minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up58·1 month agoGuaranteed to sort the list in nearly instantaneous time and with absolutely no downsides that are capable of objecting.

minus-squaregroet@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 month agoIt actually takes a few trillion years but its fine because we just stop considering the “failed” universes because they will be gone soon™ anyway.

Eh, trillion is a constant
amortized O(0)
