Is it really. I'd love to see the data. You see, I find it incredibly unlikely you can flatly correlate IQ across all its range with "measures of success". I totally buy that having IQ below, say, 95, is bad news for you in l

High intelligence is not strongly correlated with success, in fact it's unfortunately correlated with things like increased chance of depression and suicide. Very high intelligence often comes as a result of some other deficiency in th

People don't like it because medical terminology tends to morph in the public dictionary as a caricature of the original meaning. A psychopath doesn't mean an evil person with delusions who committed significant crimes. We have so

Seems like a "before" and "after" fields would serve users better, but I do understand the use case.

Yeah I'd say "1 to 5" is a "log, discretized scale". :-) Anyway, I don't mean all my assertions to be correct, the scale was tongue in cheek for example. I hope to promote interesting debate. IQ, BTW, is a fund

We can technically offer the users Nth page with cursors+offset hybrid, if we're fine with the computational demands (smaller than pure offset, but bigger than just prev|next|last). Let's say we want to offer the user 5 pages, 100

I can't think of anything where have more to infinity is always better. At some point your need is satiated and starts becoming a detriment. You're welcome to bring examples, but I've found often those examples don't con

Most variables of life have a peak usefulness in some amount and then it falls off on both sides. This means applying more "grit" is useful in life, until some point where more grit becomes less useful. To make things more complic

You don't need to understand every implementation detail of a technology to solve problems, you need to understand the abstraction it exposes. In this case HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 expose the same abstraction that HTTP/1.1 expo

New features get introduced, and old features slowly get dropped as they cease to be used. All seems fine.

I don't know why you seem to completely disregard the idea of libraries and abstractions outside the OS kernel. Your HTTP library can hide the complexity of HTTP/3 from you and give you HTTP/1.1 style streams to deal with, WI

Not sure what you cover by "NPC objects" but they easily can participate in physics and AI as well (or at least basic scripted behavior). Also significant game state is not only represented by renderable content.

To be honest it makes sense for it. It means if something (a library, browser API etc.) has no type, you can write an interface for it and hint for it, without depending on anything else. You can think about the structural type as a hash ch

Sorry, you're right. I was thinking about "instanceof" which is a native JS feature, and it matches classes nominally.

You keep saying they need original content people can watch. I don't know how many times I can explain the notion of "original content" loses meaning without IP rights. Original content is an incentive because only the produc

It's a simple correlation. Our brain does this all the time. And not always in sense of "better quality" -> "smarter". For example, we're so used to cheap TV content, that when a movie is played at higher TV
