Chapter 281 Establishing order amidst chaos

Occam's razor is a very old rule.

This rule of logic was first proposed by the 14th-century Franciscan monk William of Occam, who said in "Commentary on Proverbs" Volume 2, Title 15, "Don't waste extra time doing something that can be done with less time.

thing".

In other words, if there are many theories about the same problem, each of which can make equally accurate predictions, then the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be chosen. Although more complex methods usually make better predictions, it is not necessary to consider

In the case of predictive power (that is, the results are roughly the same), the fewer assumptions, the better.

The most far-reaching statement involving Occam's razor is the statement "Don't multiply entities unless necessary."

The core idea of ​​many technicians who advocate simple design concepts is probably "Don't add entities if unnecessary."

In particular, many technical personnel who are accustomed to doing subtraction are more or less affected by this kernel.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Elizabeth Nice would admire this simple design concept at the core.

Speaking of which, Lin Hui actually advocates the concept of simple design.

However, regarding the understanding of simple design, Lin Hui feels that the key point is not the amount of entities.

Meaningful and timeless beauty lies in simplicity, clarity, and efficiency.

In Lin Hui's view, the principle of both plain and simple design is not to cut out the complex and keep it simple.

Rather, it establishes order among chaos.

Of course, compared to cutting out the complex and simplifying, establishing order among the complex is not so easy to achieve overnight.

Not to mention establishing a widely accepted order, it is not that easy to establish general norms amidst the chaos.

After all, many times the purpose of establishing order is not to seek the greatest common denominator among numerous things.

Instead, put aside the complicated things and find another set of more efficient standards.

Because of this, establishing order among chaos often requires tracing back to the source.

Dare to go back the same way is a kind of courage in itself, but being able to take a different path requires ability.

There are many people with courage, but not many people with ability.

Lin Hui just silently kept the concept of establishing order among chaos in his heart.

Because before you have the strength to compete with it, this statement will only be regarded as nonsense.

But Lin Hui believes that one day he will implement the ideas he upholds.

In addition to the future road and design concepts, Elizabeth Nice also talked a lot with Lin Hui.

Including but not limited to some interesting anecdotes about Elizabeth Neshi's workplace encounters and past development experiences.

These trivial and complicated things are not worth mentioning.

After dinner with Elizabeth Nice.

Lin Hui and Elizabeth Nice said goodbye to each other.

After that, Lin Hui received news from Hu Xin.

Hu Xin was the leader of the reporter who interviewed Lin Hui for "Digital Youth" a few days ago.

Hu Xin said that she had already written the first draft related to Lin Hui’s previous interview.

But for the sake of the rigor of the final draft.

She planned to pay another return visit to Lin Hui.

Um, return visit??

Although Lin Hui felt there was no need to pay a return visit.

But during the last interview.

Hu Xin has a clear voice and well-spoken words.

Coupled with good looks and good temperament.

Hu Xin left a good impression on Lin Hui.

Moreover, "Digital Youth" is also an official media outlet after all.

Lin Hui had no reason to push back and block reporters from the state media.

Just as he was hesitating, Lin Hui received another message from Hu Xin. When it came to a return visit, there was no need for photography and recording.

In this case, it saves a lot of trouble.

Lin Hui thought for a while, then no longer hesitated and agreed to Hu Xin's request for a return visit.
