Ok, I like this description a lot actually, it’s a very quick and effective way to explain the effects of no backtracking. A lot of the answers here are either too reductive or too technical to actually make this behavior understandable to a layman. “It just predicts the next word” is easy to forget when the thing makes it so easy to be anthropomorphized subconsciously.
While I believe that nobody should be able to wield that much wealth in the first place, arguably being a world-famous artist is among the least unethical ways to become rich as long as the artistic work isn’t bought from ghostwriters. It takes $10 in net profit from 100m fans to make a billion, and I could easily imagine a sizable crowd of her followers genuinely wanting to give her money like that (whereas, for example, I never would have willingly agreed to give Nestlé’s leadership money, even when I used to buy their brands still).
I don’t care about her specifically, but from a “owning the fruits of your own labor” perspective, I think it makes sense for the art itself to be a big part of that.
…Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can’t remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽
I regularly have those dreams where I am desperately trying to open my eyes because of some danger or other, but they’re suuuper heavy and it doesn’t work. This is that
That isn’t what they asked! They asked about when it is tolerable to use fewer digits and at what point the loss of precision becomes a concern again. Your responses have nothing to do with that question.
There’s no authority that would use a higher number of decimals
Cool, but that still doesn’t answer OP’s question.
The link you provided doesn’t even answer the question because it only tells you what NASA uses and then what would happen if you used no decimals at all. So your answer is not only rude, but also lazy and unhelpful.
The community is called “No Stupid Questions”, maybe you could adjust the tone of your answer accordingly.

If it’s in the minified front end code it’s already client side, of course you don’t show it to the user but they could find out if they wanted to. Server side errors are where you really have to watch out not to give out any details, but then logging them is also easier since it’s already on the server.
Well, I think for a 9 year old it’s fine. I think the stage where you would run into issues is when trying to get into “actual” software development, where the flexibility in scoping and typing afforded by Python can lead to some bad habits (e.g. overusing global/shared variables, declaring them from within functions, catching errors late instead of validating data first, …)
I don’t have a ton of experience with it but I think C# strikes a pretty good balance between strictness and beginner-friendliness. Modern Java isn’t all that bad either, though it doesn’t have very good options for fun things to build. But again, I don’t think this necessarily applies to a child; I’m an educator at a university so both my target audience and point of reference are freshman compsci students.
I was brought up on Python and also do not like it for a variety of reasons, both practical and by personal preference. I also have the opinion that if you are trying to learn software engineering it is not a good language to start out with, despite it being so easy to pick up at first.
Some people try to use Python’s popularity as a counterpoint, and while it does show that my view is a minority opinion, it’s not a very convincing argument for the language itself.
It’s not code anyone is supposed to read or work with, this is the result of minifying it to be as short as possible. And from a quick glance what’s happening is that a variable is set to correspond with whether the cursor is currently over a certain element. Not sure what’s funny about this?
Some people use “race” to mean that, but the word you’d be looking for is ethnicity.

Since at least some legitimate answers are already in, I will just say that I’ve noticed this as well from playing GeoGuessr, and it is definitely limited to only a few countries, I believe mostly in SEA.
Ah got it, millions of people suffering is not a lot, so it must not be a real issue. You’re the worst kind of person.
those people experiencing food insecurity barely make up anything
Then it should be easy to feed them with just a fraction of the food that’s thrown away?? How you could possibly say that and think it helps your point is beyond me.
Currently, as much as 40% of food is thrown away in the US, while millions of people experience food insecurity. The scarcity is fully intentional.
If you were really from Germany, you’d never have given that much personal information up voluntarily!
