Top posting now ... First thought was "thoughts", but the electron synapse reaction time is rather measurable I believe, and so in principle the manifestation of the thought as a set of images (or words or what have you), is most likely O(1). Perhaps O(0) is things that could have happened, but did not happen? Or rather than "have not happened yet", "could never happen" perhaps? It's missing from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_O_notation#Orders_of_common_functions and since it's not taken yet, let's call it the order of my thought (or is that disorder?) - on second thoughts, if ƒ(thought)≡O(0), perhaps that would mean I have no thoughts? But what of the thought that thought this thought? ... meltdown of the universe in 3 … 2 … aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhh On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 07:25:43PM +0000, \0xDynamite wrote:
Speaking of Big-O notation. Can anyone give me an example of something that is O(0)?

This is not absurd, this is how the real world works. Software comes with no warranty of any kind for a reason ;) The ironic part is how this feature survived so long - password bruteforcer would have caught the empty password in O(1).
That's why I called it absurd ;). How does something so simple to catch fall through the cracks of an ostensibly "large & professional" software shop?
Fucking embarrassing for Apple.
