I think it should depend on how much time the answerer took, but I’d say at least a thumbs up, just to show that you read and accepted the answer. If it involves writing code I’d say a written thank you is more adequate. If it takes the answerer a whole week of code, a mere thank you seems subpar (and less likely to elicit another answer of the sort).

@anything Just to observe that you merely replied with a thumbs up ;) (which seems fine to me)

LOL — I did, but because, you know, eventually you can’t thank people for thanking you. :slightly_smiling_face: (That’s infinite recursion!)

I like infinite recursion!

LOL! Beautiful art! That reminds me of a drawing I did once for perhaps putting on a university professor’s office door. It had a title called “Recursion Club” and the drawing was a flowchart saying — do you like recursion? Then two arrows point you to the next step in the flowchart, one for yes and for one no. The one for yes takes you to “Yes, you may come in” and the one for “no” just you back to the question. You can only come in if you like recursion. :slightly_smiling_face: That’s not infinite recursion, of course, because you should let at least one way for the person to come in. :-)

Haha nice. You should have asked instead “Do you understand recursion?” so that if you answer no repeatedly, at some point you should get it :wink:

That’s a great improvement! Thanks! I’ll draw that again some time!

Use racket-paint! https://github.com/Metaxal/racket-paint (or, you know, something that can be used for actual drawings, like racket/draw and metapict :wink: )

Oh, wow, nice! :slightly_smiling_face: Will do!

For a university paper I tutored, there was a question that involved recursion posted on the class forum (I forget the details). The other tutor wrote a response, and included a link introduced with something like “if you don’t remember recursion, see here for a refresher”, where the link was in the word “here”. The link was, of course, back to the page of the forum question (i.e. the page we were currently on).

That’s infinite recursion for those that will never get it! :slightly_smiling_face:
