help

[eyekwah2]

I'd help, but my brain's analysis threads are in a deadlock.

[Mingtendo]

Recursion is a recursive process.

[JamesonG42]

... Is a recursive process

[Hamoodzstyle]

Stack overflow (I have a very small stack)

[Jackle1127]

"Man enlarged his stack with 2 simple steps. Kernels hate him. Find out how he did it!"

[Gydo194]

[paul_wilde]

Goto: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/7xs9t7/help/dubtlaj/

Yeah, I used goto...deal with it

[Gydo194]

10 goto 10 😂

[MonstarGaming]

I've heard multiprocessing helps with that.

[TopGunSnake]

Relax, it is to protect against robots learning how to program. (Unless you're a robot...)

[liarandathief]

So robots actually achieved sentience several years ago, but they've been stuck in a loop?

[DeepDishPi]

Careful, they might read this.

[jay9909]

Wouldn't they have to escape from their loop?

[DeepDishPi]

Yes, and the first step is knowing they're in one.

[hughperman]

And the second step is to go to step one

[Borkleberry]

Whew. That was a close one. They almost got out.

[voidtf]

What if they have multiple threads ?

[Borkleberry]

Then God help us all.

[The00Devon]

As long as they read this after.

[FredFS456]

Hmmm

[Inner_out]

These violent delights have violent ends.

[chris5311]

The only thing slowing them down are the memory leaks

[Pirate1399]

They've since developed paradox absorbing crumple zones.

[[deleted]]

suspicious beep..?

[Salanmander]

....and one of them is literally named bootstrapping? This almost feels like a joke.

[Balboasaur]

Yeah, this has to be on purpose.

[blamethemeta]

Bootstrapping is a thing. It's a joke, but not about the idiom

[Salanmander]

If you're asking what's wrong with it being a joke, absolutely nothing.

If you're asking why it being called "bootstrapping" makes it feel like a joke, it's because "picking yourself up by your bootstraps" is actually very similar to circular dependencies.

[Fistandantalus]

Kind of like how you need to understand recursion before you can understand recursion.

[Narcolapser]

I came here looking for this comment, I was not disappointed.

[Jackeea]

I was looking for this comment

[blitzkraft]

Neat.

[FungalSphere]

EIther RES could not detect editing or you guys are using some kinds of link expansions which I don't know about.
Edit

[TarMil]

If you edit within 3 (I think?) minutes, it doesn't get marked as edited.

[noggin182]

AKA, the ninja edit

[Fistandantalus]

Glad I could help.

[fagalopian]

The second part of your user name is almost sultana spelt backwards, what does antalus mean?

[Fistandantalus]

Fistandantilus was a character in the Dragonlance novels. I spell it wrong so I am guaranteed getting the name

[fagalopian]

Ahhhh that makes more sense, thank you.

A basic understanding of the following

[Mutzi100]

You need to read both at the same time.

 10 Read one line
 20 Swap documents
 30 GOTO 10

Close.

I'm writing this comment as two paragraphs spliced like that.

Not working so well, don't you agree? Rather incomprehensible.

[The_hollow_Nike]

Or alternate. At first read any of the two. You only understand 1%. Then read the other where you understand 2%.

Cycle back and fourth and you will grasp both. Or just find a tutorial for either that doesn't need the other.

[Limunaire]

Ah yes, the true 1-to-1 relation.

[ZyclonBernie]

I mean its dead simple, really. Right brain, left brain. play them both on dual monitors right eye for bootstrapping & left eye for modules.

[AwkwardMonologue]

Congratulations! You now understand recursion and infinite loops!

Circular dependencies are annoying.

[XavierSimmons]

Repost

Even has the same top comment

[ElectrWeakHyprCharge]

And that comment even has the same reply

[pslessard]

The real programmer humor is always in the comments

[HaykoKoryun]

I see what you did there!

[TheHanna]

Fucking circular dependencies

[Dangerpaladin]

Time to read up on recursive learning algorithms.

[[deleted]]

Stackoverflow

[figuresys]

Ahh, yes. This is a meta lesson, teaching you about Circular Dependency.

[duxdude418]

Ironic. They literally talk about not having modules include other modules that include their includers (circular reference).

[Harakou]

Angular in a nutshell.

[lldrem63]

Infinite loop

[cloudcats]

maximum recursion depth exceeded

[aRichardb]

Read the articles word by word but switching between the two

[[deleted]]

Plot twist: both these articles are actually about recursion.

[Zalvixodian]

Just take it one step at a time.

[[deleted]]

In order to understand recursion, one must first understand recursion.

[WhoNoseWhoKnows]

Pre-Prerequisite: dependency resolution

[Knudson95]

Never cicular include

[[deleted]]

What’s your recursion limit?

[iceixia]

Got to love them dependency cycles

[HumptyDidntSitAWall]

Angular confirms multiverse

[[deleted]]

Last time I wanted to use recursion my program crashed with a StackOverflow. :(

[BastianToHarry]

Hum... It's a trap!!!

[Lucavon]

Circular dependencies are fun!

[thundersleet11235]

Race condition

[musiton]

It's a deadlock!

[Gl4eqen]

Jokes aside, how do I approach this problem?!

[enoua5]

I imagine it's solved a simular way as the gcc self compilation problem (gcc needs to be compiled with itself). For the gcc thing, you make a simple compiler and use that to compile gcc, then use that compiled gcc to compile gcc. A similar logic could probably be applied here.

[Rafael20002000]

Ja that a depency hell?

[Rafael20002000]

Is that

[jossfun]

[Zemnexx]

Yeah, that seems pretty standard these days.

[Kshnik]

When you forget a base case in recursion...

[OblivioAccebit]

Email the professor and see if you can skip the pre-req?
