hitherto

It's really quite something when an author manages to put down in words a thought or a feeling you were hitherto incapable of expressing. Bravo.

I've been mostly a Python developer hitherto, but I'd never have tried something like this in Pythonit simply wouldn't work. You need a type system like Rust's before it can work, but then it really works.

There are now a lot more variables for you to consider, as the hitherto rational party on the other side of the table has been forced to question all of your statements. He is now much more likely to miscalculate true statements and positions as being false.

At which point do you stop doing an activity that you've been hitherto commended for? From a market perspective it probably makes sense to have regulations restricting some cases of anti-competitive practices.

The aesthetic explanation would be some hitherto unknown weakly interacting massive particle.

The whole premise of this article is "Facebook gave me this access to their platform for free hitherto, so I'm entitled to this access on those same terms in perpetuity; it's unfair for them to start charging for it." I don't see the author explaini why s/he is entitled to these same terms forever.

These 'server farms' provided compute at hitherto un-heard of low costs, and access to the web became much more ubiquitous. That set up the situation where even if you could offer a service where you got just a few dollars per 1,000 requests to this farm, like a real farm harvesting corn, you made it up in volume.

Absent mindedly creating an hitherto unknown revenue stream that lets you apply licensing fees to everyone under the sun and destroying the software industry as a sort of half-baked by-product is just fine, if you didn't mean to do it at the beginning? really?

In the mean time, I couldn't play any sport or a music instrument; couldn't do any independent "project", be it art or science, as I was never tasked with creative work hitherto. I could parrot trignometric identities and chemical properties of hundreds of substance.

> you could get the governments to stop making stupid decisions/laws I know we live in an age of hitherto unimagined prosperity and wealth and miracles, but you may be reaching a little too far.

All these crazy valuations may be secondary effects from a larger, hitherto unseen bubble. -Credit/Money: We are currently printing money to finance our lifestyle here in the US. China currently holds around 3 trillion US dollars and the dollar is only worth something as long as they don't try to cash out.

The express purpose of the panopticon is behavior modification, what Bentham described as a new mode of obtaining power of mind over mind, in a quantity hitherto without example. No such prison was ever built to Benthams specifications.

On the contrary, the aim is clearly to add new first-hand information to the public debate, which has hitherto been deliberately biased by extensive and coordinated efforts to repress that info.

A user may wonder what is the difference between clicking on the dark blue File toolbar tab, versus clicking on the menu button in the very top of the titlebar, versus pressing Alt to reveal the hitherto hidden menubar? While the Manage ribbon tab appears at the same hierarchy level as Home, Share and View, it has a brightly coloured tab _above_ it labelled "Library Tools".

Part of what makes Lisp work, IMO, is that you never try to type foo - bar, so you never run into an accident by mistakenly typing foo-bar and having the parser think you meant a hitherto undefined symbol. Whether thats a worthy tradeoff is a matter of opinion, and Ill take Avdis word for it that he believes the benefits of calling symbols foo-bar outweigh the odd time you might type the wrong thing.

The sciences, each straining it its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. -From the opening paragraph of The Call of Cthulhu, H. P. Lovecraft

Better to die than to go living here' - thus responds the imperious voices and temptation; and this 'here', this 'at home' is everything it had hitherto loved! A sudden terror and suspicion of what it loved, a lightning-bolt of contempt for what it called 'duty', a rebellious, arbitrary, volcanically erupting desire for travel, strange places, estrangements, coldness, soberness, frost, a hatred of love, perhaps a desecrating blow and glance backwards to where it formerly loved and worshipped.

Here it is: In studying a philosopher, the right attitude is neither reverence nor contempt, but first a kind of hypothetical sympathy, until it is possible to know what it feels like to believe in his theories, and only then a revival of the critical attitude, which should resemble, as far as possible, the state of mind of a person abandoning opinions which he hitherto held. Contempt interferes with the first part of this process, and reverence with the second.

\n \n With this hope, however, academies have been instituted, to guard the avenues\n of their languages, to retain fugitives, and repulse intruders; but their\n vigilance and activity have hitherto been vain; sounds are too volatile and\n subtile for legal restraints; to enchain syllables, and to lash the wind, are\n equally the undertakings of pride, unwilling to measure its desires by its\n strength. \n\nI suppose early lexicographers had to become a master of language themselves - or persuade themselves it was so.

Cries of protest against the slackness of American education, hitherto raised only by a small number of educational critics, were now taken up by television, mass magazines, businessmen, scientists, politicians, admirals, and university presidents, and soon swelled into a national chorus of self-reproach. Of course, all this did not immediately cause the vigilante mind to disappear, nor did it disperse anti-intellectualism as a force in American life; even in the sphere most immediately affected, that of education, the ruling passion of the public seemed to be for producing more Sputniks, not for developing more intellect, and some of the new rhetoric about education almost suggested that gifted children were to be regarded as resources in the cold war.
