if I'm not mistaken , a example of a problem where O(n!²) is the optimal complexity is :
There are n traveling salespeople and n towns . find the path for each salesperson with each salesperson starting out in a unique town , such that the sum d₁ + 2 d₂ + ... + n dₙ is minimised, where n is a positive natural number , dᵢ is the distance traveled by salesperson i and i is any natural number in the range 1 to n inclusive .
pre post edit, I realized you can implement a solution in 2(n!) :(
I misread this as if it lacked the y and was slightly confused for a second
to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .
both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .
And set the date format to YYYY.MM.DD for the entire world. Americans and Europeans can stop arguing.
this made me uncontrollably angry , its YYYY-MM-DD not YYYY.MM.DD
honestly I use .hh/.cc which is quite nice IMO . you can also use .hpp/.cpp but I don't like it personally
reminder that .H can be used as a c++ header extension , along with .C for source files
honesty I never understood why people consider malbolge so bad . sure its difficult AF to do anything in and the complexity gets quite higher still , but IMHO its just to abstract to be painful , it feels to different to feel like something you should be able to understand .
honesty struggling to write simple operations in some of my own esolangs was way more mind-bendingly horrid than I think malbolge could be without making a compiler to it , while still feeling like I was programming .
to be fair I also made ArrayFuck so yeah
to be fair I can't imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy ... checks ah never mind mind
One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :
I believe it was a app , yes

honestly I don't even know how to interpret ~11.5 μg b/s (micro gram bits per second).
Seriously I get not liking capital letters , but like ESPECIALLY in this case (as ~11.5 b/s and ~11.5 B/s are about as reasonable) , capitalize your units ! also differentiate between GiB (gigi bits) and GB (giga bits).
to be fair , because g and b are not separated by a space , "×" or "•" , g should be interpreted as a prefix , according to SI rules , but its not something most people know about and g is not a valid SI prefix .
I mean I get why its a thing but like ew , very uncomfy , ugh
this would assume that finding the next prime is a linear operation , which is false
