There's two major sources of confusion in IT:
- caching
- giving variables names
- off-by-one errors

That reminds me of: Two threads a bar walk into.
And those who can extrapolate from complete data, got it.
There are two types of people in the world:
- Those who divide the world into two types of people
- Those who do not divide the world into two types of people
There are two types of absolutists in the world.
- Only the Sith deal in absolutes
reminds me of this classic:
there's essentially only two types of worldviews in the world: dualistic and non-dualistic worldviews
There are three types of people in the world:
- Those who can count
- Those who cant
They're just playing it safe. Extrapolating from a small dataset is irresponsible
"... and horses. Yes, horse people. You thought you could extrapolate from a single data point? Don't be ridiculous."
You would hope, but far too many people fail to even understand the shape of the hole in their knowledge, so they wouldn't even recognize what should go in that blank spot...
Then you get billions of people believing there's a magical sky daddy that will take care of us no matter what, and those words about us being good stewards of the earth is totally just about like, not pooping on the road! Definitely not about wanton resource extraction and environmental exploitation and distruction...
All those lessons about how to be a good ruler are just describing that sky daddy! They're definitely not direct and allegorical stories trying to teach what virtues to look for in leaders and which ones deserve to be dethroned... God is definitely real literally and not just allegory for leaders that are glorified, it's definitely not about humans treating other humans with respect, but about Sky Daddy playing with his toys!
There's 10 types of people, those who understood binary ...
Those that understood ternary...
Those that understood quarternary...
.......
We count 1 to 10 like everyone else!
Every base is base 10 in its own base.
Really makes you thinks.
Based.
And those that beep boop
roger roger
Wait a second but you just used null to represent people who don't understand binary... So that leaves 1 to represent something else TELL ME THE OTHER KIND OF PERSON!!!!
Those that understand cinary Those that understand dinary Those that understand einary Those that understand finary Those that understand ginary Those that understand hinary Those that understand iinary Those that understand jinary Those that understand kinary
Two types of people. Those who have lost data, those who will.

The ones who think they can, and get it wrong, helped put Trump in office.
Bonus: it's a statistics class.
Hmm expecting people to extrapolate from incomplete date is how you end up with responses like "I don't care who the second group is, their mysterious ways must be wiped from the earth."
/s
Not sure why you added the /s when this line of thinking is quickly becoming the primary line of thinking.
Damn, is your professor Thor?
"Congratulations! You're both very special."
...and they thought they were being clever
So one asked the question, and then someone else asked the same question?
It's more common than you'd think
Then that means there's 3 types of people
