gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-29 04:15:56

Back in 2003, when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl first hit theaters, it was a pleasant surprise. A movie based on a Disney ride—in a time when pirate movies weren’t exactly riding high—it was highly entertaining, made a zillion dollars, and earned Johnny Depp his first Oscar nomination. Four sequels of varying quality followed, but despite many rumblings since Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, Pirates has yet to relaunch. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is now saying there migh

Why tail-recursive functions are loops

One story every computing enthusiast should hear is the lesson of how loops and tail-recursion are equivalent. We like recursive functions because they’re amenable to induction, and we can derive them in a way that is in direct correspondence with the definition of the datatype over which they recur. We like loops because they’re fast and make intuitive sense as long as variables don’t change in too tricky a way. In general, recursive functions are slower than loops because they push stack fram
