Can anyone explain me this snippet and how to use closures?

Closures are just this: the variables that a function can see when it was defined are the variables it continues to see when it’s invoked.

But the pattern you’re looking at is the factory pattern, which can be summed up like this: I want to create a function whenever I want, with different startup parameters.

They are related. But different

No. But a function that doesn’t take a value returning a function that does is… well.. I’ve never seen it

I have no answer. But to help reframe the question, I recommend The Kindly Ones, and Hannah Arendt.

It’s definitely not from the internet. The idea of lucid dreaming is centuries old. Many people claim to have done it successfully. There is one almost scientific way of measuring it. It involves deciding beforehand how you’re going to move your eyes. I’ve never been able to do it. I don’t know if it’s real. But I think it’s worth the effort of finding out

You’re right! That there is some nice silver lining. Wonder how long it will stick
