The code in the examples is not valid in any historical version of C. The use of the -> operator with an implicit int as the left argument ("entry" in the examples) was only valid from 1975 in Unix C (but not in GCOS C) until K&R C in 1978. The use of C++ style comments ("//") is only valid in standard C since 1999.
There's no point in arguing over pseudocode as if it's C.
That information is very elementary. There are thousands of scientific studies where that information is the basis of what they're studying the details of. For an overload of articles on sorts of fat in the diet going into the lymph, you can just Google: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition lymph.
The following quote is some basic information about cloudy blood:
Turbid, cloudy or milky serum (lipemic serum) may be produced by the presence of fatty substances (lipids) in the blood. Bacterial contamination may also cause cloudy serum. Moderately or grossly lipemic specimens may alter certain test results.
A recent meal may produce transient lipemia; therefore, we recommend that patients fast 12-16 hours before a blood specimen is obtained.
Fat causes overweight and the diseases that go along with overweight. Nutrition science has never wavered on that. Fat goes to the lymph and the excess is dumped into the bloodstream, making the blood obviously cloudy and with fat separating to the top, which you can see if you ever see people get blood drawn after a heavy meal. Then the fat is taken up by fat cells. That's where the body load of fat comes from. That's science. They've measured that the sorts of fat stored are the same fatty acids as the fat eaten. It works the same in all animals. That's part of agricultural science too, not just human nutritional science.
The current majority of people who believe that high fat diets are good for something other than getting fat and that carbohydrates cause obesity is no more a sign of a change in science than any popular political or religious belief.
It's a very popular conspiracy theory that nutritional scientists and doctors who follow them are part of or corrupted by the powerful vegan lobby, while the meat and dairy and processed added-oil food and fast food industries have the ideal products for making you thin, as long as you skip the traditional starches in those products, because everyone knows that the all the world's old cultures that lived on potatoes or rice or corn or wheat were full of massively obese people, and it's not until they got modern food industry amounts of butter, manufactured oil, and soybean-fed chicken that they became the crowds of dangerously thin looking people that you see in old pictures.
(I'm going to get downvoted into invisibility for being right, but people's health is at stake, so I'm going to reply anyway.)
The focus on rent is a good legacy of George's theory. However, I was quickly disappointed by the book that was linked. George was doing well critiquing previous economic theory that had separate theories of wages, rent, and profit. He showed instead that it must be that production = wages + rent + interest, as a formula that relates them and can be rearranged. Then in the next chapter, 12, he falls into a sort of absurdity about the nature of interest, where he claims interest exists because of natural increase, such as of bees or ageing wine, and wouldn't exist otherwise.
That's not an advanced enough theory of why there's interest on capital and the rate of it. It doesn't even seem quite sane, in comparison with the example of reasoning that he was setting and teaching up to that point. There should be some school of economics that promotes a George-like view of rent, but that isn't embarrassing when it comes to explaining capital and interest.
Productivity growth is measured in terms of the lowest quality mass produced consumer goods that are still around across the decades, because it's measured along with estimating inflation, which is measured that way. So inflation has been higher than the conventional government provided numbers, and productivity growth lower. You can buy more cheap boxed stuff for an hour's wages, and you can get much more advanced technology and other advances in the quality of products and services. But people can't live on enhanced quality, phones with more features, or increased quantities of the lowest quality of food, when they're trying to live an American lifestyle that takes a car, housing, medical care, education, and so on.
Also consider that the median wage in the U.S. includes the effect of a lot of immigration. Average immigrants make more than they would in their countries of origin, but less than average Americans, while average American born workers have done better than the median statistic. College educated American born workers have done better yet, but a lot of that increase has been paid in the form of mortgages and rent to retirees and the rich, because of urban housing market inflation, as ScottBurson pointed out.
That seems better. However, the return values were almost too dark to read while there's daylight, and I got only eight commands into it before I found an error. (mod -3 5) returns -3. I don't know if that error is just in this implementation, or in many versions of Common Lisp, but a quick search shows there are versions of Common Lisp where mod is implemented correctly. (In mathematics, -3 = 2 modulo 5, or equivalently (-3 mod 5) = 2. Even Python knows that -3 % 5 == 2, where '%' is Python's modulus operator.)
I know. I saw that link and viewed it. I listed what verbs I figured out on my own (found within the game or guessed) as a comment on what the whole user experience of the game was like. It left me feeling like avoiding Lisp, even after I tried again and--only because of getting tips from the comments here--got into the Lisp interpreter part. It was still a frustrating guessing game with no point.
The only verbs I found on my own were 'help' 'info' 'I' 'exit' and 'quit', which all cause it to do useless or nonsensical things, including 'quit' which apparently caused it to finish the game. Game finished successfully, in one page. I completely don't get why people would want to spend time guessing what 'verbs' a command line interpreter recognizes. It's also very bad because when it does 'recognize' a verb, it doesn't take it as a command for it to do something, but seems to reinterpret it as having some ungrammatical relation to a fictional story.
