  • 95% is a little low for a genius.

    At 95%, you are the smartest in a room of 20.

    Depending on if you are talking about ordinary or extraordinary genius, depending on which measure you choose ordinary genius is in the 1 in 10k range; and extraordinary genius is 100 to 1000 times rarer 1 in a million to 1 in 10 million range.

    If you are sitting in a stadium of 50k, and you are the smartest person. You are still likely not and extraordinary genius.






  • Hybrid is best.

    I use the GUI quite a lot.

    But some things are just easier in CLI, especially if you have to do that thing often.

    The other reason to use the command line is automation, it is very easy to write a bash script and run it as often as needed, if every day at midday you want to update something CLI is much easier.

    e.g everyday at 2am, my rsync script runs to backup my important files.
    e.g 2, I have a small script to combine all the pdf’s in the current directory into a single file using pdftk. It is so much faster than any graphical way.



  • It depends on the situation.

    If I know I’m correct (I’m a subject matter expert in the field I work in), I generally don’t preface my comments.

    But in related fields, where my knowledge is less sure, I do.

    It can really get difficult, when someone else is talking out their arse, but sounding confident. There are situations where it is unprofessional, to not correct the course of the conversation.
