It looks like you broke the interwebs my mate
Did I actually do something bad? Like are y'all upset at me?
You're a grey hat. Technical problems like these are likely to never get fixed until their consequences are demonstrated.
I feel like I'm def more of an IdeasGuy, like I don't implement stuff but I guess I'm good at finding edge cases/outliers.
Yes but like quantified...
looks like 128 deep from here, and that number feels very familiar some how. I just cant place where Ive seen it before...
Hmm... I got 99. The red line is there 14 times with full color change + 1 extra line. Each time it's 7 colors, so 99. I double-checked.
If in doubt look at the code:
const MAX_COMMENT_DEPTH_LIMIT: usize = 100;
I Guess that is the answer
Now, what would happen with other instances if you compiled it with higher number for your own 🤔
I think you are correct, I based it on:
Maybe there are branches in the tree of comments?
128 = 2^7; powers of 2 show up a lot in computing. Looks like it's 100 though per the below comment.
