such is life in the UK

give it another 7 to 8 years

it also bothers me when people say “my algorithm” to refer to the thing that recommends posts to them. people shouldn’t ever say “my algorithm” unless they personally own a copy of the kick-ass prog-metal band

they should do that in real life too

i haven’t used steam a while (so i could be wrong), but it seems like that’s not a pop up. it looks like it’s part of the information that shows up when you click a game in your library. so i guess it would make sense the name of the game isn’t display there (since it’s somewhere else on the page)

i don’t really know, but an educated guess is that it has to do with how old the console is, and how micro optimized/hacky things had to be at the time. for example, morrowind would reboot your xbox during loading screens. there was probably quite a lot more control given to developers in the olden days, whereas now things are more sandboxed. but i would be happy to be corrected on anything i’ve said here.

this looks like a cool project.

is it an unfortunate coincidence that “chata” means annoying/boring in portuguese, or was this intentional?

this was very comforting to read

O(n²) means that as the input n grows, it takes exponential time to process.

this is really pedantic, but O(n²) is quadratic, not exponential. the exponential runtimes are things like O(2ⁿ). when n gets even modestly big (say n=100), youre looking at a difference of 2¹⁰⁰ ≈ 1.26×10³⁰ vs 100² = 10,000. this is just to say that exponential runtime is really in a class of its own.

but otherwise i think this was a pretty good explanation of the concept
