I think the cognitive function model is fine and useful, which is why Dr. John Beebe's model is so appealing. My main issue with Meyers-Briggs is the use of a questionnaire to type people - I'm an ESFP, but every time I've ta

Meyers-Briggs is absolute trash and should not be used by companies for anything. Big 5 is also almost completely worthless beyond vaguely describing a person's general tendencies. The only system that seems to have any sort of validit

Rust does have auto; "let" and function literal parameter type inference, for a start. It just doesn't let you use it in the return type position.

Let me give you a little guidance on this (if you happen to still be using D). Most functions in std.algorithm (and many more throughout the rest of the standard library) return "ranges", which is like a begin iterator and an end
