hm.. it seems like I won't use this service for a while as I got the following error message while starting IntelliJ today: You've reached your monthly code completion limit. Upgrade your plan to Copilot Pro (30-day Free Trial) or wait until -4712-01-01 for your limit to reset to continue coding with GitHub Copilot.


Wow 4712 BCE was when the pyramids were new and shiny. Just kidding, it turns out it was the first Julian day. Got some help here:

January 1, 4713 BCE marks the beginning of the Julian Day count. This system was introduced by Joseph Scaliger in 1583 CE.

Scaliger selected 4713 BCE as the starting point because it is the nearest date where three cycles—solar, lunar, and Roman indiction—coincide. These cycles are:

The 28-year solar cycle.

The 19-year Metonic lunar cycle.

The 15-year Roman indiction cycle.
