I know exactly how you feel. I worked in IT for a small, very specialized group in a large (5000+) corporation. Fortunately my group maintained the hardware/software for a corporate core function (AGC/SCADA/electric utility). As such we were insulated from the rest of the IT insanity. Eventually to further insulate us we were removed completely from IT and put directly under the engineers in charge of transmission/distribution (another hell, but at least a lesser one).

A tad late to the party but a recursive approach seems to work.

def Collapse(lst):

result = \[\]

for item in lst:
    if type(item) == list:
        result.extend(Collapse(item))
    else:
        result.append(item)

return result

a = [1, [2, 3, [3.1, 3.2]], 4]
b = Collapse(a)

print(a)
print(b)

Got the email for Nov 16 & 17 so it appears to be fixed for now. Thanks.

I did not get the Daily Insider on Friday.

Nope. Still not getting it.

OK Thanks. I'll keep an eye out tomorrow.

I don't know why, but I have stopped receiving The Insider daily email again. The last one I received was Nov 6. This happened a couple of weeks ago. I checked my settings and I still have it selected. It just stopped coming. This is not the third time this has happened.

Got Friday. Thanks.

Yeah. As long as I was resetting my preferences I thought I'd see what the weekly looks like. BTW, nothing in the junk folder. It's a mystery for sure. Thanks for the link to the archives.

Are you currently having a problem with the daily newsletters? I received one on Oct 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. I reset my preferences on Oct 15 and received the newsletter on Oct 16 but nothing since then. Is there an online area where I can read the ones I missed?
