] from the past month (December 2024).
Can you please give a rationale for removing the Common Lisp snippet from ], but leaving the Python code intact? ] (]) 21:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
:The Python code has a little elegance to it, while the Lisp code is brute force. Furthermore, the Python code generates sorted sequences, while the Lisp code generates all sequences. Admittedly, the number of ''all'' sequences (including allowing positive and negative integers) can be evaluated in terms of divisor functions, while the number of sorting sequences cannot. Still, only one language should be necessary unless there are different algorithms. Personally, I would prefer C or C++, but I'm not going to replace the Python code. — ] ] 21:54, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
::{{ping|Melikamp}} Also, the Python code is <math>O(n)</math> (counting appending an item to a list, and searching a list for an item, as single operations), while the LISP code is <math>O(n^2)</math> (counting appending an item to a list as one operation, which it could be). — ] ] 21:59, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
:I don't understand what you mean by "elegance", unless it's your subjective opinion. The Lisp code you removed generates sorted sequences, not all. They ARE different algorithms, so both are OK by your own criteria, even though I disagree about either of these snippets being necessary. What does efficiency has to do with this, anyway? The python algorithm may be faster, but the LISP one consumes less memory. In sum, your explanation so far contradicted the facts, contradicted itself, and relied exclusively on appeals to your personal preferences.
:Also, did you know that we were discussing the merits of including either code when you removed stuff? Did you realize that the Python code is both broken and may need citation, wheres LISP code has neither problem? Please, let's deal with this at the corresponding Talk page. ] (]) 00:02, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
::The LISP code doesn't need citation because it's trivial. I was not aware of the discussion when I removed the LISP code, but it still doesn't belong in the article. I have doubts about the Python code, but I have no doubt that the LISP code doesn't belong. — ] ] 00:08, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

I understand that ASSET is not relevant in all articles relating to tax reform and I will stop adding links to all tax reform articles. I apologize for doing so. However, I feel like it at least deserves a mention along with the likes of Americans for Tax Reform, Americans For Fair Taxation and KillYourTaxes.com in the article on ]. ASSET is a growing coalition of nearly 13,000 individuals, small businesses and ranches; the ASSET solution for estate tax reform is gaining steam in Maryland politics; and currently the article on ASSET I submitted to Misplaced Pages is under review and likely to be accepted in 2 weeks.
