It's true. A number that doesn't end with a zero or a five won't kill you. I've recently come to terms with the fact that nobody will kill me (figuratively) for using precise values in my code if they don't change by increments of five. Numbers are numbers. That's all they are. Responses (paraphrased). Jan 28 - thricegreat: [...] Logically, yes. But I think giving some numbers divinity [...] is good though. teethinvitro: I am perfectionistic with designs (specifically in measurements, almost to a weird level) ... [so] I strive for even-ness in almost everything. Imagine a drawing, geometric painting, or a web page. Divisions of odd numbers can have a beauty as well, even though they could be visibly off. One could even those out to fix the "off-looking" aspects. Technically, a lot of numbers have special importance, especially in geometry, and I wouldn't disagree that I find myself a slave to such perfection, ... but it wouldn't hurt to break notions like that. For example, we can misjudge what is and isn't in a straight line, especially since most of us don't change our angle of vision but instead of the angle of the thing we're looking at ... One may intuitively decide on what looks best if ruler measurements don't "feel" right (but they are). Heck, even this file is a victim to me unnecessarily and manually wrapping words around a certain line length, and I judge that length by eye. thricegreat: ... So is it similar to why I changed the left-right tile size ratio (in a tiling WM) from the divine golden ratio to the simplicity of 1:1? In this case looking good instead of simplicity. teethinvitro: Pretty much.
