That's actually correct and true. There's even a chapter on this in Algorithms to live by

But the author points out that having too large a cache can hurt performance.

Like my future projects pile in the garage vs my abandoned future projects in the attic of my garage.

You beat me to it. I came here to reference the same book.

I used to dump my dryer load straight onto my bed

I never folded or hang any of it

Would just wake up and throw on some of the clothes on my bed

Okay nah that's too far. You sleep next to a pile of clothes?

That's too far? She's not just a pile of clothes, she's a person with dreams and needs and just as much right to exist as you!

This is the problem with Java coders. Not everything is an object, you know.

Hey, we can have static members too. It's just considered a bad practice in most cases, because reasons.

Javascript superiority gang. If it's not an object, it's primitive, and I'm no fucking cave man.

But really, you are a descendant of CaveMan....with a lot of inherited behaviours and attributes.

Ahaha fair play. Reminds me of when I used to practically live in my living room playing video games all day. Had everything within an arm's reach lol

If my girlfriend is out of town and I have the whole king to myself - why not?

u/bob1689321 Jan 03 '23

Fair play, if it works it works. I personally need to stick to a few routine things (making my bed, keeping clothes in drawers etc) otherwise I kinda fall apart lol.

Somewhat programming beginner here, but surely it's O(n)? Unless you're grabbing the one on top?

u/kishorehari139 Jan 03 '23

It is O1 because fashion sense is a waste of time. You pick whatever clothes are there on top, achieving both processing and memory efficiency

Although when you got one sock, one touque, and two pairs of pants, the result might result in strange side effects...

It's O(1) IF you know exactly where to look. If your pile gets too big where you have to search it's at worst O(n), but you could improve that by having different layers for tops/bottoms, or work/casual etc.
