2017-04-04 at 3:41 AM UTC in What does `map()` do that a `for` loop doesn't?So the literal answer is that`map(...)` is an expression (it evaluates to some value) while `for ... in ...: ...` is a statement, that is you cant do something like:
new_list = for x in range(10): x+1
although you can
new_list = []
for x in range(1): new_list.append(x+1)
but
new_list = map(range(10), lambda x: x+1)
does work.
The better answer is that they convey a different intention. `map()` indicates you're creating a new sequence with a 1:1 correspondence with its first argument, to do anything else with it would be really bad style. A for loop can be used to create a new sequence with a 1:1 correspondence with the thing being iterated over, but it can be used in a more general way as well. For example you could do something like:
for filename in files_to_make:
f = open(filename, 'w')
f.write('lol\n')
f.close()
This doesn't produce a new list, it takes some action with side effects for each item in an input sequence. By contrast map is much more constrained, it always produces a new list and it will always have the same length as the input list.
You might wonder why we would ever use a less powerful construct like map. The main reason is that it conveys meaning better, because there are fewer things you can do with it, it's more obvious what you intend when you use it. Compare with while vs. for loops. While is a more powerful construct, it can be used to iterate over a sequence like for, but it can also loop indefinitely until some condition is met. We prefer for however because it makes it explicit what exactly we're iterating over. Likewise map makes it explicit that you're producing a new bijective sequence from an existing one. You can also use the length equality and callback convention for some optimizations like preallocation and memoization, but that's kind of an aside, not every language that implements lisp map (python's map is inherited from lisp) does this.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I seriously started writing a telnet interface to ISS a couple of weekends ago as a throwback to totse. It should actually be pretty straight forward but there's just a lot of code that would need to be written. I kinda still want to do it though, have some fun ideas around reusing existing views.

How to make a chatbox in python or can I just look it up and steal some code?.
The vast majority of the code is python. Unfortunately the simplest modern web stack is still polyglot. At minimum you need a server side language like python and two declarative presentation languages, HTML and CSS. The latter two are relatively simple though. It's also very common to use javascript for client side scripting, which ISS does. Something like a chatbox would require it, although the realtime nature of a chatbox means a good implementation will require some kind of more sophisticated transport strategy, not another language but websockets and longpolling impose special infrastructural requirements.
All that said though, you can definitely contribute productively to ISS (the NiS software) with just python.

2017-04-02 at 8:52 AM UTC in Is Time An Illusion?Clearly there is a entirely human-constructed and arbitrary culture of time, things like dates, measures, etc. But it seems like there's an underlying physical element of time as well. Physical phenomena seem to be variable over some non-spacial dimension which we measure after-the-fact. Indeed the very notion of "phenomenon" seems to have an implicitly temporal facet.
In fact qualities I think you'd agree are natural, things like size, mass, etc. are measured by arbitrary means but we generally agree are "real" and non-illusory, at least under normal conditions.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by aldra probably base64, you can tell because base64 uses = for padding and it's padded to a multiple of 3.
base64 is used to be able to store and transfer non-printable symbols to save them being lost or having to be escaped in transmission, the implication being that the original text contains nonstandard characters - it's likely a hash or encoded data that's been converted to base64 for ease of transmission
This seems reasonable, it doesn't decode to anything obvious. If it's salted then the salt needs to be stored separately, either concatenated with the hash with some delimiter between or in a different field.
Also the use of + and / give you a little information, since the output character set of B64 encoding is not fixed not all encoders will produce output with those characters in it.
