Comment on Radiation-hardened Quine (2014)

Comments

Radiation would flip a bit though, which more likely changes a character

There would also be a difference between deletion and replacing with a space character. Ie shorten the program file by one char (however many bytes depending on encoding). Can anyone explain what deletion means in this useage?

Deletion means deletion, not replacing with a space.

This is what “radiation-hardening” means in the context of programming challenges, it doesn't refer to actual radiation.
