See, I'd be with you with this interpretation, were it not for the fact that a solid >70% of consent screens I've seen blatantly violate the GDPR in a number of ways, so if this process is what happened, legal done fucked up.

> One way in which the complexity of this is bad is that if you want prime numbers < N you only need to filter out primes smaller than sqrt(N). It is telling that the first solution contains an sqrt but not the second one.... That&#x2

I'd say O(n) for both. The generated list only contains primes, so that's straightforward linear. Then there is the recursive sieving, which adds an additional pass over the sieve list for every prime we've found so far, we n

Technically not a mountain, since mountains start at >500m and Vaalserberg is only 322m high... On the other hand, we do (technically) have mountains, as Saba has Mount Scenery (887m) and Sint Eustatius has The Quill ( 601m)...

I think the Haskell people saying the tools are good (like me!) are just using a very different criteria of "good" than you (and most data scientists!). For me a "good tool" is robust, reliable, and easy to fix. For most

Good news for you, he's wrong. It's pronounced the way "coq" is in French, which isn't quite "cock", but certainly closer to "cock" than "coke".
