    1. one-dimensional layout model

      Slightly misleading. In geometry, a line is 2 points, moving from 0 dimensions (a point) to 1 dimension (a line). However, it's misleading, because a flexbox... is a box... which is a plane or 2 dimensions (a plane). This is important when you consider the main axis and cross axis.

    1. HTTP frames

      I'm guessing each frame has an identifier for the previous and next one. The server/user agent then parses all these frames for all the previous/next frames and gives the okay if they're all there or rerequests if not available. Something with TCP likely goes here.

    1. to help survivors of military sexual trauma learn to practice safely reentering the setting where an assault occurred in a therapeutic manner

      I forget that people go through hard shit.

    1. requires a strong decoction of Seneca and the Stoics to enable you to grin and bear it. But even this wears off in time.

      Where many people learned of Stoicism?

    1. The line-height property defines the amount of space above and below inline elements.

      Not exactly. If this were true, there'd be space around the cluster of text as a whole and not space between the lines. The browser automatically breaks text (in inline elements) up into sub boxes, a box for each line. These sub boxes that the browser defined for you get the height change from line-height.

    1. Schedule regular cleaning and maintenance by conducting seiri, seiton, and seiso daily.

      No this is sustain. Standardize is "make everything the same" or "reduce variance". See Out of the Crisis to see how Japanese operators used the standard dies to reduce downtime.

    1. The idea that you can be gay and have conservative opinions is absurd. It was the same with Kanye West, who gave up being black once he’d put on that MAGA hat.

      wait, is this a bait and switch.

    2. the last thing the world needs right now is yet another book by a straight white cis male

      you have yet to attack the substance of the book. What are his propositions. What are his arguments. What do you disagree with.

    1. (binding [*notification-address* "test@elf.org"] (notify "test!"))

      I wondered why to use binding over let. It handles more global variables? let achieves the same functionality as binding, so perhaps binding serves a more semantic purpose :/

    1. With syntax quoting, you can just wrap the entire do expression in a quote and simply unquote the two symbols that you want to evaluate.

      Syntax quoting is more complex than this.

    1. {:name identity :glitter-index str->int}

      The data is organized in maps. Each map has a set of keywords. The original data has a map of keys to string values. The conversions variable has a list of keys that match the keys of the original map's. The value of the conversions is what to do with the data at that key before finalizing.

    1. it allows you to use all the benefits of what a block-level element can offer, whilst getting around the major limitation of not being able to place block-level elements horizontal to each other.

      Why not just use inline?

    1. hoose Panel Options from the Layers panel menu, and select Entire Document to display the contents of the entire document. Select Layer Bounds to restrict the thumbnail to the object’s pixels on the layer.

      Don't get this yet.

    1. “If there was an actual commitment to Doing Good Every Day amongst the majority of people involved, there would be awesome stuff happening all the time.”

      True!

    1. You would like to upgrade your cryptography and start using post-quantum crypto — so cryptography that’s immune to quantum computers — as soon as possible,” he said.

      I wonder how reasonable of a fear this is.

    1. I think Doge ultimately exists to be pumped and dumped by insiders and market makers and it will eventually peter out as the more substantive coins continue to receive legitimate institutional interest and mainstream media coverage

      Pump and dumpers exist on a majority of people who believe in it. Most people are hodlers (i.e. why it's at the $0.388 mark now), and profit-takers are on the top. As long as the hodlers exceed profit takers (which they are), it will grow.

    2. but not because of any solid fundamentals

      Are you kidding me:

      • Cheaper transactions than BTC (1-5 Doge)
      • Faster transactions than BTC (1/3rd the time)
      • More secure with more use (So much use RH and Binance froze)
      • Credible founder
      • Devs releasing updates
      • Kucoin, Webull, RH, and Binance work with it
      • RH Wallets likely
      • Coinbase integration likely
      • Amazing community
      • Great meme
      • Celebrity endorsements, esp. Musk
      • Trip to the moon
    3. He said: "Dogecoin is what people typically refer to as a 'meme' coin (i.e. an 'unserious coin') since there is a technically infinite supply of them.

      So ETH is a meme coin because it isn't capped?

    1. Clojure reads the stream of characters and internally produces the corresponding data structures. It then evaluates the data structures and prints the textual representation of the result

      It could be called RdEPL then. "Read (to data structure)-evaluate (the data)-print-loop".

    1. Run lein run

      The HTML file shows, but browse/browse-url complains:

      Syntax error (URISyntaxException) compiling at (C:\Users\Choppy\AppData\Local\Temp\form-init10621992191013934454.clj:1:110).

    1. a vector of the URLs

      This is no longer feasible, as search engines now obfuscate the urls. They appear to listen for a user click and build the link dynamically instead of sending hard links in the html. A very good move to avoid scraping, like we're doing here.

    2. Google

      Google's a c**t. <del>Use DuckDuckGo here</del> DuckDuckGo 500-ed me after a couple slurps. Just mock the search call by returning a string after a random number of seconds.

    1. this keyword sets the default value of a property as specified in its definition table (in the CSS specs)

      So every property has a default value in the definition table behind the scenes, implemented in the CSS renderer. The renderer will refer to this when it sees initial.

    1. (require [clojure.set :as set])

      Should be (:require [clojure.set :as set])

      1. clojure.set isn't used in the code. Can remove.
      2. use (:require ...), not (require ...). Note the ":".
    1. The hypothesis, being insecure, needs to have practical implications leading at least to mental tests and, in science, lending themselves to scientific tests.

      Exactly. The hypothesis is kind of an abstract thing to predict from. It's the predictions that you test, not the hypothesis directly. If the hypothesis lets you make predictions that turn out true with testing, then the hypothesis is more-or-less confirmed. If its predictions turn out inaccurate, then the hypothesis is falsified.

    1. Better to just say fuck it, put on some makeup, and start blowing up hospitals.

      You're the American version of Thich Nyat Hanh--making Buddhism accessible for me.

    1. If you'd like to learn more about the focused and diffuse modes of thinking, check out A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You FLunked Algebra).

      He knows about the diffused state, too!

    1. I had been doing a gratitude practice (just spending a few minutes to think of three things I was grateful for) regularly for a year and a half, and felt that my life was so full with good shit that I felt almost obligated to do something for others so that they'd have more good shit in their lives.

      I think gratitude is the complement of contribution. One reason to feel grateful is it inspires you to contribute more, which will eventually inspire others to contribute to you, which will inspire... yeah.

    1. Some funeral homes go so far as to ask a family member come by to identify the deceased, then charge their standard viewing fee for this ‘service’!

      F*** these people.

    1. Once you have completed this part of the book, you will understand the following about the design of generative recursion:

      Calling me out, saying I haven't read it yet 🙂

    1. What is a Dyck word? It’s a string consisting only of n X’s and n Y’s, and matching this criteria: each prefix of this string has more X’s than Y’s. For example, “XXYY” and “XYXY” are Dyck words, but “XYYX” and “YYXX” are not.

      If you turned Gray code numbers into strings, each number going to the next would be a pair of Dyck words. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code

    1. Binomial coefficients can be computed explicitly in various ways. To get all of them for the expansions up to (1 + X)n, one can use (in addition to the basic cases already given) the recursion relation ( n k ) = ( n − 1 k − 1 ) + ( n − 1 k ) , {\displaystyle {\binom {n}{k}}={\binom {n-1}{k-1}}+{\binom {n-1}{k}},} for 0 < k < n, which follows from (1 + X)n = (1 + X)n − 1(1 + X); this leads to the construction of Pascal's triangle.

      Needed key in programming combinations?

    1. "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."

      I don't think people understand this.

      God killed a lot of people in terrible ways in The Bible (floods, locusts, killing firstborns, sending Angels to kill a third of mankind).

      He's a jealous, angry God (see Deuteronomy; Moses describes this).

      Theologically, by people neglecting him, God delivered a blow equivalent to a plague that killed sixty million people.

      More down-to-earth, if people paid attention to God, they'd have done more morally right things and taken steps to prevent this tragedy.

      So, I see this statement as true from both a theological and secular standpoint.

    1. Our intent is, for so long as we draw breath, to use the best of what we've found in search of yet better. If other programs can be persuaded into a similar self-instructive search, things could get pretty interesting!

      Whenever I read words like this from someone who's died (like Nikola Tesla), it hits me.

    1. High School Textbook for full-time student (Required) Mathematics Book II B (in Chinese) (2nd ed.). China: People's Education Press. June 2006. pp. 107–116. ISBN 978-7-107-19616-4.

      Got curious about what I Chinese curriculum looks like. Haven't found it yet.

    1. But that’s stupid, right?

      Whenever a computer does something I think it shouldn't do, maybe ask, "What rule am I violating?". In this case, he explains the rule in the next paragraph.

    1. who one day invented the alphabet after an accident involving yarn

      Is this true? The later "alligators love marshmallows" is true, so I bet it is. also, who were the Phoenicians?

    1. source code for symbol

      When you first do this, you'll likely see "Marker not found". M-comma is an "undo" of M-period, so if you haven't done M-period, you'll get that message.

      These keybindings let you jump from the function call to the function defintion (M-period) and then back to the call (M-comma).

      In other words, put your pointer over a function call, type alt-period-enter to go to the function definition. The press alt-comma to go back to the function call.
