Then we are good.

Hopefully.

Would you say that it reads better as “not x” or “x not” (if we remove all special characters)?

Let me take a stab at it:

Problem: Given two list of length n, find what elements the two list have in common. (we assume that there are not duplicates within a single list)

Naive solution: For each element in the first list, check if it appears in the second.

Bogo solution: For each permutation of the first list and for each permutation of the second list, check if the first item in each list is the same. If so, report in the output (and make sure to only report it once).

Sounds like you should find a new product to use.

Can we at least see it?

And how long you watched

To be fair, this is a classical strategi in startups called “wizard of Oz prototyping” - it is used to test if there is a market for something before the tech is ready. But the tech is supposed to be created soon after and actually work…

Or import this

Read the title as “shooting” and thought “another American post…”

Comfort, I assume

I guess it was some good hot takes after all.

(And I agree with all you counter points)
