A few unnecessary Python comprehensions for you:

new_list = [x for x in old_iterable]
new_dict = {k: v for k, v in old_dict.items()}

Those are equivalent to:

new_list = list(old_iterable)
new_dict = dict(old_dict)

Listen I know we need a lot of variables in math. A single alphabet won’t due. So capital and lower case letters can be different variables. I can even roll with the idea that letters of the same case in different *typefaces* can be distinct— but, I still find the abusive use of C in Hoggs Mathematical Statistics a little extreme… we couldn’t get more distinct typefaces? How many students have cried because you did this, Hogg? (i otherwise love this textbook it so fun) /math rant

It was flashing blades the whole time, but I (white) won by over 50 points despite losing all four corners.
