I think before I get exercised about this I’d like a existence proof. An awful lot of the “racist incidents” in the news turn out to be hoaxes.

The only problem being that this doesn't work: if the args dict doesn't have a value for the 'website' key you get a KeyError. ``` In [3]: args = dict() In [4]: website = args['website'] or "https://imsanjams.tk/" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-4-1810666da1c9> in <module> ----> 1 website = args['website'] or "https://imsanjams.tk/"

The sad thing here is that I *agree* with the main thrust of the article. But (see my other comment) it loses a whole lot of credibility by having so many incorrect assertions.

Okay, seriously, this table is nearly uniformly wrong. OO uses functions where each function performs a specific task; they're just grouped into classes, where all the functions are grouped with the state they reference. The technical term you were looking for is that "side effects". In a functional program, the…

Maybe you're in the wrong major? Is there something that does excite you? Could you do that with a CS minor? Anyway, here's the deal: you can be a coder after a bootcamp. I've got nothing against them; I've taught in three different ones and written curriculum for a fourth…

One token: """ Wrap the whole string in """With subject AS ...""" and you get rid of all the nasty \ line endings — which are also notorious bug traps, since you can't visually distinguish between "\newline" and "\ space newline" — and you follow the usual conventions for long strings. Alternatively, you can exploit the fact that Python automagically concatenates adjacent strings, as with query = (

Light bulbs have lifetimes while burning that are characterized by an exponential distribution, which is also known as a memoryless distribution: the probability of it failing at time t is the same over its entire lifetime. I'm sure this bulb is never turned off or on so it's never confronted with the time most bulbs fail. The most probable, if most implausible, explanation is that of the thousands or millions of light bulbs, this is the one that won the lottery.

Sure, Jeff. What you're demonstrating is that journalism faculty undersigned don't actually care that the 1619 project has been thoroughly debunked as ahistorical, and that even the author has had to admit that it was polemic, not history. It is entirely appropriate for an academic institution to refuse tenure to someone whose academic credentials are that discredited. But then we've known for a long time that journalism has lost its way as an academic subject.
