<wob_jonas> learn Aristotle said that every illness can be cured by balancing the four vitreous humors, and everyone believed him for two thousand years, even though people still died of illnesses.

2012-12-13.txt:06:38:35: <Fiora> but isn't the idea of tail call elimination that you just optimize a recurisve function into a loop via code transformation? so like, the function doesn't exist anymore kinda 2013-10-07.txt:19:15:13: <fungot> boily: every procedure returns a recurisve procedure. http://www.kendyck.com/ 2005/ 02/15-feb-2005 the scsh manual is?! 2013-10-07.txt:19:17:56: <tswett> I'd love to see the origin of "every procedure returns a recurisve procedure". 2013-10-07.txt:19:18:28: <tswett> Search for "recurisve procedure", man. 2013-10-07.txt:19:18:30: <Bike> "every procedure returns" and "returns a recurisve procedure" massed up. 2013-10-07.txt:19:19:18: <tswett> Yeah, but what sorts of things return recurisve procedures? 2013-10-07.txt:19:19:45: <Bike> https://www.google.com/search?q=recurisve this misspelling is more common than i thought. 2013-10-07.txt:19:19:53: <tswett> I guess you could say that the Y combinator returns a recurisve procedure. But we wouldn't call it a procedure. 2013-10-07.txt:19:21:33: <tswett> Like, since it's a "procedure", that seems to imply that it's an actual piece of computer code. A recurisve one, to boot. But what sort of thing would specifically return a piece of recurisve code, rather than just any type of code? Not a compiler. Usually. 2013-10-07.txt:19:23:24: <Bike> recurisve* 2013-10-07.txt:22:14:32: <oerjan> `pastelogs recurisve
