giraffe recursion

A method of recursion that assumes, given the great distance that it can see, that infinite recursion is impossible so there's no need to check for the termination case.

The production issues were directly related to an implementation of giraffe recursion.

Recursively Reinforced Racism

Often referred to as 'Triple R', this is a feedback loop where people — intentionally or not — repeat and strengthen racist or stereotypical behavior and beliefs. Think of it like racism on autopilot: it keeps recycling through media, culture, schools, and families, getting stronger each time it's unchecked.
It shows up a lot in younger generations (thanks, internet), but older folks aren’t off the hook — especially those who grew up recursively reinforced racism or contributed to it. Either way, it’s a negative loop that feeds itself like a bad algorithm trained on garbage data

Being Black in an all-white high school, I dealt with my fair share of racism. Looking back, I realize a lot of those kids were surrounded by recursively reinforced racism — mostly passed down from their parents.

Recursion

A system that refers to itself in its own definition
