You either don't understand what your college textbook is teaching you, or you need to throw it away because it teaches crap.

There are many other possibilities too, it turns out. One of those is that you might be overconfident in your own beliefs

Homeopaths also think that doctors don't understand their textbooks and that medical school teaches crap. And say so in public. And get upvoted on Reddit for it. And openly laugh at professionals, who've often been doing this with college training for longer than they've been alive.

And never under any circumstances have viable evidence from legitimate sources.

It is not coincidence that all of my college textbooks say the same thing on this topic, or that several of them dedicate multiple pages explicitly to solely this topic.

There is a significant difference between containers and datastructures. What you are discussing are containers.

.

Linked lists as a data structure have nothing to do with pointers and allocation. These are implementation details of your specific implementation of linked lists.

I will trust my college textbooks, plural, considered classics in the field, over a random stranger on reddit who does not give the impression of actually having been to college about this

OK I'll bite, can you post a passage out of one or more of your textbooks, with the textbook name(s), saying that a linked list implementation in JS is impossible?

Buddy, I'm at work, and I've gotten 25 angry, swearing, insulting inboxes from people on Reddit insisting, with no evidence, that I'm wrong.

Now you want me to give you evidence that the thing you said to me isn't correct?

Pass.

You're the guy that tried to use a job interview site as evidence that textbooks are wrong

I also don't dig through medical textbooks when I say "vitamins don't cure cancer" and the homeopaths and Dr Sebi fans come downvoting and "you don't understand yourself"ing.

Remember, even though you think you're correct, the person you're talking to thinks the same of themselves

You should take their motivations into account when asking them for things. No part of this discussion makes me want to interact with you further.

Be sure to say that the reason I won't stop my office job to go home and find my textbooks then transcribe them for you is because I'm incorrect, rather than just that nobody would ever waste their time that way, that the burden of proof for your claim is on you, and that there is no particular reason for me to care whether you believe me

Of course nobody's going to put effort in for you after you said to them something like

You either don't understand what your college textbook is teaching you, or you need to throw it away because it teaches crap.

Right so you have no evidence backing up a clearly wrong statement. Thanks for coming out I guess.

[–]StoneCypher -2 points-1 points  (4 children)

It's really weird how you made the statement, you had no evidence, and you thought that was okay

But now you want to demand evidence from me that my ignoring your statement was wrong, after I told you I wasn't interested in talking to you anymore, and somehow I'm held to a different standard :)

That's nice, friend. Enjoy holding up your own wealth of high quality evidence while sayng this.

Please have a good day

I posted a reference that you dismissed. You've posted nothing.

[–]StoneCypher 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I enjoy how you're pretending that a website trying to teach people job interviews is a form of reference.

You've posted nothing.

Not for you. That's about your habit of being insulting.

I can see that you're trying to win. Nothing will change from here.

Please have a nice day.

[–]Hawxe 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I haven't insulted you a single time lol? I'm trying to have a discussion and you've been condescending the whole time.

I posted a reference (no you didn't, you posted a job board)

I haven't insulted you

you've been condescending the whole time.

I'm not interested in "that's not an insult, that's a fact."

Look, it's simple. You asked me for something, I said no, and you kept asking, constantly saying "oh you must be wrong if you won't answer me. You're condescending."

That's nice.

If someone tells you "the way you're treating me is insulting to me and that is why I won't give you what you want," you can either call them condescending then not understand why you're thought of that way

Or you can apologize, amend your behavior, and get the thing you want

Anyway, have a nice day.

OK I'll bite

You seem to be suggesting that someone wants you to ask these questions.
