So, I figured out today that the value of a variable can be a function in javascript. Yes, that's blindingly obvious, but I'm a design wonk who's being sucked into the world of programming because I heeded the siren call of jQuery. It started out with simple mouseover events and …

i thought it would be fun to have a thread for us to share links to rels/phil-related academic papers for those of us who want to GET INTO IT-- either those we've written or others we find interesting. here's one i wrote on how buddhist thought has fundamentally shaped japanese …

Sadly @sencha that link is broken. Is there an update?
Here is a paper I recently read that I found interesting and has me wanting to take a deeper dive into the philosophy of the body and mind.
abstract: Determining the biological function of phenomenal consciousness appears necessary to explain its origin: evolution by natural selection operates on organisms’ traits based on the biological functions they fulfill. But identifying the function of phenomenal consciousness has proven difficult. Some have proposed that the function of phenomenal consciousness is to facilitate mental processes such as reasoning or learning. But mental processes such as reasoning and learning seem to be possible in the absence of phenomenal consciousness. It is difficult to pinpoint in what way phenomenal consciousness enhances these processes or others like them. In this paper, we explore a possibility that has been neglected to date. Perhaps phenomenal consciousness has no function of its own because it is either a by-product of other traits or a (functionless) accident. If so, then phenomenal consciousness has an evolutionary explanation even though it fulfills no biological function.

Okay so I'm taking a class on functional analysis (metric spaces, Cauchy sequences, completeness, etc) and I'm totally lost.
Are there people out there that wouldn't mind helping me if I asked questions? I'm getting killed by this course...
thanks!

Feel free to ask, I've got the physics training on FA, so I can give wrong but intuitively usefull answers to some questions.

I need to replicate a program that was originally written in VBA in HTML/Javascript. I'm making very good progress so far, but have a few areas that I am struggling with a little and could use some help.
I have a class which will handle data entry, and in my …

Sorry i haven't been able to respond to all of the input lately, been a bit busy on other projects and had to put this on hold for a little while. I appreciate all of the extra information; I have a better idea of what I am trying to do, but I'm still not 100% on top of the whole 'prototype' workings just yet. When i can dedicate some time to this issue again, I'll try to put together something to illustrate the parts I still need to understand.
As for the question about using JQuery, I am just starting with Javascript for HTML (All of the javascript I have written until now has been for programming PDF forms, or for automating Adobe CS applications) I really have no experience with HTML, so I just want to start with learning the basics of HTML scripting. I will look into seeing if this would be something useful to me in the future.
Thanks again to everyone.

Honestly, if you're just starting out, you should really learn jQuery first. It allows you to do stuff without knowing everything about how it all works--there are plenty of examples for almost everything you'd want to do. Then, as you learn, you can start picking apart the things you've been practicing and learning what the hell is actually going on.
At least, that's what works for me. It's always easier for me to pick apart something that's already fully functional, and learn it from the inside out, than it is to start with the disassembled parts and build something.
