The same way that you implement a language that does look like Common Lisp: macros, specifically reader macros.

This is the definition of fascism according to Mussolini:

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

"Le landsknecht frappe à minuit."

TBH, I mostly only use threads with C++, so I should have reflected that in my previous comment. Thank you for sharing your response, I did know that about threads in Python.

I've mostly only used threads in toy/practice programs in Python. I use the subprocess module a lot.

I suppose I should reread my posts more carefully before hitting submit.

The project I work on uses many non-MT safe modules. Encode being the main one. You simply cannot use threads in Perl with non-MT safe modules.

In C++ or Python, if you have non-MT safe code, you can implement a MT safe wrapper with locks or atomics.

I honestly used to think: "I don't need Python. I have Perl." I started messing around with Python a few years ago, and I found it to be usable despite the white space issues. I use it mostly for small utilities that I might have otherwise written in Perl.

I still probably write more Perl than any other language. I'm paid to work on a large F/OSS project that is mostly written in Perl. Sometimes, I curse the Perl layer because too many people have introduced too many different idioms into the code over the years. There are some things that the architecture of Perl 5 makes very hard to do that are dead easy in Python, threads for instance.

Yeahp. Say is basically pointless. Just type "$\ = '\n';" and you get a newline after every print.

I used to really like Perl, but the more I've used it for complicated things, the less I like it. I've been using other languages, particularly Python and C++, for things that I used to do in Perl.

I doubt that you actually watch Fox News. I'm subjected to it on a routine basis because of family members living in the same house.

Tucker Carlson is NOT all of Fox News. He's the lone loony voice. He's also the most popular because he says what he "thinks" off the cuff.

How 'bout you pay some attention to the vast number of other Fox News hosts. They pretty much always say the following when it comes to vaccines in this order:

1. We're vaccinated.
2. It's an individual's choice if they get vaccinated or not.
3. We recommend you get vaccinated if you can.
4. Consult your physician.

You are wrong about Fox News. Everyone at Fox News is vaccinated. If a Fox News employee refused to get vaccinated, they were fired or asked to resign. The management made it a requirement. NB: I'm only talking about the national Fox News. I don't know about any of the affiliate stations.

Also, every time they discuss the vaccines, they say it is up to individuals to make the choice for themselves, but they always point out that they are vaccinated and they recommend that everyone get vaccinated who does not have a medical reason not to do so.

You should watch the opposition to see what they actually sometimes rather than just relying on what other people say they say.

You know that all of the safety and efficacy data comes directly from the drug manufacturer, right? You know that Pfizer was fined $4.3 billion US dollars for lying about the safety and efficacy of their drugs for decades? You know that there was no management shake up, no one fired, no changes made at Pfizer after the fine was levied?

They lied before. I assume that they are still lying. Which is the biggest reason that I have not and will never get the shot. It's a scam, like just about everything else in the USA.

Big surprise.

Do you listen to yourself? Do you really believe what you are saying?

It's that attitude, not the gene therapy posing as a vaccine not the virus and its actual death toll, that scares me. That attitude, coupled with mass, blind obedience, never leads to any good outcomes for anyone or for society in general. The greatest atrocities in history have always come from people who were so smugly convinced that they were right and those who obeyed. The danger posed by those who disobey is minuscule by comparison.

Bull shit! "Our democracy" does NOT do what the people want. It has not done that, really ever.

Actually, no, it isn't. In the United State of America, at least, you can make your own currency and use it with anyone willing to accept it so long as it is plainly obvious that your currency is not legal tender and that no one is forced into accepting it. Look up Ithaca Hours on Google for one such example.

Counterfeiting is imitating another currency, such as the US Federal Reserve Note or any other sovereign currency.

Non-sovereign currencies have existed for centuries. Europe used to have quite a few classes of trade coins minted by various organizations to use in common trade. Ducats are an example of this.

Companies issue stock all the time. In a sense, two people investing in a private, joint venture business are issuing stock. There's nothing illegal in that, either. What's illegal is lying about the value of the stock.

As for Bitcoin being a Ponzi scheme...In my opinion, pretty much every currency in use today is a Ponzi scheme. Bitcoin is less so because there is presently a cap on the total amount that will be created. There's nothing stopping the Federal Reserve from issuing an infinite amount of US dollars.

They should just be accepted as a cost of freedom and rejected as a highly improbable occurrence.

In addition, the U.S. gov't should stop oppressing people both at home and abroad. If they spent as much time looking after the interests of the average citizen and the common good of all Americans, and not just the wealthiest, most influential in the top one tenth of one percent of the population, we would not be the target of terrorist attacks.
