as I said above I'm strongly opposed to deleting question with highly upvoted answers because "but in general, no matter how much you despise a question, it doesn't seem fair to people who put effort into the answers to rob them of the 300-700 rep they gained out of them."
Oh, I didn't know that. In that case... I'm less strongly opposed... still a highly-voted answer might be a high quality answer (on a low-quality question) which might be worth keeping around.

I said "I have to go for a bit, then I'll fix stuff", did the thing I had to do, and immediately fell asleep. Go me \o/
@mniip Would it be possible to make a version that doesn't have Indifferent votes on the second row? They don't seem particularly useful from a "how do people feel about this question" perspective, since those people don't feel about it at all.
To commemorate the public launch of Stack Overflow, what's the shortest code to cause a stack overflow? Any language welcome.
ETA: Just to be clear on this question, seeing as I'm an occasional Scheme user: tail-call "recursion" is really iteration, and any solution which can be converted to an ...
The auto-community-wiki-after-30-answers "feature" was instituted largely because of this particular question, and ironically, it continued to bite us in CGSE long afterwards (until recently, when they removed that "feature").
After that question ceased to be a rep cow (after being auto-CW'd), my main rep cow is this answer:
First, the class << foo syntax opens up foo's singleton class (eigenclass). This allows you to specialise the behaviour of methods called on that specific object.
a = 'foo'
class << a
def inspect
'"bar"'
end
end
a.inspect # => "bar"
a = 'foo' # new object, new singleton class
a.insp...
@ChrisJester-Young well lucky you :P ... I don't mean it took long on SO (I needed 3 months for 15k then took a break and got the other 5k within a month or so as well). but my rep/answers ratio is about twice as large on ppcg as it is on SO. also your first rep cow proves my point :P

Does anyone have any code-golf tips for golfing in Processing? It is a graphical extension of java, and is somewhat difficult to golf.
