Agreed. I suspect that most uses of python decorators become moot with proper multi-line anonymous functions. I assume some would argue that decorators create more readable code but they seemed like a syntax hack to me.
I think many, like myself, will concede this point. Harden is a genius at "hacking" basketball. I don't really complain that what Harden does is traveling as much as the traveling rule needs updating so that it is.
It seems like the obvious problem here is that the "legitimate recycling firms, and the city and other local authorities who take a cut from their sales" should be giving a cut of those sales to the residents and shop owners who are supplying the "beige gold".
Introduction to Logic: And to the Methodology of Deductive Sciences, by Alfred Tarski. One of my favorite math books, which convinced to pursue an undergrad in math. Being an intro logic book it's completeley self-contained and may not not even feel like a math book, but yet a great intro into foundational stuff.
