I don't know how Workrave does this, whether it simply relies on a library or has lots of custom heuristics, but unless Stretchly has evolved since I evaluated it, I...

The right question would be how comparable apps work. I unfortunately only evaluated 2 or 3 apps of the kind, but the one I know well, Workrave, which is the...

Thank you @ppkarwasz and @vy The revised names and descriptions and much less misleading and clearer. I suggested tweakings to descriptions via comments in d7917eb.

Thanks @mohrezaei but I do not get your point. Suppose that: `Predicate intTester = org.eclipse.collections.impl.block.factory.Predicates.greaterThan(50);` Do you agree that `intTester` is "a `Predicate`"? And if so, are you claiming that...

Thanks @mohrezaei Do you agree that [BooleanPredicates.ALWAYS_TRUE](https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse-collections/blob/master/eclipse-collections/src/main/java/org/eclipse/collections/impl/block/factory/primitive/BooleanPredicates.java#L24) is "a `Predicate`"?

Thanks @mohrezaei > Yes, in the general sense of lambda/closure, it is. See the wikipedia articles. lambda/closure has a long history far longer and richer than the meager implementation in...

Thanks @mohrezaei , that question is interesting, and there are definitely multiple senses for these terms. Is `BooleanPredicates.ALWAYS_TRUE` a "closure" (according to the way you personally define that term)?

Thank you @mohrezaei I think the confusion is much clearer now. So, I do agree that `BooleanPredicates.ALWAYS_TRUE` **can** be **represented** by a "closed" lambda expression. So it would be correct...
