Variation hypothesis actually makes sense from evolutionary point of view: you need as many women as you can get to produce offsprings, but only small number of men suffices to impregnate them all. So men are disposable, therefore they are where the mother nature does its risky experiments.

I don't understand why people have to go cold turkey. That's brutal. When I need to wean off caffeine, I keep Excedrin handy. Yes, it has caffeine. That's the point.

I never get a truly bad headache that way, and it only takes a few days to be completely weaned.

It'd be funny if the organization behind Mensa decided to re-test everybody on account of the COVID pandemic to ensure that their high standards are maintained and that members who drop below the required IQ for entry get culled accordingly. And of course ditto for those reaching a certain age, we would not want any accidental cases of Alzheimers posing as high IQ individuals now, would we?

That's all, no offense or "triggering" (???) intended and apologies if it came across like I was trying to rile you up. Per HN guidelines, you should be taking the strongest form of any argument though, to be fair. Regardless, I think you've gotten your point across and I believe I understand your motivations.

I find passion and fascination leading to a drive to learn better, faster or quicker, depending on the personality. But I harvesting passion in commercial settings is quite disingenuous. Some people don't have that passion and do quite well, they are in fact very rational and calculated and that is a good thing in some ways as well as those who are more passionate about more abstract things, there is room for quite a variety of types of people and they should all be given freedom to use their own qualities and not be forced to fake qualities that they don't have or are unwilling to share with others.

> Most of those terminologies don't come from a general programming paradigm, but are the domain language of specific libraries.

Not really? Most of these concepts can be linked back directly to earlier from CS theory and/or other languages. For example, Redux taking inspiration from FRP and functional lenses, or (most pertinent for this thread) hooks being a facsimile of algebraic effects in JS. As much as I like these concepts in general, I feel some go too far against the grain of what is idiomatic in the language and incur unnecessary friction/spooky action at a distance because of it. For example, here [1] are some well thought-out critiques of hooks and why people struggle with them from experienced JS framework authors.

Dermatology needs a lot of education and is presumably popular with US women, and the top comment is a normal opinion for a highly educated US minority woman.
My opinion is that ultimately IQ is only a measure of performance on IQ tests. There is a positive correlation between IQ and performance in some tasks, but calling someone with a high IQ "smart" or "more intelligent" is a far reach in my experience, which is having an IQ over 179 (I did the test stoned and hungover in order to not score too highly) and being an idiot.

I wonder why the input from the mux has to be “deglitched.” Is it due to noise or that the input lines are not synchronized with the clock?

Also because it’s going to a CMOS input you really need to watch the RC time constant. If it’s too large, the input mosfets will both conduct for a relatively long period of time (called “shoot through”) and may cause the IC to malfunction, potentially permanently.

Also he has no discharge diode connected to the cap in that circuit, which could cause the cap to discharge damaging amounts of current through the IC on power down if the cap is relatively large.

Also you have to make sure the resistor is large enough to avoid damaging inrush currents from the input mux to the cap.

That RC filter really bothers me. Maybe it really is necessary to “deglitch” but if so he should really include the values he used because naively selecting rc values there will cause potentially serious errors. A Schmitt trigger buffer would be far less error prone.
Big Pooh, not happy?
I some times wonder if the IQ of the people that conducts these studies is below average.

30 point of IQ of difference is with the average, an IQ of 70 or less is the IQ of a clinically retarded person. So, if you have 132 IQ, the average person is literally retarded compared to you. If you live in a world surrounded by retards you are going to be depressed and had all sorts of mental issues and a hard time to adapt, because everything is made to accommodate them, all of general society is designed for retards from your perspective.

I feel that addictions are only a problem if they are a problem. As far as we can tell, non-crazy-quantity coffee drinking isn't bad for you, might be helpful for some things, and tastes delicious.

The only downside is that I have to be slightly prepared if I am not going to be able to easily consume my regular doses of caffeine. And if I want to cut/stop, it takes about a week or so to do so comfortably.

As for the glorification, I think it's really a glorification of workaholics, and 'needing coffee to get through yet another pile of TPS Reports' is more a badge of honor than anything else.

Old EPROMS are not very fast. 200 to 250ns access times were common back then, which would limit your clock rate to about 4Mhz or so. Of course you could use a modern NOR flash compatible pinout, which are about 70ns (~14MHz).

Conspiracy thinking is correlated with a lack of logic and critical thinking, which are correlated with high IQ.
What is so special about this? This is the way websites have been doing syntax highlighting before people started using javascript libraries.
In some ways JS is an excellent first language- beyond its broad applicability, it has an extremely "average of all the others" set of features and primary syntaxes. An experienced JS programmer will be conceptually comfortable with Python and Ruby, syntactically comfortable with Java and C, etc.

But in terms of the industry-standard practices/ecosystem, it is a terrible first language if you want to gain a generalized understanding. What you describe here is extremely true; I've seen it in practice:

> any junior programmer getting an introduction through React is going to get a twisted understanding of the language itself

I've talked with otherwise very capable JS devs who have built impressive things with multiple frameworks, but don't have a good handle on fundamental concepts like the difference between the two kinds of function syntax (they may have only ever used one), how Promises behave outside of a narrow subset of situations, what NodeJS actually is (despite having used it), or even the difference between passing by reference vs value.

Many of these frameworks create such a narrow lens into the language itself, add what are effectively (sometimes literally) their own DSLs on top, sprinkle in some magical behavior, and when all is said and done you hardly end up using JS at all.

Obviously there's a benefit from doing things this way or it wouldn't have happened. But I can't help but think the technologies that work well for industry are having a detrimental effect on a generation of new programmers.

That is exactly what I expected.

Because in a certain sense, they attract the same people? Both seem a little bit competitive: One defines their members by IQ and the other by ELO.
I have to disagree with that, I've found GCP docs to be much more informative and easier to digest.
> Second, because China still pretends to be an "undeveloped" country? Come on! How long can this card be played.

Well it is. I dare you to go to China to places where most Chinese wouldn't go.

Half of the country still lives in places you can't twist your tongue to call cities.

China's biggest cities are a prime case of fancy Potemkin villages. It's a state policy to maintain "the face of the country" at any expense, which may includes things as ridiculous as banning motorcycles to not reveal that people don't have money for cars, fining people for using cloth lines if their windows face major streets, or tourists having their photo film confiscated because they shot photos in less than sightly places.

This is much akin to how USSR ran a showy semblance of a civilized life in Moscow, at an enormous expense to its economy, to rather successfully fool the West into believing in USSR's relative prosperity.

If you think that ideology talks is what sets off thin skinned Chinese political establishment, then you haven't seen their reaction when somebody evokes the gravest insult of calling them poor.
Basically, yes. In practice, there's a bit more to it. The user code is wrapped into an "async function(input)" (so you can use async/await) and run inside a worker inside a sandboxed iframe (for security reasons and for being able to stop the execution). There's also some additional code for catching errors and parsing the error stack.

So, first, Mensa groups vary considerably across countries (US has many people that seek some activity after retirement; in Hong Kong some seem to be attracted by the mensa email they can put on their CV; in Germany it seems a fairly mixed bunch, many of which are bored in their parochial hometown).

But I thought membership was well worth it. Discussions about random arcane topics, meetings and conferences, contacts when traveling, dating, a fairly open and tolerant social circle, etc.
