This post is very delayed, but things have been busy.
I'm working my way up to finger trees, which are a wonderful
functional data structure. They're based on trees - and like many
tree-based structures, their performance relies heavily on the balance
of the tree. The more balanced the tree is,…
Another cool, but frequently overlooked, data structure in the tree family is called the B-tree. A B-tree is a search tree, very similar to a BST in concept, but optimized differently.
BSTs provide logarithmic time operations, where the performance
is fundamentally bounded by the number of…
It's been a while since I've written about any data structures. But it just so happens that I'm actually really working on implementing a really interesting and broadly useful data structure now, called a Rope.
A bit of background, to lead in. I've got this love-hate relationship with
some of the…
So, we've built up some
pretty nifty binary trees - we can use the binary tree both as the basis of an
implementation of a set, or as an implementation of a dictionary. But our
implementation has had one major problem: it's got absolutely no way to
maintain balance. What that means is…
A thought occurs to me. We can trace down evolution to about 500 or 600 million years ago and that doesn't even include the single cell stuff.
This leads me to believe that on some of those rocky planets we're now starting to detect there has to be life, be it microbial, prokaryote or eukaryote, it's more than likely there.
It's a big universe. In my mind we cannot be the only so called intelligent species.
Does cladistics make more sense to you over the traditional way of organizing organisms?
Date-a-Clade?
For a second there I thought it was referring to an intercladistic romantic relationships and dating website.
Marvellous; I've taken a copy for my "Desktop". I am surprised, though, that humans' closest non-primate relative is the mouse; I would have thought it would have been the sheep, particularly in New Zealand.
