1. Restriction

   In mathematics, the notion of restriction of a function is defined as follows: If f : E → F is a function from E to F, and A is a subset of E, then the restriction of f to A is the function More generally, the restriction A ◁ R of a binary relation R between E and F may be defined as a relation having domain A, codomain F and graph G = { ∈ G | x ∈ A}. Similarly, one can define a right-restriction or range restriction R ▷ B. The domain anti-restriction of a function or binary relation R by a set A may be defined as ◁ R; it removes all elements of A from the domain E. It is sometimes denoted A ⩤ R. Similarly, the range anti-restriction of a function or binary relation R by a set B is defined as R ▷; it removes all elements of B from the codomain F. It is sometimes denoted R ⩥ B.

1. restriction

   A bug or design error that limits a program's capabilities, and which is sufficiently egregious that nobody can quite work up enough nerve to describe it as a feature. Often used (esp. by marketroid types) to make it sound as though some crippling bogosity had been intended by the designers all along, or was forced upon them by arcane technical constraints of a nature no mere user could possibly comprehend (these claims are almost invariably false).Old-time hacker Joseph M. Newcomer advises that whenever choosing a quantifiable but arbitrary restriction, you should make it either a power of 2 or a power of 2 minus 1. If you impose a limit of 107 items in a list, everyone will know it is a random number — on the other hand, a limit of 15 or 16 suggests some deep reason (involving 0- or 1-based indexing in binary) and you will get less flamage for it. Limits which are round numbers in base 10 are always especially suspect.
