Weight and volume were defined based on the meter. Volume is just expressed in m³ or litre, which is just 1/1000 of 1 m³. Mass was originally defined such that 1 kg of water is the mass of one litre of pure water at sea level.

> they wouldn't help with the resizing latency Could'nt you avoid resizing by massively over allocating in the first place? A decent OS, hint Linux, would only map pages to the allocated memory pages once they are touched.

Dependabot should sign it's PRs with a gpg signature. And web interface could get support to check those signatures. That is way more trustworthy than a random green flag in some web ui that changes all the time.
