More evidence against Sepples

Fuck Alioth's shootout. Check it:

This C program takes about 2.4 seconds to read its input (the same as the C++ version), but only 0.5 seconds for the insertions (down from 4.9) and only 0.06 seconds to write the output (down from 0.3). The complete run time is 3.0 seconds (down from 7.6), and the processing time is 0.55 seconds (down from 5.2). Our custom-made hash table (in 30 lines of C) is an order of magnitude faster than the maps from the C++ Standard Template Library.

Sure, using "char *" instead of strings and "type *" instead of vectors is a pragmatic choice. No shit.

I hear this a lot but have never experienced it myself (and I work with morons). I'm afraid it's a typical autistic fairytale: it seems entirely possible that the problem would arise unless there are other uncounted for factors (such as that maybe sane people tend to pick the mostly the same sane subset of C++?). But the little autistic shit can't imagine uncounted for factors, his logical argument is absolutely correct dammit, so he never tries to see if his ideas work IRL, or even ignores contradictory evidence gathered accidentally.

Just like autistic people in general and especially high-functioning asspies tend to ignore the mountains of evidence against their belief that they are geniuses who don't need to check their conclusions against reality in the first place.

I mean, everyone who had to deal with asspies should agree that their most annoying quality is the irrational belief that they are masterminds who can make people do what they want. Against the obvious fact that it only works with their parents, and not because they are fooled by the cunning schemes, but out of pity.
