Maybe this software developer hasn't even tried his software on any of the "I'm my own grandpa"-structures.
You'll find numerous variations of this story/song, e.g. Ray Stevens - "I'm My Own Grandpa"[^]. Wikipedia identifies Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe as the ones responsible for the lyrics, but you can find the same story in numerous variations and on different tunes, usually referred to as a 'folk song'. So Latham and Jaffe didn't make it up from nothing; they just wrote down a song/story that was floating around.
25-30 years ago, I was checking out the genealogy programs available at that time. Several of them wouldn't even accept cousin marriage, and certainly not Abraham and Sarah (they had the same father, so they were half-siblings).
Some people are very eager to condemn reality, because they don't like it. Personally, I want the software I create to be able to handle reality, even in cases were I don't like it.

Weather channel says it's currently -37C, feels like -45. The local airport shows a temp of -44C with a wind chill of -54. Not a day for T-shirt and shorts ...

Wow. 45F here right now. (Phila. area) That's supposed to be the high for the day as a polar front is roaring it's way across the state with 50+MPH winds. Ice and snow expected to arrive within the hour.

-37C, feels like -45.
please elaborate on
feels like
it is either -37 or -45 IMHO
|

Wind chill will cause a low temperature to feel lower. The feels like -45 is based on a temperature of -45 with no wind.

IMHO it is not.
120F in Las Vegas is very different than 120F (or even 105F) in Tampa Bay.
And I would much rather be in -5F with a 20 mph wind in the mountains of Colorado than I would be for the same in NYC.

-4 right now, expecting -10 during the night (and when I get up to go to work)
Cold... but not that much if I compare it to you

That depends on how much anti-freeze one drinks...

-2F here currently, with -17F windchill. Not the coldest I've been in, that was -45F almost a decade ago now.

43 here is Houston.
Supposed to get into the teens late Monday and Tuesday.
Speculation.
Not that unusual, but not common.

Not to turn this into a political discussion...but here's what I still don't get about climate change.
People will use this as "proof" (ahem) Earth isn't getting any warmer.
So the global warmites say this isn't how it works...weather isn't climate. Warm places will get warmer. Cold places will get colder. It's an amplification thing.
Yet they insist the Arctic being ice-free is gonna be a normal occurrence.
Well, which is it? The Arctic is cold. If it's gonna colder, it's not gonna become ice-free. But if it's then supposed to become warmer, what about that amplification effect?
Does that really sound like "settled science"? Does that make me a denier?

Not at all. Science has always been questioning about what we think we know about the universe and trying to come up with answers that reliably explain it. Climate is messy. But the general consensus is that the earth is going through a warming period, and the most likely candidate for the change is the rise in CO2 due to human activity. Human activity also leads to a rise in pollutants in the atmosphere, and that contributes to a phenomenon known as Global dimming - Wikipedia. I don't think I've ever seen anything about how the two might be affecting each other. Then there's the theory that if arctic ice continues melting, that will reduce the salinity of the North Atlantic, which will affect ocean currents, as a result of which the Gulf Stream will cease to bring warm water northward. The result of that would be a global ice-age.
So there's a lot of contradictory information out there. It seems to me, that many of the theories about what's going on tend to be a bit "isolationist". That is they only look at what's occurring in that one specific area (e.g. global dimming), without considering how other factors might affect the entire system. Trying to get one's head around everything, and how they all interrelate, is certainly outside my comprehension level.

in my day sonny, we programmed in the snow with our bare hands in minus 55.
HAHA
Actually that sound freakin cold. and this is way I like my office job. I really feel for those people who have to work outside in this weather. ( I greatly appreciate them doing their jobs as well )

Even better if, like me, you work from home. A 5 second commute in whatever you feel like wearing today.
For some reason, your opening sentence reminded me of Alan Turing and working with mercury delay line (MDL) memory. Turing was all about efficiency, and his programs could figure out how long it would take for the MDL to return data, and would continue working on other things until the data was ready. Sort of a (very) early co-routine. Truly an amazing mind.

Pardon my curiosity  ... is -37C "normal" in Canada now ?
|
|
|
|

In this part of the Canada (Edmonton AB), it's not unknown. I seem to recall that as a teenager, we would see -40 most winters. Now, it seems that -35 is more common. Of course, as you go farther north it can get much colder.

That is quite far away from any ocean or major lake, isn't it?
I grew up in an inland town in Norway. The winter air was so dry that you saw humidifiers in ever home. We hardly knew what wind felt like (except when skiing down a hill ). We didn't consider it 'real winter' until the temperature dropped below -20C.
Now I am living in a costal town. The air is usually quite humid, the winds can be strong, and most snow falls when temperature is around freezing, so it is wet and heavy. I am freezing much more here, at 0C, that I did in my home town at -20C. Wind and humidity has a tremendous impact on how cold it feels. The "wind chill factor" is very real for how you feel the cold. (Right now, the weather service reports -11C in my place, but due to the wind it "feels like -18C".
I am not used to -40C, though. We rarely had below -30C in my childhood. Even at -30C we were out romping in the snow. Chilly, sure. But 'cold'? Not if you were properly dressed. We knew how to dress up, and how to behave in the cold.
The biggest danger is not the cold in itself, but not knowing how to handle it. Shipping a Florida man to Edmonton at -40 should be done with care but I have no worries about Canadian natives.
