Exactly, in a way Debian (or any other distro) is an extended standard library.

This makes little sense. Any popular language with a lax package management culture will have the exact same issue, this has nothing to do with JS itself. I'm actually doing JS quasi exclusively these days, but with a completely differ

Cigarettes could sell at 3-4$ a pack only because some regulation are in place that enforce the total separation of manufacturing and selling those packs from paying the cost for the societal damages wrt. health, pollution, littering... The

Alas, the evolution of societies is dictated by rules that no individual cases, however inspirational, can radically influence. You can teach your kids how to fly a plane, yet gravity is not up to parents.

This contradicts my own experience. As a kid, and probably still now, I was very reluctant to memorise things, for some reason I never understood but that may be connected with distrust of authority. I still remember how long and hard I fo

It can be useful in some cases but can also be a hindrance. First because identifiers are more useful when they allow to actualy identify the thing; and also because now they can change from instance to instance, from customer to customer e

Regarding WebBotauth, I've just skimmed the doc but I don't understand why didn't they have used TLS client certificate instead of this new header? Is it because it's then easier for Cloudflare to strip that header than

Would you mind developing a bit to help us find out if that long reference is relevant or not?

I'm a bit sceptical that we could discover unsuspected geniuses with IQ tests, but I will concede that it could be useful the other way around: to prove to someone, most liekely ourselve, that one is not often as clever as one believe.

I share the feeling about it being impersonal (I've started to doubt its individuality as well). I like to think of consciousness as "the universe observing itself", but that sounds a bit too new-agey.

Most of what you just said makes sense to me, and I believe you are right to draw the attention toward the elephant in the room: quality and variety of ingredients. The reason why I'm writting this reply is this bit: > I’m talking a

Apologizes gladly accepted. But maybe my question was not clearly phrased - it was not "Why are tests bad". You contrasted "doing no harm" with "doing good" and I wanted to ask what good have IQ tests done. Bec

by rixed 1y ago
Yes I'm aware of that, and I had this in mind when I wrote that "IQ tests measure the ability to solve quickly some abstract problems in an exam-like situation." Maybe that was not carefuly worded enough. I am of the opinion

You did not answer my question, which was in good faith; instead you seam to keep using a sarcastic way of discussing that we try to avoid here.

Your definition of an IQ test seems to be so vague as to be meaningless. Last time I passed a job interview, on several rounds of interview not one was about general intelligence, or general knowledge, or general anything. It was about my a

I don't see what harm these tests are doing, but I don't see the good either. Could you elaborate?

If most of your deps are coming from the distro, they are audited already. Typically, I never had to add more than a handful of extra deps in any projects I ever worked on. That's a no brainer to manage.

But there is no latency, as opposed to KittenTTS, so it certainly has its applications too.
