fair point. but, op was contrasting HBOs version with Bravos version, both of which presumably do a great job of mocking and fawning. which suggests the proposed source of irony is elsewhere.

i see the irony, but couldn't you argue that it is a fair lesson in proportionality?

not exactly. closures close over scope. functions alone simply create a new scope. these concepts are not synonymous. if your function doesn't return another function, the references from that function are deallocated once the function has

by catshirt 14y ago
i believe you mean using functions, not closures. your post doesn't seem to have the same misnomer, and simply explains lexical function scope. it doesn't seem to touch on the closure, while your parent comment does.

"don't hate the player" is a satirical half assed defense used to justify irresonsible actions. even if the entirety of our hate should be directed at the game, that doesn't mean the player holds no responsibility.

i realize it wasn't their intention, but that's because it is business jargon.

your argument is fallacious in that i never made the assertion that Facebook chose what photos got uploaded. my point is exactly the opposite of that. (but i reserve some responsibility here- see my other response which clarifies a fallacy

your confusion may stem from the fact that i mistook the original analogy. they were calling the shirt into question. my response was calling the model into question. my mistake should be clear if you read both posts carefully. i will elabo

this topic is so complex that i am left convinced that anyone who has a strong enough opinion as to write a blog post on the topic, doesn't respect it's complexity. what is particularly offensive about this post is that the author infers th

this is not a fair analogy. if a model chooses to wear a shirt that fit poorly, then you are allowed to question the model's ability to dress themselves. likewise, if Facebook chooses to saturate their pages with images they know are ge

likewise, the explanation for how the concepts flow together. drawing these connections is usually the last step for me in the "a-ha" moment, and too few resources explain the connections between concepts really well. khan academy being a s

it's not that simple. some of his posts are off topic, or outright offensive (rude, racist, etc). it is complex because this is an unfortunate side effect of the illness.

i'm not writing this off completely, but i should ask what you hoped to bring to the conversation by sharing this? i can't help but feel it's a bit exploitative. i've been familiar with losethos for a long time, and i respect the curiosity

i suppose this opinion would vary by recipient. more importantly, already addressed, is the context it provides around the time spent on a response. in most cases, when responding on a mobile device, you simply can't put the same time into

right of course. i thought your intent was to imply non-network possibilities for the second screen. for instance, there is no reason NFL (the league) could not create a sync-to-broadcast app regardless of wether or not they are the ones sy

please do. i'd contribute more in response to encourage you, but anything i have to say on the topic is something i've drawn from my own processes and probably not worth discussing until i've at least done Wikipedia on it. and it's not real
