Comment on Programmer tries to explain binary search to the police

  Yes, but, as you noted in an earlier post, that isn’t what you’re responding to. The point of the post you stated you are responding to is that if an event occurs that leaves no change to the context from before and after the occurrence, then binary search is ineffective.

  The fact that you’re wasting this much time trying to defend such a simple error is confusing. The reasonable response is, “oh, yes, in that particular case, binary search is ineffective.”

    I keep saying what I’m responding to, but you’re trying to change the narrative of what I’m responding, to as a debate tactic.

    Someone uses a debate tactic of mentioning an “one off” and then directing their whole conversation to that one singular point is not intellectually honest in the whole conversation being had.

        Looking for your point of flesh now too, eh? Lemmy is a really great place to have conversations w/o toxicity or gang-gatekeeping.

        Well, having been in the business, there are signs, “tells”.

        But, you do you too, as well.
