The Tak function, was invented by Ikuo Takeuchi of the Electrical Communication Laboratory of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph, for the purpose of comparing the speeds of LISP systems.

The amount of recursion performed by this algorithm is significant, in fact it was described in one books as “a recursive algorithm with cubic explosion”.

@neauoire I promise I'll read this but fuck I had to first give a Golden Turd Of UX award for Excellence In Dark Patterns for this to Wordpress:
"One last thing, our partners may process some of your data based on legitimate interests instead of consent but you can object to that by choosing "Learn More" and then disabling the Legitimate Interests toggle under any listed Purpose or Partner."

Both a violation of GDPR as far as I know and also just a shady fucking move.
