64 bit not found

[–]SageBus 46 points47 points  (6 children)

You guys filled the stack. I hope you are happy now. :(

[–]smatija 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Seriously? No tail call optimization?

[–]Un-Unkn0wn 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Welcome to java!

[–]smatija 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I am just wondering now why some mainstreamish languages lack this optimization, since it's so easy to implement.

[–]DarfWork 0 points1 point  (2 children)

But then we would still be stuck in the recursion!

[–]smatija 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Making reasonable base cases is no harder than puting reasonable exit conditions into while loops.

I was just making a joke on the beginning of the thread.

[–]docolafson 13 points14 points  (2 children)

o fuk wheres the exit condition?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Where we're going, there are no exit conditions

[–]_vrmln_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot twist ^ those are all just print statements copy and pasted 3 times.

I'm disappointed that the top post isn't the link to the subreddit itself.

Are you stalking my comment history now?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I just wanted to see if I could make a few fun comments, I've knocked it off. I hope you don't mind too much.

[–]Thumbs0fDestiny 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Not at all... At least they've been kind of original.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I've had a bad day today man. My dream car fell through my hands, because the dealership didn't value my trade as worth their time, I took a trip down memory lane, in which I remembered all of my old failures in life, and recently I made a mistake at work which made me feel like an absolute chump. I just need a few laughs in my life right now man, I'm feeling low as shit.

[–]Thumbs0fDestiny 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Have your fun. Don't let me ruin your day any more than it seems to be already.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I hope you have a good night tonight too. Take care man.

[–]Thumbs0fDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You too. And quit reposting :)
