I mean, it is entirely reasonable that “bad” is the best performance you can hope for while sorting an entire set of generally comparable items.
If you can abuse special knowledge about the data being sorted then you can get better performance with things like radix sort, but in general it just takes a lot of work to compare them all even if you are clever to avoid wasted effort.
It makes sense that you find the system you grew up with to be more intuitive, but I grew up with fahrenheit, and I think you’ve misunderstood the assertion a little bit.
The older observation that this meme is riffing off of is that 100°C is the point at which water stops being sloshy and starts being steamy, whereas 100°F is the (much fuzzier) point at which humans stop moving around and start decomposing.
The Kelvin addition muddies things because 100K isn’t really significant.
I’m scratching my head trying to figure out why the built-in firewall is undesirable. It isn’t that I can’t speculate on some possible reasons, I just didn’t realize there were so many 3rd party alternatives.
Individuals from foreign nations would have their origin considered when they are processed for whatever level of secret clearance they needed to work on the government contact.
That actually sounds very similar to the health mechanics in Rimworld.
A “group sound bath” is similar to a small musical performance, except everyone is lying down relaxing, and the instrument is a bunch of stone bowls that make deep droning sounds when you run the stick thing that they come with along the rim of the bowl. The sound production is very similar to the way a crystal glass sings when you rub your finger on the rim of the glass, except far deeper in tone because of the large size of the bowls.
Witchy-types believe there is some sort of healing/metaphysical effect to being exposed to those sounds from those bowls, but without speculating on effects that cannot be measured I can only attest that the single sound bath I’ve attended was incredibly relaxing.
I’m totally trying this the next time I wait too long between mowings!
I’m jumping industries here, but Nintendo could not get that out of their system for a while. A game titled “New Super Mario Bros.” came out in it’s first first iteration in 2006. It did quite well, so they kept making sequels, the most recent titled “New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe”. They also put out a couple game consoles with “New” at the beginning, if memory serves.
That is a whole lot of talk about how much Xbox cares about its people and a whole lot of handwaving about why Xbox needed to decide to sacrifice its people in great swaths.
