What matters is just grabbing some pitchforks and cancelling someone.

1. Amount of environmental sunlight (latitude).

2. Amount of circumstantial exposure to sunlight (lifestyle).

If the assumption is that early humans have lived more outdoors than sitting in caves all day like the modern human does in practice, then yes they'll have darker skin overall.

Is it racist to just state basic facts, or should we brainwash everything to be uniform and average across time and space?

Think about it like the tempo of a song. The entire orchestra needs to play in sync with the tempo, but how many notes you play relative to the tempo is still up to each player. You can play multiple notes per "tempo tick".

Programming is like working in a team. You try to communicate with your teammates, and then everyone does what they can according to their skills, and how they understood the task.

The shift to higher-level communication in programming is inevitable, will it look like Copilot, I don't know.

Copilot is definitely no replacement for anything except copying from Stack Overflow for juniors.

But in the long run, AI is us basically us creating our own replacement. As a species. We don't realize it yet. It'll be really funny in retrospective. Too bad I probably won't be alive to see it.

In practice a double is 15.6 digits precise, which Excel rounds to 15 to eliminate some weirdness.

In their documentation they do cite their number type as 15 digit precision type. Ergo that's the semantic they've settled on.

Ruby on Rails was advertised as so simple, startup founders who can't program were making their entire products in it in a few days, with zero experience. As if.

Everyone's self-preservation instincts kicking in to attack Copilot is kinda amusing to watch.

Copilot is not supposed to produce excellent code. It's not even supposed to produce final code, period. It produces suggestions to speed you up, and it's on you to weed out stupid shit, which is INEVITABLE.

As a side note, Excel also uses floats for currency, so best practice and real world have a huge gap in-between as usual.

So they're very aggressive to introducing "app-like" APIs to Chrome even often at the expensive of user experience, performance and security.

As you said, their very goal is turning the web into ChromeOS. And the web is everywhere.

Honestly, that's NOT a good thing for the future of either the web or applications.

As for bijective base 10, it's interesting, but it's still not the base 10 we're using, so we can't quite blame this on our fingers.

And no, arbitrary join expressions are not a feature that "haunts" SQL databases, because unlike graph databases, relational databases ARE built for that, and it's one of the primary reasons SQL databases are very resilient to change in face of constantly changing ad-hoc query requirements. And it's an important feature of relational algebra that is used every day by countless applications.

SQL and GraphQL serve different purposes at different application layers. Both do precisely what they have to do. The fact they're a bit similar is not coincidental, but also they're not mutually replaceable.

While I don't shout at tech support, as I know what the script is, you better believe my blood is quietly boiling as I'm rebooting various devices that have nothing to do with the issue on their instruction, just so I can get to an appointment with technicians to fix my real issue.

Same thing occurs with GP doctors, and basically every other system in tiers, where it inevitably organizes to basically stall you, so people don't overload the higher tiers.

This happens a lot, I find. People just hate having no answer for you. So they make up one.
