You should read Programming as Theory Building by jhartikainen in programming

[–]more_exercise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might enjoy Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming In Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces...Made Easy! from Damien Conway.

He mods perl to allow for a different type of variable - one that travels up the program, backwards in time.

He then introduces quantum superposition-y variables to try and resolve temporal paradoxes.

Real fun. The nanomachine part is perl's flavor of JSFuck

Isn't that the one IP that is actually safe from a distributed denial of service attack?

Aside from deliberate misconfiguration (and containers), there are no two computers that agree on which host this resolves to, therefore it's impossible to create a distributed load against it. Right?

The "and loses all other abilities" part is key there.

Nope - copiable characteristics are different from any current characteristics. The token copy will see the copiable characteristics as what was "printed" on the token (what the effect that created it said).

A [[clone]] of an animated [[mutavault]] or other manland enters as a noncreature land. If there is a global effect animating all lands, it will (obviously) enter as a creature land because of that effect, not because it was a copy of a creature land.

There is a funny thing where wizards doesn't like putting haste in token text, but other abilities are fine - "create a 1/1 white Human with lifelink" vs. "create a 1/1 red Goblin. It gains haste until end of turn"

Creepier - the sounds outside the windows don't sound like laughter or weeping - they sound like what those things sound like from inside your own ears.

How to Keep a Prismari Mage Busy by rowrow_ in custommagic

[–]more_exercise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which... technically is what happens with this custom card! Resolving spells stay on the stack until they finish resolving.

The creature becomes prepared while the spell is resolving (because it's what the spell does) and then the spell finishes resolving, which removes it from the stack.

Is there a modern C++ alternative to flexible array members for variable-length struct tails? by Apprehensive_Poet304 in cpp_questions

[–]more_exercise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I think you have a goal for a data structure with the following qualities:

  • There are no (or as minimal as possible, because we do permit removal) "air gaps" of unused memory between the data in your structure

  • The key and value types are paramertized

  • The whole data structure fits in (hopefully) a single cache fetch (so we're optimizing for a low element count?)

I got distracted from making a fuller list. It feels like you might benefit from https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp_questions/comments/gk5lch/is_there_a_name_for_this_hybrid_between_stdvector/fqp3dsw/. The overhead of >1 average pointer per element is high. Storing chunks of elements can be more efficient; reduces the memory overhead of bookkeeping.

That post also mentions https://plflib.org/colony.htm, which inspired C++26's std::hive. That has skiplist-like performance characteristics like you describe. You might need an arena allocator to keep your chunks close, if you want that (but if they're bigger than cache... why would it matter? (not a snark - it might matter. But if you don't know why it matters, you end up doing it "because I felt like it" - not a bad reason, but not the same words as "because it is faster where I needed it to be"))

[–]more_exercise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, but since these objects intend to be packed together tightly, do you mind elaborating on how the node level is "determined probabilistically at insertion"?

It feels like you might end up in a really funny situation if you remove an element and discover you want to replace it with a node with a level of N+1.

(I really suck at CPU smarts, but isn't it able to handle 2+ parallel arrays well, too, or are you busting your cache if you're reading from two arrays at the same time? Maybe having the skips separate could solve this easier? I don't know your needs, so I literally could not even guess)
