@sjw@neckbeard.xyz array is better if you do not need scaling

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz >runs out of space >merely adds a new node Heh, nothing personnel kid

@sss@pleroma.dark-alexandr.net arrays scale fine

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz no, not really, so if you do not know maximum count of elements, using arrays is a high risk, but of course it also depends on how you will use this array.

sjw - https://neckbeard.xyz/users/sjw Imagine throwing away constant time indexing and good cache performance just so you can do a couple of middle insertions

@sss@pleroma.dark-alexandr.net My 128 cores and 5 TB of RAM says arrays scale fine.

@sumikasumi@paypig.org Imagine having smol cache

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz no, not really ) a lot depends of algorithm used, different containers perform well for different algorithms, indeed it does exists algorithms designed for plain arrays, but also exists a lot of algos which does not work with plain arrays at all

@sjw@neckbeard.xyz and it is not about cores or ram

@sss@pleroma.dark-alexandr.net Everything works well when you have 4 GB of L3 cache.
