Here’s what a ‘copy-n-paste’ in a moment of hurry can cause. This typo
wen’t unnoticed for almost a whole day, and then I stared at the
result for about a minute, wondering if I had been slashdotted. This
code was in a the statistics counter of a experimental cache manager I
wrote this morning (more about the cache manager when I recover):
>>> h = [0] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [1] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [3] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [7] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [15] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [31] >>> h[0] += h[0] + 1; h [63]
