How do convince my brother that hacker culture is a thing, that hackers can spot other hackers at a glance (at their online presence), and that I am not gatekeeping, but they no hacker would call him a hacker.

Also, inb4 "u no l337 hacker"

Anyone who calls themself a hacker, ain't one. Period.

My autism meter is reading dangerous levels.

I think I know as much about what you're talking about as your brother, so you come off as really vague. Maybe explain to him some of the core competencies?

cringe, where do you think you are?

those (you)s must have been delicious, but this ain't a tech thread and you are not on topic.

Sure.

Hackers use, edit, and write open source software. They publish useful information about their projects, builds, customization, etc. They assist noobs and learn from people with vastly more experience.

Some hackers practice meditation, a martial arts, play an instrument, and enjoy wordplay.

I name these things not because they are exactly what a hacker does, but the commonality between all of these cultural activities is that they mix analytical thinking with artistic thought. They are equal parts artist and engineer.

ESR is a hack, not a hacker

so hackers are fedora tippers

?

Shouldn't they already know its impossible

put it on a Klein bottle

paul graham has a wife and 2 kids. also he is a billionaire. he is also redpilled, based, and certainly not a fedora tipper

it isnt though, there are actually many solutions

Im sorry to inform you, but this is how this test is passed. Refusing to accept this answer is actually what flags someone having autism

the fact that this is literally impossible really bothers me

It’s one of those reverse psychology tests. You have autism when you think there is a solution and desperately try to figure it out to prove you’re not autistic which just proves you are.

That’s it. That’s the test. The solution doesn’t exist. Normal people see it instantly. Autistic people will never stop trying to solve it because there “has to be” a solution.

holy fuck i seriously hope this is bait
this is like the most cringeworthy thing i have read like in a month

I miss when people tried autism tests instead of deconstructing them

its not impossible. passing through a house is logical and not against the rules

>never stop trying to solve it
It's possible to achieve closure by providing a proof that it's insoluble

Passing through a house is just one of those "think outside the box" bullshit.

>normies give up after 1 try
>smart people keep going until someone says that there is no solution (the assignment is a lie).
>the actual retards say you have to go through a house (because they searched up the solution and "think different" bullshit).

This test has nothing to do with autists.

This tests just

thinking outside the box is often an important problem solving skill. Saying a problem is impossible, insisting its still impossible after being shown a solution, then storming off thinking youre correct and others are wrong is a sign of autism

>going through a house is bullshit
>real pipes cant go through a house, they get to the house and just stop
>REEEEE EVERYONE IS AUTISTIC BUT ME

it is kindof bait (OP)

>Normal people see it instantly.

Yeah I'm sure normal people are educated on jordan's curve theorem or euler's formula.

Humans see this challenge and intuitively try to solve it because it looks like it can be solved.

>Autistic people will never stop trying to solve it because there “has to be” a solution.

It's a meme you mong.

>thinking in 2d

>Thinking real pipes have to go directly from the source to the home.
Peak autism m8

uhh the house is made of lines

so, youre agreeing with me?

youre missing an important detail; the puzzle explicitly says it is possible. that means there *is* a solution. You are free to find a better solution, but crossing through a house is by far the most logical solution and certainly less autistic than adding dimensions and wormholes and shit

tell him to lay off the weed and to buy some fuckin glasses so he can see his gf's face properly

bro you have to provide a graphical representation

this, it's just impossible in 2 space

unless you pass through a house

duh

you can clearly see in the intersections that the lines are always either above or under one another
you solved it dude

All 3 resources go to the middle house. Then from the middle house they Branch out to the other two. This is the solution

Fascinating, after all these years, this picture still merits discussion on this imageboard.
I finally understand, how this riddle is testing for autism.

i work with an autistic guy. he seems to think he understands everything. he also clearly doesnt.

They are REALLY screwed in business/entrepreneurship if they don't have a normie as a business partner who helps explain the simple things to them and make sure the whole operation doesn't get derailed on some hairbrained scheme.

based and parallel pilled

Not always, I actually know of one autistic guy who earns mad cash with his business, that he operates alone(except for accounting). The 'problem'- he doesn't know what to do with all of that money, except reinvesting it in his business. It's all a numbers game for him, Like playing a clicker game irl. It's equally frightening and innocent.
But it makes him happy, and I'm not one to judge what oughts to make people happy in their lives.

I know, that this mentality is also what makes him succeed with his business. He lives in austere conditions This fact is not lost on me. Still, a mind so single-purposed is frigthening, and I'm envious.

If you're on Jow Forums you're probably in the spectrum for sure. That includes you friend.
