Quotes About Lambda

A forEach operation that does anything more than present the result of the computation performed by a stream is a "bad smell in code," as is a lambda that mutates state.

For even if we expunged all the matter in the Universe the lambda force could still exist, causing the universe to expand or contract. It was always there, acting on everything but unaffected by anything. It began to look like an omnipresent form of energy that remained when everything that could be removed from a universe had been removed, and that sounds very much like somebody's definition of a vacuum.

It is the cosmological vacuum energy that contributes a repulsive lambda force to the gravitational force of Newton.

Because Lambda executes in a custom environment managed by AWS, it can be difficult to work through this cycle. Fortunately, a number of open source third-party libraries have sprung up to fill the need for testing. Ultimately, these tools mimic the "event" and "context" objects, along with their properties and method to simulate the environment in which Lambda functions launch once uploaded.

Fourth is Lambda, the cosmological constant, which determines the acceleration of the universe.

Without a doubt, Einstein's greatest blunder was having declared that lambda was his greatest blunder.

So lambda's sole job was to oppose gravity within Einstein's model, keeping the universe in balance, resisting the natural tendency for gravity to pull the whole universe into one giant mass.

as this little function isn't needed elsewhere, it was written inline as a lambda.
