I understand loops, and every beginner recursion example seems to replace an easy loop with a function that calls itself. Factorials don't convince me. I can follow the base case mechanically, but I don't see why I'd cho...
One dining chair rocks even on a level floor. Looking underneath, a corner joint has opened slightly; the wood itself isn't split. I can wiggle the side rail by hand. I'm reluctant to drive screws through the frame just...
