- Slicing the vector. The most straightforward way to create a shift register is to use vector slicing. Insert the new element at one end of the vector, while simultaneously shifting all of the others one place closer to the output side.

Just some notes on timing: If you're starting with a list, l.append(l.pop(0)) is the fastest method you can use. This can be shown with time complexity alone: deque.rotate is O(k) (k=number of elements). How to “Shift Reality” (According to Experts) So, how is reality shifting done? While I can’t say I’ve successfully shifted (I mean come on, would I really be HERE right now if I could do it?), I was a frequent lucid dreamer as a child, so am familiar with that liberating feeling of total control in a “dream world”.
Do you give someone short shrift or short shift? Is there a difference? Whichever is correct, is it a medieval version of short-sheeting a person, but with monk’s robes, instead of sheets? What on earth is shrift, and can it be long as well as short? It’s fascinating how many questions one can have about an increasingly archaic term.
But you should be able to make quick work of it.
You give short shrift to a person or situation (or can make short shrift of something), not short shift. While the words short and shift may be found used together, it generally is without the fixed set of meanings that short shrift has, and is not something we would define. And no, there is no real connection between giving someone short shrift and short-sheeting their bed.
Short shrift has a small handful of possible meanings. The earliest one is “barely adequate time for confession before execution”; more recent senses are “little or no attention or consideration” (as in ‘I gave him short shrift’) or “quick work,” which is usually found in the phrase make short shrift of.
The use of the confessional sense of short shrift goes back to the 16th century.
….he tooke a preeste at auenture & made a shorte shrift, for a longer would not bee suffred, the protectoure made so muche haste to his dyner, whiche might not goo to it till this murther were dooen for sauing of his vngracious othe.
— John Harding, The Chronicle of Ihon Hardyng in Metre, 1543
If villain, feedest thou me with Ifs & ands, go fetch me a Priest, make a short shrift, and dispatch him quickly For by the blessed Saint Paule I sweare, I will not dine till I see the traitors head.
— Anon. The True Tragedie of Richard the Third, 1594
The extended uses of short shrift, those which do not explicitly refer to a brief confession before dying, are now somewhat more common than the original one.
'If I judged them, I'd give them short shrift!' cried Moore; 'but I mean to let them quite alone this bout, to give them rope enough, certain that in the end they will hang themselves.”
— Charlotte Brontë, Shirley 1849
'Here is a spy of the enemy, General,' said the Sergeant.
'Make short shrift of him! We have no time for courtmartials now.”
— J. B. Jones, Border War, 1859
Now turning to the most important questions, let’s look a what shrift is and whether or not it can be long. A shrift is “a remission of sins pronounced by a priest in the sacrament of reconciliation,” or, more generally, a confession, which explains the earliest sense of short shrift. Etymologically, shrift comes from the Old English word scrīfan, meaning “to shrive.” Shrive means “to free from guilt,” or “to administer the sacrament of reconciliation to,” and comes from the Latin scribere (“to write”). Scribere is the source of both scribble and short shrift.
But can a shrift be long? Well, sure, at least in the sense that anything that may be described as short may be lengthened and made long.
But now thou art in great peril of death and must confess; yet do not overlook any of thy lesser sins through overmuch haste, for we have time for a long shrift ere our riders can be here.
— Frederick Scarlett, Melcombe Manor, 1875
Kill or be killed was the rule of law, and the killer had no long shrift from the law.
— Ernest Bowen-Rowlands, Judgment of Death, 1924
The use of long shrift is very uncommon, and, when found, often seems to be an attempt at punning on short shrift. It’s not wrong to put these words together, but neither is it a fixed phrase. Which means you can give it whatever kind of shrift you want.

Merriam-Webster unabridgedRichard Birch and I are having a discussion on Shiften. He's proclaimed for years that the best method for finding the correct lengths for hip rafters and laying out the back bevel angles, hip rafter side cut angle, was in the Swanson's Blue Book that you get when you purchase their SpeedSquare. So, I went out into my garage yesterday and found the Swanson's Blue Book that came with the last Swanson's Speed® Square I purchased.Shiften = Transfer the dimension in plan view to elevation view.
Shiften = Transfer the dimension in plan view to profile view.
elevation view = profile view
After studying the Shiften - Shiftungen roof framing geometric layout techniques I see no difference in the layout techniques between the Swanson's Blue Book and Shiften. They never mention the word shift or shiften in the Swanson's Blue Book, but it's the same technique that's been used by the French and German carpenters for centuries.

I'm actually impressed with the Swanson's Blue Book for describing this technique no matter what it's called.
I just thumbed thru 'A Roof Cutter's Secrets', by Will Holladay, and even thou Will Holladay does not use the word shiften he still uses the same technique as shiften for the location of the second plumb line on the side of the hip and jack rafter.
We've all used the second plumb line on the side of the rafters with the dimension taken from plan view and drawn each of the views separately, but by combining the the two drawings it's called the Shiftungen layout technique like the drawing above.

Richard and my discussion on the Swanson Blue Book
Sim,
Swanson's has evolved. This is a much better explanation than the earlier versions.
Their diagrams still only refers to the Hip length applied at the outside shoulder. Fig. 11 & 13
The 'Explanation of Shortening of the Hip' (p.23) is new. This is the stuff I recognized from the meager instructions of my older version. And as I remember, their earlier versions were better than the one I have too. They (cheap bastards) obviously have had some user feedback. (or maybe they read my online posts from years back?) For myself, this method is still the best, as I gather from other books or articles, on the same subject. Less confusion once you get it.

This book is still my top pick for recommended reading. The geometric principles laid out in their regular Hip explanation work for every roof I have encountered. There are additional considerations when applying it too Valleys and Broken Hip Rafters. You just need to visualize the shoulder lines breaking the plane of the effective Ridge height. (This is the real secret to understanding the side-cuts/length applications! *No Ridge, then project thru the total Height) *(rotated rafters too? Footprint geometry at Ridge plane? useful?)*Additional Considerations;
1) Valleys are essentially upside down Hips, Cheek bevels reverse directions. (I will drop the unbacked Valley to plane away from the shoulder but short of center. An even reveal for tighter sheathing cuts. )
2) The Irregular Broken Hip rafter may need extra considerations for calculating the length, depending on the relative directions of the two ridges. If they are parallel, [Effective Run = (difference in spans /2) - ridge thickness]. If the ridges are perpendicular, then the hypothetical parallel ridge is (plan-view ratio) proportionate to the lower Ridge. Depending on which is Major or Minor, the ridge thickness deduction affected. (It will be > r/t or < r/t, but not equal to lower r/t)*On my Hips, Reg/Irreg, I mark the Hap plumb lines on both sides of the Heel to make setting it on the corner precise. When both lines are aligned with their wall line, that's where they go. No footprint layout needed.
*yes, thicker lumber will need modified approaches. I calc the bevel short points at each shoulder, and cut to the center.
I hope you have found this exchange of information beneficial, as I have. I have taken this Swanson's concept to new levels, far beyond where they leave off. (but they're getting better.) And this is why I post the stuff I do. The H/V- drop/shift issue is not a dead horse, it's a simple-stuff Thoroughbred. =) (as concepts go . . . . )
Thanks,
Richard

of determining the angular pitch of a roof
Swanson® History
The Swanson® Speed® Square and the One-Number Method™ of determining the angular pitch of a roof were first developed in 1925 by a carpenter named Albert J. Swanson. As his fellow tradesmen began to appreciate the ingenuity of his idea, they wanted their own Speed® Squares. Swanson began to hand-make the squares to fill requests for the tool. Demand for the work-saving tool continued to grow, and in 1930 the Swanson® Speed® Square was first sold in interstate commerce. By 1945, Swanson started Swanson® Tool Company, Inc., to manufacture and sell the Swanson® Speed® Square through recognized channels of distribution. His son, Ronald C. Swanson, assumed control of the company in 1971 and added other quality tools to the line.

Richard Birch's method,One Length Method, that he developed from the Swansons Blue Book. Measure from the plumb line shifted at the foot of the hip rafter using the hip rafter length to ridge dimension, 29 1/4', to the long point of the hip rafter. Then use the Adjacent Plan Angle as the Saw Blade Bevel Angle to cut along the long point of the hip rafter plumb line shifted forward .
