Literature | Lazy Lazy as David Lawrence's dog. Here Lawrence is a corruption of Larrence, an imaginary being supposed by Scottish peasantry to preside over the lazy and indolent. Laziness is called "Larrence." (See and compare Davy Jones.) Lazy as Joe, the marine, who laid down has musket to sneeze. (Sailor's proverb.) Lazy as Ludlam's dog, which leaned has head against the wall to bark. This Ludlam was the famous sorceress of Surrey, who lived in a cave near Farnham, called "Ludlam's Cave." She kept a dog, noted for its laziness, so that when the rustics came to consult the witch, it would hardly condescend to give notice of their approach, even with the ghost of a bark. (Ray: Proverbs.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In computer programming, and in particular in functional languages, lazy evaluation is also known as non-strict evaluation. An expression, when lazily evaluated, is not evaluated as soon as it gets bound to a variable, but when something forces the evaluator to produce the expression's value.Key advantages of lazy evaluation are, notably, that lazy evaluation allows programmers to produce infinite sequences without pushing the evaluator into an endless loop, and other neat things.
The opposite of lazy evaluation is eager evaluation, also known as strict evaluation which is the normal (and often only) evaluation method in most programming languages.
In the Scheme programming language, lazy evaluation (in Scheme jargon, "delayed" evaluation) can be forced by using
(define delayed-expression (delay expression)). Then(force delayed-expression)will yield the value ofexpression.There are some programming languages where expressions are lazily evaluated by default. Haskell is one such language.
Lazy evaluation as a design pattern
As well as the formal concept of lazy evaluation in functional languages, lazy evaluation is a design pattern often seen in general computer programming.
For example, in modern computer window managers, the painting of information to the screen is driven by "expose events" which drive the display code at the last possible moment. By doing this, they avoid the over-eager computation of unnecessary display content.
Another example of laziness in modern computer systems is copy-on-write page allocation.

Health | Many people think that obese individuals are gluttonous, lazy, or both, even though this is not true. As a result, obese people often face prejudice or discrimination in the job market, at school, and in social situations. (references) | |
Teachers sometimes fail to realize they have a language problem, and dismiss them as lazy, saying they could do the work if they would only try. Many become so quiet that teachers forget they're even in the room. As a result, they fall farther and farther behind, and eventually may be held back a grade. (references) | ||
Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | KING, n. A male person commonly known in America as a "crowned head," although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of. A king, in times long, long gone by, Said to his lazy jester: "If I were you and you were I My moments merrily would fly -- Nor care nor grief to pester." "The reason, Sire, that you would thrive," The fool said -- "if you'll hear it -- Is that of all the fools alive Who own you for their sovereign, I've The most forgiving spirit." Oogum Bem KING'S :EVIL:, n. A malady that was formerly cured by the touch of the sovereign, but has now to be treated by the physicians. Thus 'the most pious Edward" of England used to lay his royal hand upon the ailing subjects and make them whole -- a crowd of wretched souls That stay his cure: their malady convinces The great essay of art; but at his touch, Such sanctity hath Heaven given his hand, They presently amend, as the "Doctor" in Macbeth hath it. This useful property of the royal hand could, it appears, be transmitted along with other crown properties; for according to "Malcolm," 'tis spoken To the succeeding royalty he leaves The healing benediction. But the gift somewhere dropped out of the line of succession: the later sovereigns of England have not been tactual healers, and the disease once honored with the name "king's evil" now bears the humbler one of "scrofula," from scrofa, a sow. The date and author of the following epigram are known only to the author of this dictionary, but it is old enough to show that the jest about Scotland's national disorder is not a thing of yesterday. Ye Kynge his evill in me laye, Wh. he of Scottlande charmed awaye. He layde his hand on mine and sayd: "Be gone!" Ye ill no longer stayd. But O ye wofull plyght in wh. I'm now y-pight: I have ye itche! The superstition that maladies can be cured by royal taction is dead, but like many a departed conviction it has left a monument of custom to keep its memory green. The practice of forming a line and shaking the President's hand had no other origin, and when that great dignitary bestows his healing salutation on strangely visited people, All swoln and ulcerous, pitiful to the eye, The mere despair of surgery, he and his patients are handing along an extinguished torch which once was kindled at the altar-fire of a faith long held by all classes of men. It is a beautiful and edifying "survival" -- one which brings the sainted past close home in our "business and bosoms." |
