minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink96•14 days agoGuaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink48•14 days agoYou still have to check that it’s sorted, which is O(n). We’ll also assume that destroying the universe takes constant time.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink43•14 days agoIn the universe where the list is sorted, it doesn’t actually matter how long the destruction takes!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish13•14 days agoIt actually takes a few trillion years but its fine because we just stop considering the “failed” universes because they will be gone soon™ anyway.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•14 days ago We’ll also assume that destroying the universe takes constant time. Well yeah just delete the pointer to it!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•14 days agoExcept you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•14 days agoThere’s a bug in it now, that’s why we’re still here.

Eh, trillion is a constant
amortized O(0)
Well yeah just delete the pointer to it!
