Restriction \Re*stric"tion\, n. [F. restriction, L. restrictio.]
1. The act of restricting, or state of being restricted;
confinement within limits or bounds.
[1913 Webster]
This is to have the same restriction with all other
recreations,that it be made a divertisement. --Giv.
of Tonque.

3. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
restriction
n.
A bug or design error that limits a program's capabilities, and which is
sufficiently egregious that nobody can quite work up enough nerve to
describe it as a feature. Often used (esp. by marketroid types) to make
it sound as though some crippling bogosity had been intended by the
designers all along, or was forced upon them by arcane technical
constraints of a nature no mere user could possibly comprehend (these
claims are almost invariably false).
Old-time hacker Joseph M. Newcomer advises that whenever choosing a
quantifiable but arbitrary restriction, you should make it either a power
of 2 or a power of 2 minus 1. If you impose a limit of 107 items in a list,
everyone will know it is a random number ? on the other hand, a limit of 15
or 16 suggests some deep reason (involving 0- or 1-based indexing in
binary) and you will get less flamage for it. Limits which are round
numbers in base 10 are always especially suspect.

impose a limit of 17 items in a list, everyone will know it is
a random number - on the other hand, a limit of 15 or 16
suggests some deep reason (involving 0- or 1-based indexing in
