- a1369209993 5y agoIf you have a 6-unit block, then by definition you can fit 6 1-unit items - by putting them in that block. On the other hand, if you don't have a contiguous 6-unit block, you might still be able fit 6 1-unit items in (for example) 2 3-unit blocks. Compare memory allocation for 6 1KB blocks versus 1 6KB block, and how it's affected by memory fragmentation.
- sombremesa 5y agoThis is predicated on the idea that meetings are immutable once created, which is part of my original complaint. Edit: I see what you're saying, that makes perfect sense.
- a1369209993 5y agoI was only supporting the: > Finding time for six one-[unit] [block]s is by definition easier than finding time for one six-[unit] [block] of meetings. that you responded to. As long as there's anything at all with fixed position, you can end up with fragmentation, and even when (you can guarantee) there isn't, the former is just "exactly as easy" as the latter, so the general case degrades to "is by definition at least as easy as".
