minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up97·1 year agoGuaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.
minus-squarefrezik@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up48·1 year 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-squaregroet@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 year 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-squarevithigar@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up16·1 year agoExcept you missed a bug in the “check if it’s sorted” code and it ends up destroying every universe.

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