mathcat

If you want your soul pure again

Ginger Industries

so that's 10 billion billion mph

mathcat

I'd feel hard feeling remorse

Redwolf Programs

@GingerIndustries You're saying an ant can travel a mile in an hour?

Ginger Industries

@mathcat well you'd be dead so it wouldn't matter

@RedwolfPrograms No, Google

oh wait

wrong ant

Redwolf Programs

7:01 PM

That'd be half a meter in a second

Those are some fast ants lol

Ginger Industries

turns out nobody really does research on that

the fastest ant can move at 1.9mph

Redwolf Programs

Nine body lengths per second is what I get

Ginger Industries

@RedwolfPrograms same

Redwolf Programs

So a chain of ants one mile long can go at 9 mph

Ginger Industries

well if we make a wild guess that all ants on average move at 0.1 mph

that's a 1 billion billion mph ant convoy

I wonder how much kinetic energy they'd have...

Ginger Industries

It's probably best for the laws of physics for us to just stick to 8 billion human souls

which you can do plenty more with

after traveling to the moon in 78 seconds, we still have 4 billion souls left

you must not be a fan of the word "helm" then huh :p

Redwolf Programs

@pxeger Hard to say. Depends on context.

@hyper-neutrino Words that are all yellow are actually often not that bad

It's words like "map" or "tone" that are bad

(p is yellow in the context of map)

@pxeger ah yes, cursed comment

pxeger

@cairdcoinheringaahing but that wouldn't be any fun, now, would it?

DLosc

7:14 PM

@GingerIndustries Suppose the mass of an average ant is 4 milligrams. If we convert that mass to energy using E = mc^2, we get about 360 gigajoules. The annual global energy consumption is estimated at 580 billion gigajoules. So we could power the whole world using only (!) about 1.6 billion ants per year.

pxeger

Ginger Industries

@DLosc so one "ant" is 360 gigajoules

would it be powered by

caird coinheringaahing

@pxeger SE chat being broken is basically the norm now :P

Redwolf Programs

If any part of SE chat works fine, it makes national news

DLosc

@pxeger That would convert significantly less of the ants to energy, so we'd need a lot more of them

Of what?

@cairdcoinheringaahing Wyoming is too big for us, we're golfers, remember?

caird coinheringaahing

A good metric is to think about how long the list of things generated will be for a few inputs, and how that's related. e.g. if you calculate permutations of n items, you'll get n! outputs, so it's O(n!)

Wait, this might work for a limited number of programs

Found it on Quora, link was half broken, so idk if it's any good

One thing you could do is imagine that every line of your code increments some counter and then guess how the size of your input would affect the value of the counter at the end
