘) …: … Read more
The problem is that it depends on the density. Really, they’re not good measurements to try to compare. Points: There are 12 points in a pica, 6 picas per inch, so 72 (more accurately 72.27) points per inch. Device-Independent Pixels (DP): These will be equal to the pixel size for MDPI displays, 1.5x the pixel … Read more
Quick answer: No, that’s beyond the capabilities of current OCaml type inference. To explain it a bit more: type inference in most functional languages is based on a concept called unification, which is really just a specific way of solving equations. For example, inferring the type of an expression like let f l i j … Read more
Short answer: All memory sizes used by the JVM command line arguments are specified in the traditional binary units, where a kilobyte is 1024 bytes, and the others are increasing powers of 1024. Long answer: This documentation page on the command line arguments says the following applies to all the arguments accepting memory sizes: For … Read more
I argue you should also omit the units. From a programmer’s perspective, 0 == null == none == false, where 0px == 0px only. Which means that if you specify a border width of 0 then no border will be there, but if you specify a 0px border, then a border of 0 px will … Read more
It looks like kelvin. Converting kelvin to celsius is easy: Just subtract 273.15. Looking at the API documentation, if you add &units=metric to your request, you’ll get back celsius.
— UPDATE: You should never actually need to use this function. Sass math is very smart about units, and I have never seen a use-case in which stripping units was a better option than simply using correct math to get what you need. See the Sass issue thread where this has been discussed at length. … Read more
I applaud use of explicit units in scientific computing applications. Using explicit units is analogous brushing your teeth. It adds some tedium up front, but the type safety you get can save a lot of trouble in the long run. Like, say, not crashing $125 million orbiters into planets. You should also probably check out … Read more
