On the other hand skills like object permanence require the development outside the womb. I am sure nature would have found a way if it would be possible otherwise.

Same with me and I wish I would have been exposed to philosophy earlier in my life. Science provides us with the tools to denounce certain religious facts but it can not give us our confidence back. This also explains the rise of pseudo-int

Mirror Self-Recognition is closely linked to social awareness and self-consciousness[0]. Does it mean dolphins are more self-conscious than humans? [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22673374

To be honest it indicates a personality that is based around intellect, intelligence and science™ as the main pillars of psychological stability. Quite often it is a defensive reaction to a religious upbringing as a child.

Its hard to imagine that our large brain came first and the birth canal was an afterthought :)) As the case with dolphins, humans rely on social interactions to survive. The more an animal relies on their caregiver, the more it relies on le

Twin studies lets you fix the genetics factor, but unless you monitor the twins 24/7 or control their environment it is nearly impossible to tell if it influences your intelligence directly or through behavioural patterns. I am sure th

That is called learning and is indeed a creative process.

by ujal 9y ago
Engineering can be creative but most of the time it is not. We are mostly applying existing solutions to well known problems.

Well at least in my mental model a Promise is an object that eventually resolves to something within its .then() method. In contrast my mental model of await is that of a blocking call. One can internalize the latter without the former.

by ujal 9y ago
Any interesting reasons as to why?
45.
by ujal 9y ago
Its the ambiguity for new programmers. With something like awaitAll new programmers wouldn't need to learn about Promises at all. You have a point with concurrency, but handling concurrency is an another beast altogether.

Yeah, s-exps are the only thing I miss :(

Well an async function always returns a Promise. await simply blocks until the Promise is resolved to continue execution. Thats why I am wondering why they decided to await only on a single Promise.
48.
by ujal 9y ago
Don't you need to be in an async context to call await?

by ujal 9y ago
With Promises we conceptualize a control flow construct like callbacks. It is much easier to reason about a concept rather than following code execution paths. With async await we return control flow to the current scope.

await all([fn1, fn2]) ;) i wonder when we will get s-expressions for function calls (awaitAll [fn1, fn2])
51.
by ujal 9y ago
Every async function will return a Promise anyway. I am simply interested in resolving a collection of Promises in a clean way.
52.
by ujal 9y ago
There should also be something like awaitAll to replace await Promise.all calls.

There is no boilerplate in Elm if you don't write self-contained components and you really shouldn't. You end up with huge model/update/view functions that you split down into modules. Here is an example app - https:&#x

You can use elm-format and never think about formatting again. Instead of mixing html and js why not use function calls for everything. I believe there would be no jsx if javascript would allow function calls without the parens.
