We had a long discussion about how your sorts moved records (fixed length areas of memory) rather than adjusted a list of pointers, and was going to be slow on anything other than a small number of short records due to the amount of data being moved. > > We haven't had any "long conversations" --- that would imply that I > was int erested in what you were saying and that there was an exchange > of ideas --- actually, you're just a troll, and you lob weird > accusations like this at me routinely. > >> You and others >> have had discussions about how you didn't invented a tree you called a >> "symtab", because it was well understood years before you dropped off the >> teat; and how you encouraged novices to use it inappropriately because >> its performane sucked. > > I invented the algorithm used in symtab.

Your present appears to be repeating the past. We've been over some of the novice packages issues here before. You did not invent anything but the name "symtab"; splay trees have been around a lot longer than that. > > BTW: It is contradictory to say that it "sucked" and also to say that > I did n't invent it and that it is well-known. You are not even good > at being a t roll! > To quote Passiniti: "Every day, programmers who are unaware of the work of others often come up with sub-optimal implementations of well-known algorithms." He was right, since what you rediscovered and sub optimally implemented was in fact a splay tree, and its performance was significantly less impressive than you claimed. But you know that, since it was discussed at considerable length here on clf. It was you who said then, and repeated in this thread now, that you didn't read anything by others, and that you were convinced your work was superior. The areas I find less than useful in your library for novices are: Sorts of records Arrays Counted string words that can buffer overflow and aren't re-entrant "Optimisations" that are premature (all the 'word,' words) and use state Then there are the sorts, symtab and wierd use of terminology like "toucher" and "definer". The fact that you created this package is laudable. But you appear unwilling to accept criticism of some of the package's features, and tend to descend into rants, particularly nasty attacks on individuals, when asked to justify some of your wilder claims. Not a post goes by without an attack on Ms Rather, the poor woman. They are plainly driven by some deep seated problem you need to get in control. You also have a Pavlovian reaction to Passaniti, and to the word "sucks", seeing him and it as some kind of homosexual conspiracy to attack your masculinaty, and you fall into a rage at the very thought. Imagine I accused you of being a pederast? You regularly use the word "toucher". Obscene! Stop promoting your perversions on CLF! Should I get into such a rage and end every post to you with such a slur?
