Calling them dad jokes is a bit redundant when mom doesn't have a sense of humor.

After reading this I wondered if we should hand them signs with political statements and call it a political movement. Then I realized that maybe someone already did - and called them politicians

All these attempted explanations of "mummification" and "ligaments drying" instead of just coming out and being straight with us about the upcoming zombie apocalypse.
And they call themselves scientists...

I'd vote for zombie reagan.
is that too political for the lounge?

Why not go back all the way and elect zombie Washington? Perhaps the Brits can even dig up king zombie George.

i'm here for it. 
they have to be undead though. less talking and agenda forwarding, more brain eating.

Hey! Let's stay politically correct! Undead? The brain eating stereotype? Would ' biochemically inactive persons' not be more adequate?

Double tap[^]
Seriously - double tap.
Don't know if it works on politicians, but it's definitely worth a try.

Maybe I need to reread that article, but these zombies appear to be moving way too fast!  Definitely faster than politicians...
But a great movie

And teh sequel comes out in 5 weeks: Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) - IMDb[^]
Yeah, yeah - it's a sequel. But it's not a physical law that the sequel is always cr@p - more a Hollywood guideline ...

There have been a few notable exceptions where is the sequel is better than the first. Aliens is one that comes to mind but that's all I can think of now. They are definitely the exception.

Uhh, depends on which of the 10+ prequels you're comparing it to. I recall having seen some B&W movie called Batman and Penguin or something like that, several decades ago, and it was already ancient back then. Hilarious, too!
That said, I have a bad case of main actor tiring regarding specifically Batman, Superman, Hulk, and Spiderman: I lost track of how many actors they went through and how many remakes they've made. It's hard to judge a sequel to it's prequel when you have a hard time identifiying which *is* the appropriate prequel in the first place.

Batman Begins is the saga where Christian Bale plays batman. This saga is the one I like most because it shows a little more "real" possibilities (of course they still are films).
The fist "Batman begins" is IMHO good, but the second one is damm good. Heath Ledger as the Joker rocks.

The AVL tree gave me a lot more trouble than it should have. That's what i get for porting some C++ code from a (probably) student's github - i can't even find his name or a license  , but i had to learn the algorithm somehow and where a book is nice, code speaks volumes.
The performance results surprised me at first, but as I ran more tests I began to understand what was going on - shocking! 
The splay tree is cool, but i need to eliminate some of the recursion in it so it can hold more than say 5-10 thousand items.
The b-tree performed far better than i expected at 1,000,000 entries +, even beating Dictionary (which doesn't have to sort - cheater!), but what really got me was it was beating SortedDictionary by about 100 entries or so. I figured I'd need thousands before it overtook it, so bonus.
My conclusion is as surprising to me - the BTree dictionary is a better all around dictionary for sorted search scenarios with 100 items or greater than any of the others.
I haven't actually seen the splay tree in best case scenario yet, but even from the middling to worst case tests i gave it, it really sped up like it should with locality of searches.
I'm a nerd so i think this stuff is neat! i love learning something while coding.

B-tree work by divide and conquer, just like quick sort and merge sort.
So I'm not surprised at all, except for the part of even beating dictionaries.
I have to take a look at how the buckets are created (the number of buckets and their distribution). I believe therein lies the answer.
|
|

|

well in my tests i used positive ints for the keys, which based on the reference implementation gives a perfect spread for its hashcodes - 1 item per bucket so no extra equality checks. I gave it best case. Because the sorting ones were only comparing on ints i figured the dictionary should get the same advantage.
technically all of these sorting algorithms (not including Dictionary because it doesn't sort) work on divide and conquer, because of the tree structures, but yeah - the way the b-tree squashes the trees into multi-level indexes really helps here.

Interestingly enough, I found myself watching an episode of 'Real Money' last night where they were revealing his diagnosis/prognosis. I feel for his wife and kids and can relate.
