Re:What Is Idempotence? by setr on Thursday April 04, 2019 @09:12PM (#19578727)
What behavior can’t be deduplicated, if deduplication is defined as: first call executes, subsequent calls noop?

I don’t see why idempotent functions couldn’t also be deduplicated

In which case, we’re really just back to “idempotent” and “not idempotent” (knowing that you can turn any operation idempotent, by using this one trick..!)
