A thread on Rahul Dravid

Story told by Dr. Rajdeep Manwani, one of Dravid's classmate:

"Rahul Dravid never attended classes regularly & was always seen practising in nets. One day he came to class & started writing notes with his gloves on.
Seeing this, we felt uncomfortable. Everyone was laughing, whispering, Rahul Dravid continued writing for that full hour.
After 1 hour, Dravid came up to Adarsh (a common friend) & said, ā€œAdarsh, can I borrow your accounts notes bcoz exams are nearing &
I haven't written many notes. So can I borrow it, xerox it & give it to you backā€
Adarsh replied ā€œRahul, I'll give you notes but could you tell me why were you wearing gloves? You came to class wearing gloves & you continued wearing it, you were wearing gloves even

Let's talk about #CognitiveBiases and #denial of reality as a cause of #CivilizationCollapse.

Civilization collapse is a phenomenon that occurs when a complex human society disintegrates and loses its cohesion, identity, and functionality. There are many possible causes of

civilization collapse, such as natural disasters, war, famine, disease, trade disruption, resource depletion, and social inequality. However, one factor that is often overlooked or underestimated is the role of human psychology in shaping our perception and response to these

challenges. In this thread, I will argue that cognitive biases and denial of reality are significant contributors to civilization #collapse because they #impair our ability to recognize, understand, and solve the problems that threaten our existence.

I wanted to share my opinion piece below.Ā  Please feel free to comment, add, disagree etc.Ā 

I wanted to share this with Hexicans and anyone curious about #HEX.Ā  It started with my curiosity about why a coin's ā€œprice goes upā€.
What factors lead to certain cryptocurrencies gaining a loyal following even before their price rises? Is it due to the coin's popularity as a meme or its potential gains and utility? Because I am a #Hexican I delve into the underlying reasons behind its #stickiness
that generates social consensus and contributes Hexā€™s long-term #success. In the case of Hex, I believe the following factors play a significant role.Ā  #HEX crypto has emerged as one of the most promising #cryptocurrencies in the market today.

Abraham fails to save the cities of #Sodom and Gomorrah

But did he fail?
Is hard work that does not yield the expected result a failure?

In this post I discuss the end of #Abraham's negotiation with #God in Genesis 18:29-33

#TheHebrewBible #BibleStudy Image
#Abraham continues to negotiate with #God about how many righteous people will save #Sodom and Gomorrah. This finishes when Abraham realises that there are not enough #righteous people to save the cities. Was all his effort in vain?
Absolutely not. At minimum the #trial gave us a guide to how to run a just trial. It also taught us about #collateraldamage. But even more, as we will see soon, Abrahamā€™s efforts saved Lot and his family.

#Narcissism thread šŸ§µ 15 (more) questions to ask yourself if you are questioning whether someone is a #narcissist
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ā€˜authorityā€™ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? šŸš©
Are they #superior? For e.g. A non lawyer preaching to a lawyer about law. 2. Are they #defensive? Do they seem only interested in trying to prove that they are right & you are wrong, in a defensive mode? šŸš©They are #competitive not co-operative. Co-operation is a must #healthy
3. Do they demand #attention from you? For e.g., insisting on having the conversation when itā€™s convenient for them only &/or use emotional #manipulation to ensure conversation happens on ā€˜theirā€™ terms? They may not answer the question, go off topic, deflect, defensive, accuse šŸš©

šŸ·ļø Naming is so important and so cumbersome in programming as Phil Karlton coined in his famous cite:

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."

A thread šŸ§µšŸ‘‡
šŸ“From the design phase.
Having a common name glossary is the central point in methodologies like #DDD.
But even if you donĀ“t follow it, you will appreciate having a #ubiquitous language to communicate with all the people involved.
šŸš§ In the architect's hands naming is the core of its work.
Creating #patterns is given a name to proven solutions. Using them is using those names.
Dividing codebases and defining #layers and #tiers forces you to give them a name.
