Was your mother a late bilingual? From this paper [1], we know that for late bilinguals, regions for each language are spatially separated in Broca's area. Broca's area is responsible for speaking, while language understanding is attributed to Wernicke's area*. It's possible that the stroke affected only the part of the Broca's region responsible for English speaking. And since language understanding is handled by another region, it wasn't affected.
*For completeness, according to current neurolinguistic models it's more complex than that, more brain regions are actually responsible for speech/understanding.
Yeah, makes sense that it's popular. I just thought you were making a joke by creating a similar looking issue with a different underlying reason.
In Go example the issue happens because item variable is per-loop, in your python example the issue is not related to loops at all, it's just because functions capture the value of global variables at execution time.
And the cherry on top is that the solution is also similar looking(i=i), but working with a different mechanic underneath(default argument assignment).
Anyway, this was my perspective that led me to interpret this as satire. A bit disappointed haha
Ask the caller to move their hand in front of the camera so the hand fully obstructs the view, and then slowly slide the hand to the side until it completely moves out of the view. Crop-resistant!
