Really, the comment was referring to "accidentally quadratic" bugs, as documented here, for example: https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/

Maybe the next generation beyond 3D printing will be able to do multi-component assembly tasks, and you can get/print your own high quality components, and assemble your own high quality toaster... Maybe

If comparisons are a fixed, non-zero cost, and assignments are a fixed, non-zero cost, then the comparisons in your selection sort will always overwhelm the assignments, and I can tell you at exactly which input size.

And if you ignore the bottom half of the centaur, it's just a dude playing a flute. :)

"In computer science, the time complexity is the computational complexity that describes the amount of time it takes to run an algorithm." [1] We shouldn't be confusing people that actually want to learn about this stuff.

> POSTGRES has undergone several major releases since then. The first "demoware" system became operational in 1987 and was shown at the 1988 ACM-SIGMOD Conference. Version 1, described in The implementation of POSTGRES , was released to a few external users in June 1989. In response to a critique of the first rule system ( A commentary on the POSTGRES rules system ), the rule system was redesigned ( On Rules, Procedures, Caching and Views in Database Systems ), and Version 2 was released in June 1990 with the new rule system. Version 3 appeared in 1991 and added support for multiple storage managers, an improved query executor, and a rewritten rule system. For the most part, subsequent releases until Postgres95 (see below) focused on portability and reliability.

Your point stands, nonetheless. There are no whippersnappers present.

I had done lots of BBSing before that, and I treated the Internet the same way - a bunch of different tools to get the same sort of social experience.

Email w/ pine. BBS message boards became Usenet w/ trn. Gopher. Finding random people with finger, and chatting with ytalk. Once talked with a random girl named Thuy in Perth, which blew my mind at the time. Some shlub in the US sending messages live to Australia. Downloading all sorts of freeware from wuarchive.wustl.edu.

It felt smaller then, and something inviting (to me at least). You'd recognize email addresses from one corner popping into a new one, and it gave the whole Internet a sense of continuity. It was a place I wanted to interact with.

Usenet, in particular, was usually a pretty good source of information. As a matter of course, people attached their email address to each posting. And they usually only had one - HoTMaiL and its ilk wouldn't come around until '96 or so. If you saw an email address you recognized, you'd have an idea of trustability.

Today, I really don't contribute much. I don't surf r/new or whatever, so somebody else has usually said anything I want to say. C'est la vie.

Personally, I've been transitioning my stuff to OpenJDK (probably should have a long time ago).
