Your latest comic sucks. Please stop making tear-jerking pseudo-romance strips and make actually funny comics, like two years ago.

Sounds just like tripfags with inflated sense of self-worth

Well, that's how things were. If you stayed anonymous in those days you were considered a coward and would be subsequently ridiculed for it. Funny how it's quite the opposite here.

The difference is that most people actually used their IRL names, which is a good thing.

What is an O(n log2n) barrier for a search function? It only makes sense for sort functions that only compare and assign internally (there is a short proof of that involving construction of a search tree of size n!).
Randall didn't do his algorithms homework. How shameful.
Read SICP, Randall.

Indeed. A binary search has worst time complexity of log(n), with Grover's quantum algorithm taking sqrt(n) for an unsorted array of n items. This randall person reminds me of a first year computer science undergrad, at best.
goddamnit, /prog/.
i was bored so i decided to visit a board i don't usually frequent, i visited /tg/. this was the top thread on the first page:
>what are your favorite web comics fa/tg/uys and what makes em good. pic related my number 1: xkcd

That log(n) is for a sorted array. You could say that binary search requires O(sort) + O(search) ~= O(nlog(n))
Grover's algorithm operates in O(sqrt(n)) on an unsorted array.

Stephen Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.
>>61 ``Principia Discordia'': POEE subscribes to the Law of Fives of Omar’s sect. And POEE also
recognizes the Holy 23 (2+3=5) that is incorporated by Episkopos Dr.
Mordecai Malignatius, KNS, into his Discordian sect, The Ancient
Illuminated Seers of Bavaria.
It is also used a lot in ``Illuminatus!'', but Xarn doesn't like it so it is probably unscientific.

Too bad that The Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy was better, with less of that political/economy/philosophy shit, and more physics.

The substructure of the universe regresses infinitely towards smaller and smaller components. Behind atoms we find electrons, and behind electrons, quarks. Each layer unraveled reveals new secrets, but also new mysteries.

Why would I want to do that? /prog/ seems to be pretty /b/speak-free.
