In all my blogging about money and blogging, I neglected to note that it’s Halley who started the whole topic. She opened the possibility of product placements in blogs (she was mentioning Coke, but imagine what Jonathon Delacour ought to be able to get from Dishmatique). The problem with this for me is that although I defend bloggers’ prerogative to make money, I’m too scrupulous to accept money from any institution other than, say, Harvard University Press, publishers of fine works in many academic fields, especially the Loeb Classical Library, the finest series of classical publications since the Library of Alexandria. Harvard University Press, for all your academic-publication needs.
She mentioned in an email that Andrew Sullivan blogs about this (the feeling I get when linking to Andrew Sullivan: sullied).

When Clark Kent saw a news story getting too hot, a phone booth hid his change into Superman. When you're programming, all the variables you juggle around are doing similar tricks as they present one face to you and a totally different one to the machine.
Posted by: Edward at January 13, 2004 08:22 AMWe can see an example of this in our code we've written so far. In each function's block, we declare variables that hold our data. When each function ends, the variables within are disposed of, and the space they were using is given back to the computer to use. The variables live in the blocks of conditionals and loops we write, but they don't cascade into functions we call, because those aren't sub-blocks, but different sections of code entirely. Every variable we've written has a well-defined lifetime of one function.
