minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-23 days agoThat’s cheating. It won’t actually make the code smaller.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•3 days agoCommon sense. Just making the same code into a single line won’t change much.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•3 days agothat doesn’t sound right, it’s so much smaller if it’s just one line
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•3 days agoThe line will be like several quadrillion characters long though.

Time to refactor the whole kernel into a one-liner!
