What does this syntax mean? Surely you wouldn't use big-o notation with a constant in it, especially to convey the same meaning as the thing without the O?
- MikePlacid 4y agoMathematically speaking the statement you are objecting to is correct: c1 is O(c2) for any constants c1, c2. English-language-ly speaking the statement you are objecting to is also correct: both you and I managed to get it’s correct meaning. No?
- remram 4y agoNo, I am not sure about the meaning at all. Did they deploy databases that will tend to be a TB in size as something tends to infinity? Or multiple TBs? I don't know if they know about the constant factor since they don't know what the notation mean. Maybe they know what it means and are using it for a clever lie, a 1kB database is O(1TB). So is an empty database. GGP is trying to be cool, and doing so stripped all meaning from their statement.
