O(n^2) algorithm takes n^2 steps whatever the length of step is. In this case in timeless space they simply have no length (and are instantienious?) but they still exists./r/GeekHeroComic/comments/6g/encounter_with_a_depressed_computer_scientist/hy/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/6g/encounter_with_a_depressed_computer_scientist/hy2009-09-07T14:03:33.502985+00:00-0700But he can still consider goto harmful.../r/GeekHeroComic/comments/6d/microsofts_secret_research_facility/do/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/6d/microsofts_secret_research_facility/do2009-09-02T15:48:24.049063+00:00-0700Shouldn't it be Hurd? Well - managing a project the is 25-years old with no production release **is** hell./r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/ce/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/ce2009-08-28T21:06:10.878700+00:00-0700I had to use RandomAccessFile class to get points ;) As the only library I know about that contains is Java... PS. I do not blame the teacher - it was IB PPS. I tried not to implement this class in other language - not with my future depending largly on it./r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/b2/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/b22009-08-24T14:11:45.587862+00:00-0700Hmm. Someone who said it have never programmed in VB or Java I'd guess. Java have many cons - in High School (project could be in any language as long as it was Java) I spent some time how to catch locally an exception thrown from constructor of an object which was supposed to be reached from closur... anonymous class. Solution was something like: ObjectType _t; try { _t = new ObjectType(...); } catch(...) { // ... } final ObjectType t = _t; But it's not entirly bad language or platform especially considering the age. Well - JavaScript is of course a different story./r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/b0/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/68/cons_of_omniscience/b02009-08-24T13:41:22.267134+00:00-0700Java? Well - Java is not so bad (to begin with it's open). I'd rather expect Cobol or Visual Basic./r/GeekHeroComic/comments/5x/optimize_any_code_10x_faster/7v/r/GeekHeroComic/comments/5x/optimize_any_code_10x_faster/7v2009-08-05T18:24:17.783217+00:00-0700Sometimes this optimalization does not work: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void noop() {} int main() { int stop = 0; while(stop == 0) { noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); noop(); stop = 1; noop(); noop(); } }
