Code simplification, UI suggestions.

This looks like a simplification.

Well, this is a nice, neat simplification.

So we're going to hand over the process of simplification over to a machine, resulting in automatic simplification.

Obviously, simplification works, but if you as a human do simplification, you may not be entirely happy with it.

And I'm going to do a slight simplification.

Now let's get back to our simplification scheme.

That is because manual simplification is tedious and boring.

Even though there's no arithmetic simplification that I can perform,

Can we do that? For automatic simplification, we need two ingredients.

So far for the automated test now comes the simplification strategy.

In this case the binary search algorithm is stuck, because the first half doesn't result in a simplification, second half doesn't result in a simplification either.

But right now, for simplification, we're assuming a risk free discount rate.

Scott McCloud and his book, Understanding Comics, talks about amplification through simplification.

But from now on we'll have the simplification that debt is your liability.

And this slide here is the best simplification of the Great Divergence story

Automatic simplification works especially well in situations where the tests are also generated automatically.

And we need an automatic test that checks whether our simplification succeeded or not.

And just as a simplification, mu could be a function of x and y.

Debt isn't the only kind of liability, but that's a pretty reasonable simplification for now.

So what I am going to do in this video is a super over simplification.

When it ruptures, now it sudden i am doing a simplification of the process right over here.

9, 12, and 4, they don't have any common factors, so I can't just do that simplification.

It's this terrible simplification that there's one Africa and things go on in one way in Africa.

Frankly, there's not a lot of simplification we can do, we just have to multiply it out.

So, what happens if we take this big HTML input and run it through our simplification procedure?

We need a strategy that does the simplification for us basically that tells us how to simplify.

In their book, The Practice of Programming, Kernighan and Pike describe a simple binary search simplification strategy.

However, we can also translate this binary search approach directly into a program which does the simplification for us.

It'll work. It'll work.

Work smart, then work hard.

I think it tries to be the best balance between actual representation and simplification the language of way finding in our brain.

I click on Run and you can see that the binary search simplification does not simplify as much as one could imagine.

So let's illustrate once more what happens if we take this HTML string and put this through our binary search simplification process.

Work...

Work

Work

Work?

Work.

And it didn't work, didn't work.

You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out

Now the very key to the success of this map is in the omission of less important information and in the extreme simplification.

And as wondrous as it is, it cannot be reduced to a kind of simplification that we have often come to be admired.

I need to work out after work.

And I'll Work To Work It Out
