Re: Is linux your daily driver? Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Reverend Jim … tried to explain to the class what "formatting a disk" meant.

Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf About DiDi DiDi (Differential Directory) was originally developed as part of my thesis project in the early 1990s. The name bears no relation to the more recent Chinese ride-sharing company. At the time, DiDi was a novel approach within its academic context, but a change in legislation unfortunately led to the closure of the school and the … Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf For example, as Donald Knuth points out in The Art of Computer Programming, the theoretical lower bound for comparison-based sorting algorithms is K × log₂(N). I developed a very simple method that matches this performance. However, DiDi goes far beyond: its performance is proportional to K × (maximum key length), regardless of the number of … Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf As an illustration, consider the theoretical lower bound for comparison-based sorting, as stated by Donald Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming: K × log₂(N). I developed a simple method that matches this limit. For example, to sort the list {2, 5, 7, 1, 4, 3, 8, 6}: Sort pairs: (2, 5) → [1] (1, 7) → [2] (3, 4) → [3] (6, 8) → [4] Merge… Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf "Just to clarify a previous mistake: the efficiency should be K × N × log₂(N), not K × log₂(N) as I initially wrote." Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf I've just made an update because some records weren't being added properly. The issue was that the form didn't take into account that the register field (in the call to DiDi) is passed by reference. Re: Differential Directory, indexing method Programming Software Development by xrjf Just a quick update for anyone interested: I have revisited and significantly improved the code, aiming for a more professional structure and better performance. The updated version avoids freezing the UI during long operations and follows more robust programming practices.
