    1. I found this really hard to read on archive.is (https://archive.is/YkIyW).

      I used this snippet to reformat the article to manually float the "annotations" (pull-outs) to the margins:

      ```` javascript document.getElementById("CONTENT").style.width = "1720px";

      ([ ...document.querySelectorAll("[id^=annotation]") ]).forEach((x, i) => { if (i % 2) { x.style.left = ""; x.style.right = "-44ch"; } else { x.style.left = "-44ch"; x.style.right = ""; } }); ````

    1. I'd even go as far as saying each_with_object is often less readable than using a captured variable.

      elaborate? what is a captured variable? I assume he means the val = 0 from outside the scope of the block, which was "captured" in the closure.

    1. The popular recommendation is that there should be between 40 and 75 characters per line. The findings of multiple studies conclude that "short line lengths are easier to read". Regarding learning and information retention: "Subjects reading the narrow paragraphs had better retention than those reading the wide paragraphs"

      Luhmann zettelkasten origin myth at 165 second mark

      A short outline of several numbering schemes (essentially all decimal in nature) for zettelkasten including: - Luhmann's numbering - Bob Doto - Scott Scheper - Dan Allosso - Forrest Perry

      A little light on the "why", though it does get location as a primary focus. Misses the idea of density and branching. Touches on but broadly misses the arbitrariness of using the comma, period, or slash which functions primarily for readability.

    1. When I ask people about any part of their code, they usually say it's easy to understand. But when I open the code, it takes me a couple hours slapping to my face to keep myself alive to understand just a little part of their code.
    1. use logos wellthroughout, provided with credible ethos, they fail to have strong pathos within their writing.

      Aristotle's rhetorical appeals are essence to any convincing paper but ideally I would like to see you elucidate on each of these three by possibly spreading them throughout. For instance, you could use the next annotated paragraph to display Ethos.

    2. Satisfying sex life hasbeen found to be important for health and well-being, regardless of age.

      Consider A satisfying sex life is important for health and well-being, regardless of age for the diminution of verbiage and the missing determiner.

    3. “The positive relationship between sexual quality of life and aging wasstrongest in the context of good-quality romantic relationships, where sexual exploration anda focus on partners’ pleasure is more likely to take place” (Forbes, Eaton, Kruger 2022pg.186). And “This is great news, as a satisfying sex life has been found to be important forhealth and well-being, regardless of age (Forbes, Eaton, Kruger 2022 pg.187). The key wordsthat draw you to the reading withing these two sentences are “positive” and “this is greatnews”

      I feel like there are four paragraph long quotes relatively close together. I thought this analysis was internalizing the work and putting the rhetoric into your own words, if not I need some quotes lol.

    4. Forbes, Eaton, Kruger 2022 pg.186). Miri, Nicholas, and Robert stated

      Great job sourcing the material you're referencing but I believe in redundancy: the audience knows what you're analyzing so you should be able to just state the page numbers without repeating the author's names.

    1. Note that every call of sample(1:6, 3, replace = T) gives a different outcome since we draw with replacement at random. To allow you to reproduce the results of computations that involve random numbers, we will used set.seed() to set R’s random number generator to a specific state. You should check

      In general I really like the online approach etc! really appreciated. I am now actively using and studying through this book. I think what would be super useful is to show some kind of equivalent of page numbers. Going back and forth between sections and scrolling up and down really makes me lose track of where i was.

    1. “Who cares? Let’s just go with the style-guide” — to which my response is that caring about the details is in the heart of much of our doings. Yes, this is not a major issue; def self.method is not even a code smell. Actually, that whole debate is on the verge of being incidental. Yet the learning process and the gained knowledge involved in understanding each choice is alone worth the discussion. Furthermore, I believe that the class << self notation echoes a better, more stable understanding of Ruby and Object Orientation in Ruby. Lastly, remember that style-guides may change or be altered (carefully, though!).

    1. I'm certainly not claiming that we should use clever tricks to scrunch our code into the most compact form possible at the expense of readability. Nor am I claiming that reducing lines of code is necessarily a worthwhile goal, since it encourages turning readable code like this...

    1. The lack of a dynamic scripting language is annoying, though Tsung XML scenarios (again, just like JMeter) can include things like loops and if-statements, so it is actually possible to write all sorts of complicated user scenario “code.” The functionality is there, but the usability is not: few developers like “programming” in XML.

    1. The transformation of a page by Readability is pretty dramatic, and its use can lead to a focused conversation in the classroom about what has been removed, and why, and what has remained, and why. This forced awareness of the construction of a web page is valuable knowledge for young users of the web.

      This is an important thing to think about because if a student is always using "readability" then are they really learning how to read online. This sounds like a really helpful tool for students with OCD or ADHD.

    1. When you agree to the Terms of Use, you can continue with the registration process.

      The text edit for this Terms of Use is testing at a Grade Level of 10, as a whole. However, individual sentences test lower 6-8). The multi-syllabic words and unrecognized words (eg-Movember, TrueNTH) add to the increase in reading level. But all in all, I think the edit may read a little clearer.
