Replying here because I can't edit my orignal comment. But I stand by what I said -- in the pathalogical case all of your keys map to the same bucket, and you hit O(N^2) or O(N log N) behaviour (depending on what exactly happens within

My understanding is that from a purely theoretical point of view you can call the operations Θ(1), but not O(1) -- since the worst case must account for the pathological case.

hash map worst case insertion/search is O(N) so this is potentially worst case O(N^2). IIRC a typical implementation would be more likely to be O(N log N) for some high log factor in the limit, but still worse than O(ND). And this is b

This is, as Matt Levine points out, a consequence of everything being securities fraud. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-26/everyt...

That would work, but at that point is it really less effort and expense that using a managed solution (AWS etc).

Another alternative, visually select the region you're interested in then: :'<,'>normal @q to apply the macro (in q) to that region. You might want to remap the above command to some shortcut if you find it useful often

Yeah, the cost-value benefit of learning touch typing will vastly eclipse the cost-value benefit of learning intermediate vim, that's for sure.

I still recognize that name/handle and I haven't logged into ##math for ~10 years, so I can certainly corroborate what you're saying.

Perhaps for the purposes of energy. There are mydriad petrochem products that have no viable alternative.

It's coincidentally pleasing that the cutoff `d >= 1729` is the Hardy-Ramanujan number.

At least for universities this isn't correct. Oxford and Cambridge are just as high calibre as the top US institutions.

Your statment is built upon the pernicious idea that all good developers should write code in their spare time.

The etymology comes from the field of mathermatical optimization, not from programming as commonly understood today.

Is that 10^-6 figure is for any sort of accident, or just catastrophic ones?

For comparison the c++ looks like this: #include <stack> stack<T> st; st.push(value); auto value = st.pop(); I'm struggling to see what's a million times more appealing about the go.

1-indexed ranges can still be composable if we define them as open on the right at N+1 (which is how I imagine one would want to define things in their implementation). [1...N] = [1...N+1) = [1...K+1) + [K+1..N+1) So the real loss is your p

In this case the terminology is by way of, roughly speaking type theory <- domain theory <- category theory Perhaps one can draw a link from the latter to the operators in electromagnetism.

There's seemingly a lot of negative responses to articles concerning constexpr in modern C++ (you can see some here in this thread). I suspect this is partially because there's a general outsized dislike of C++, and partially beca

> The more strongly typed a language is the more it forces you to think about the big picture This is a good point. A straightforward corollary is that the size of the picture can be drastically different for beginners and experts. One w

Those examples aren't really the same though. Transform is a free function which operates on anything that satisfies 'ForwardIterator', map would be a member function of the vector class. Theoretically you could add helper fu

It's worth noting that you can absolutely apply every level of "sureness" within the same company - and such gradation can be very effective if applied smartly.

Thank you for encouraging me to think, since I was wilfully choosing not to before. > I only have to trust drivers not to do egregious things like head on collision at high speeds. You have wildly underestimated how small of a mistake ca
