Way of distinguishing "closure"? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:48 PM PST Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs: The use of the word "closure" here comes from abstract algebra, where a set of elements is said to be closed under an operation if applying the operation to elements in the set produces an element that is again an element of the set. The Lisp community also (unfortunately) uses the word "closure" to describe a totally unrelated concept: A closure is an implementation technique for representing functions with free variables. We do not use the word "closure" in this second sense in this book. Has anyone arrived at a more convenient way of distinguishing these forms of "closure"? It was also used in the abstract algebra way in the lectures. submitted by /u/mountain704 [link] [comments]

Are there story books/Novels revolving around computer science? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:08 AM PST Did anyone read any novel/story book that was entertaining while helping you get a bigger picture and better understanding of the IT/Software industry and it's practices? submitted by /u/LifingItUp [link] [comments]
