First take: Neat, I never thought about that!

Second take: 5. I have always and will always do 5, and all other ways are morally bankrupt and THIS IS THE HILL I WILL DIE ON.

@ZachWeiner @aacooper If you drop the "empy set is in I" part, then wouldn't the empty set itself satisfy the definition?

I am also not an expert, so there might be something deeper here, but I think we just need to put _something_ in to start the induction.

@jamessocol But maybe I'm still just kicking and screaming my way up the hill 🙂.

[Jim Grandpre @jimtla]

@jamessocol Agreed, but, I think that the functions that best divide work are often abstract. When abstractions work (like map, reduce, and friends), they split complex problems into truly orthoganol, easy, problems.

RIP my darling boy. It's been 5 years.
If you do one thing today, honor Aaron's memory by calling your Senators and Representatives in Congress and begging them to support #Aaron'sLaw to reform the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act).

@tangentialism Ellen and I humbly request that you watch, and comment upon, The Chamber of Secrets post haste.

.@Ebates Why are you requesting permission to read, send, and delete my email? This is not okay.

[Katie Mack @AstroKatie]
