    1. The Mathematica notebook is the more coherently designed, more polished product—in large part because every decision that went into building it emanated from the mind of a single, opinionated genius. “I see these Jupyter guys,” Wolfram said to me, “they are about on a par with what we had in the early 1990s.” They’ve taken shortcuts, he said. “We actually want to try and do it right.”

      Desde mediados/finales de los noventas no uso Mathematica, e incluso en ese momento era un gran sistema, altamente integrado y coherente. Sin embargo, en la medida en que me decanté por el software libre, empecé prontamente a buscar alternativas e inicié con TeXmacs, del cual traduje la mayor parte de su documentación al español, como una de mis primeras contribuciones a un proyecto de software libre (creo que aún la traducción es la que se está usando y por aquella época usábamos SVN para coordinar cambio e incluso enviábamos archivos compresos, pues el control de versiones no era muy popular).Por ejemplo el bonito y minimalista Yacas, con el que hiciera muchas de mis tareas en pregrado y colocara algunos talleres y corrigiría parciales cuando me convirtiese en profesor del departamento de Matemáticas

      TeXmacs, a diferencia de sistemas monolíticos como Mathematica, se conectaba ya desde ese entonces con una gran variedad de Sistemas de Álgebra Computacional (o CAS, por sus siglas en inglés) exponiéndonos a una diversidad de enfoques y paradigmas CAS, con sus sintaxis e idiosincracias particulares, en una riqueza que Mathematica nunca tendrá.

      TeXmacs también me expondría a ideas poderosas, como poder cambiar el software fácilmente a partir de pequeños scripts (en Scheme), que lo convirtieron en el primer software libre que modifiqué, y las poderosas S-expressions que permitían definir un documento y su interacción con CAS externos, si bien TeXmas ofrecía un lenguaje propio mas legible y permitía pasar de Scheme a este y viceversa.

      En general esa es la diferencia de los sistemas privativos con los libres: una monocultura versus una policultura, con las conveniencias de la primera respecto a los enfoques unificantes contra la diversidad de la segunda. Si miramos lo que ha ocurrido con Python y las libretas computacionales abiertas como Marimo y Jupyter, estos han ganado en la conciencia popular con respecto a Mathematica y han incorporado funcionalidad progresiva que Mathematica tenía, mientras que otra sigue estando aún presente en los sistemas privativos y no en los libres y viceversa. Yo no diría que las libretas computacionales libres están donde estaba Mathematica en los 90's, sino que han seguido rutas históricas diferentes, cada una con sus valores y riquezas.

    1. oh! John, catch haud o’ him

      Johnston keeps up a strict rhyme scheme throughout the poem - aabbccbb, etc. However, the speaker's somewhat fourth wall breaking exclamation here tips that rhyme scheme on its head. Blin', in the Scots dialect, is a near rhyme with the word him, though that rhyme is lost some in other accents. Beyond the loose rhyme here, the outburst also changes the otherwise even flow of the rhythm through the poem.

      The thought of her child falling to the floor forces the speaker out of her careful patterns, highlighting the mother's love and care for her children.

    1. Let Man toil to win his living, Work is not a task to spurn; Poor is gold of others’ giving, To the silver that we earn.

      Each stanza follows a specific rhyming pattern. In each stanza, the end words of the first and third lines rhyme and the second and fourth also rhyme. The rhyme scheme of the poem results in an up-beat cadence when the poem is read aloud. The cadence really juxtaposes the serious tone of the content.

    1. Loved and were loved, and now we lie,         In Flanders fields.

      Her and the last two lines of the poem are the only lines that do not rhyme. Most of the poem remains consistent with a rhyme scheme, however, the end of the last two stanzas through that off. This forces the reading to slow down and actually let the poem sink in. It is all about what occurred at Flanders fields, and that's where the poem slows down

    1. Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is; It sucked me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be; Thou know’st that this cannot be said A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead,     Yet this enjoys before it woo,     And pampered swells with one blood made of two,     And this, alas, is more than we would do. – Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, nay more than married are. This flea is you and I, and this Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is; Though parents grudge, and you, w’are met, And cloistered in these living walls of jet.     Though use make you apt to kill me,     Let not to that, self-murder added be,     And sacrilege, three sins in killing three

      Rhymes are AABBCCDDD

    2. Cruel and sudden, hast thou since Purpled thy nail, in blood of innocence? Wherein could this flea guilty be, Except in that drop which it sucked from thee? Yet thou triumph’st, and say’st that thou Find’st not thy self, nor me the weaker now;     ’Tis true; then learn how false, fears be:     Just so much honor, when thou yield’st to me,     Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.

    1. the progress trap and the pyramid scheme are not all that different

      for - adjacency - progress trap - pyramid scheme

      adjacency - between - progress trap - pyramid scheme - adjacency relationship - the pyramid sales scheme works as long as you can - continue to draw in new investors and new buyers - you concentrate the wealth upwards - you're not actually making real wealth - you're simply taking the wealth from the rubes who are coming in, in order to pay off the people who invested earlier to make it seem like it's a sustainable enterprise when it isn't (ponzi scheme) - Unfortunately, civilizations in their relationship to nature seem to follow that pattern - They expand the base and then when the base can't be expanded anymore - then all the environmental problems that have been hidden by constant expansion suddenly come back and hit them in the face - And those environmental problems of course cause social problems - They very often cause revolutions and wars because - suddenly people realize the pie is not getting bigger so therefore they become discontented with the small slice that they're getting, - unless they're people at the top of the pyramid - So it's a pyramid in the sense of a social pyramid too

    1. Practical reasoning is a goal-directed sequence of linked practical inferencesthat seeks out a prudent line of conduct for an agent in a set of particular circumstances known by the agent. Where a is an agent, A is an action, and G a goal, thetwo basic types of practical inferences are respectively, the necessary conditionscheme and the sufficient condition scheme (Walton, Pract. Reas., 1 990; see alsoSchellens, 1 987).G is a goal for aDoing A is necessary for a to carry out GTherefore, a ought to do AG is a goal for aDoing A is sufficient for a to carry out GTherefore, a ought to do A

    1. Rhyme scheme for The Good-Morrow is A B A B C C C, and it's persistent throughout every seven-line stanzas.

      We can sense a slight transition in tones or subject between the quatrain(ABAB) and tercet(CCC).

      In the first stanza, the quatrain is composed of a list of rhetorical questions, while the tercet isn't. Oppositely, in the second stanza, the tercet is grouped with anaphora, while the quatrain isn't. Finally, in the third stanza, the last three lines incorporate a slightly concerning tone compared to the preceding lines and the rest of the poem, implying transition.

    2. The poem contains four slant rhymes, which is an imperfect rhyme with similar, but not identical sounds. Most slant rhymes are formed by words with identical consonants and different vowels, or vice versa.

      lines 1 and 3 - "I" and "childishly"

      lines 9 and 11 - “fear” and “everywhere”

      lines 12 to14 - “gone,” “shown” and “one”

      lines 19 to 21 - “equally,” “I,” and “die”

    1. Rhyme scheme of The Canonization is A B B A C C C A A, and it's persistent throughout every stanza.

      The first stanza, for example, follows A B B A C C C A A rhyme scheme with the each alphabet representing a rhyme as below:

      A: -ove

      B: -out

      C: -ace

      To modern readers, the terminal sound of "love" and, "improve" (or "approve") doesn't seem to rhyme. However,"-ove" during John Donne's time period was pronounced slightly different from modern pronunciation. It was more similar to pronunciation of "-oave," which allowed them to rhyme!

    1. As virtuous men pass mildly away
        • / - / - / - /<br> As virtuous men pass mildly away,

      Iambic Tetrameter- This meter is consistent (as well as the Rhyme Scheme ABAB) throughout the poem in order to covey the message to Anne More that Donne's love for her is constant and never changing; this is used in order to comfort the upset More.

    1. The Ministry has developed a support scheme to support pilot testing of innovative solutions in practice directly on the territory of the city and, with the help of active targeted counseling, to improve the managementof the transition towards administrative and fi nancially more demanding activities. In the framework of the pilot testing of the proposed support mechanism, 5 projects are to be supported, with the allocation for one project covering the costs of preparing a feasibility study of the solution and using a certain share of co-fi nancing of the Ministry resources and City resources for pilot testing in practice. We expect the launch of the pilot call in the 4th quarter of 2017.

    1. anxiety about her economic future and a conviction that marriage was a social necessity for young women

      Let's not also forget that Charlotte is older than Mr. Collins by two years He is 25 (99) and she is 27, as Moe's later quote states. This makes her "scheme" even more successful, as he would still marry her despite her burgeoning "old maid" status.
