Feeb is not DFS. Both are funny, but not in the same way. DFS keep his
pseudo. Feeb changes it a lot of times: from Fabian Russel to Diego
Garcia including Nux Vomica among others. DFS is a Windows fanboy who
knows about programming, Linux and Windows. Feeb knows nothing about
everything, he's a Windows fanboy pretending being a Linux fanboy who
tries to make believe every Linux fanboys are first class morons as him.
Sorting a list of names would be needed for a dropdown,
letter or word counts are usually used to limit how much text a user can
input, and averages are useful for any kind of data summary.
And here, it's only an English forum. When you want to sort the names of
your CD albums, it can become tricky. For example how do you take care
of the letters with diacritics signs? How do you include Cyrillic
letters ? Or the Arabic or Jews letter which are written from right to
left? You can have a lot of fun with something which looks like a simple
problem.
In the real world, very few problems have "already been coded". Which is why
people who proclaim that "AI" is going to make programmers "obsolete" have no
GD clue what they are talking about.

Yeah, AI is very very annoying and not a good replacement for coders.
No, AI is not boring, what's done with it is impressive. Of course, if
you try to do things for which it was not designed, it wont work. It's
like trying to cross the ocean with a car: it will drown. It doesn't
mean the cars are useless, it means you need to use them for what they
were designed.
It's the same with AI. For now, they can't replace programmers, it
doesn't mean they are useless. For things like translation, they are
impressive. For programmers, they can be used as help, for example if
you don't remember an algorithm. They can't correct a bug, they can
program some little scripts.
