Opening statement is doing a disservice. Most parts of the world racism is defined on language/cultural maps, not literally black and white skin. For example the Rwandan genocide, is based on ethnic clashes where all people there have the same literal skin color. But they are part of different ethnicities.

Then you have the bosnian genocide, same skin color and even language. But culturally they were different enough for some other humans to target.

I hope one of the rich Arab gulf states try to build roads designed for self driving. Would be a spectacle to see and they are probably the only ones who could fund it.

> Ensure your child is happy and healthy. Those are the most important measurements.

A cat, a goldfish or even a houseplant are 'healthy and happy'.

I'm hoping we as human beings strive to move beyond a simple vegetable existence.

Being unhappy causes a variety of issues that effect your cognitive ability. Humans simply perform better when they are happy.

So basically Pro and Team are the same now?

Edit: The FAQ points to Github product page [1] which list GitHub Team having 10K Actions instead.

So... wouldn't this mean GitHub Team with a single user is better than GitHub pro?

I'm failing to see how power and speed differ in a computing context.

CPU wise PS4 is weaker and slower, no matter how you frame it. Maybe on the GPU side you could make an argument for that difference, but still.

Either way, seems like a strong move forward for gaming.

Well the article explains what they mean by power and speed. The PS5's novel approach to storage will drive high quality real time texture streaming to games.

Considering neither is the language I use for work, but just as a hobby, I often forget how to write code in these languages after a while. The amount of time to get back on track to write idiomatic OCaml is almost instantaneous as opposed to Haskell.

Disclaimer: I've written far more OCaml code than Haskell, so maybe my opinion may be biased.

I like to liken it with muscle atrophy. Gotta get my weekly fix of Haskell to maintain it!
