Quotes About Scope

I am sometimes almost terrified at the scope of the demands made upon me, at the perfection of the self-abandonment required of me; yet outside of such absoluteness can be no salvation.

It was not, it could not be, in virtue of his humanity, it was in virtue of his childhood that this child was thus presented as representing a subject of the kingdom. It was not to show the scope but the nature of the kingdom. He told them they could not enter into the kingdom save by becoming little children-by humbling themselves.

Because you don't see what can be done, you say God can do nothing—which is as much as to say there cannot be more within his scope than there is within yours! One thing is clear, that, if he saw no more than what lies within your ken, he could not be God. The very impossibility you see in the thing points to the region wherein God works.

Whatever belonging to the region of thought and feeling is uttered in words, is of necessity uttered imperfectly. For thought and feeling are infinite, and human speech, although far-reaching in scope, and marvellous in delicacy, can embody them after all but approximately and suggestively.

Some calamities - the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, 9/11 - have come like summer lightning, as bolts from the blue. The looming crisis of America's Ponzi entitlement structure is different. Driven by the demographics of an aging population, its causes, timing and scope are known.

Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It's about the big picture.

We talk about "awe and wonder," but those are two different words. I am in awe of the universe: its scope, its complexity, its depth, its meticulous precision. But my primary feeling is wonder. Awe has connotations of reverence: "this fills me with awe and I am not worthy." Wonder has connotations of curiosity: "this fills me with wonder and I am going to figure it out." I will take wonder over awe every day.

Space, time and context all impose limits on what is possible.

If this world were populated with really thinking beings, it would be impossible for all kinds of noise to be permitted and given such unlimited scope, even the most terrible and purposeless. But if nature had intended man for thinking, she would not have given him ears, or at any rate would have furnished them with air-tight flaps, as with bats whom for this reason I envy.

it had wide influence.

Lexical scope means that we can determine the scope of a variable by reading our code.

Closures are a function along with a referencing environment.

Closures are often used to capture state for event handlers.

One thing that often misleads people learning closures is that they think the environment in the closure must have a copy of all the variables and their values. It doesn't. In

JavaScript creates all local variables at the beginning of a function whether you declare them or not (this is called "hoisting" and we'll come back to it later), but the variables are all undefined until they are assigned a value, which might not be what you want.

By lexical scope we mean that JavaScript's rules for scoping are based purely on the structure of your code (not on some dynamic runtime properties). This means you can determine where a variable is defined by simply examining your code's structure. Also

Now, when we have an environment that has a value for each of the free variables, we say that we've closed the function. And, when we take the function and the environment together, we say we have a closure.

If a variable is declared outside a function, it's GLOBAL. If it's declared inside a function, it's LOCAL.

when you assign a value to a variable name that hasn't been previously declared, it is treated as a new, global variable. So be careful, if you do this within a function you are creating a global variable. Note

When you link to multiple JavaScript files from your page, all the global variables are defined in the same global space.

If you assign a new variable without using the var keyword, that variable will be global, even if you are first assigning it in a function.

In fact, there's a keyword in JavaScript named this, and that is exactly how you tell JavaScript you mean this object we're in.

When you declare any kind of global variable or define a global function, it is stored as a property in the window object. So

An object named arguments is available in every function when that function is called. You
