Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 2 Days Ago by xrjf Just a quick update for anyone interested: I have revisited and significantly improved the code, aiming for a more professional structure and better performance. The updated version avoids freezing the UI during long operations and follows more robust programming practices.

Yeah, this won't transform the PATH of any existing process. In increasing annoyance order, you may have to: 1. Start a new cmd window 2. Log out and log in again 3.

Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 1 Week Ago by xrjf About DiDi DiDi (Differential Directory) was originally developed as part of my thesis project in the early 1990s. The name bears no relation to the more recent Chinese ride-sharing company. At the time, DiDi was a novel approach within its academic context, but a change in legislation unfortunately led to the closure of the school and the … Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 1 Week Ago by xrjf For example, as Donald Knuth points out in The Art of Computer Programming, the theoretical lower bound for comparison-based sorting algorithms is K × log₂(N). I developed a very simple method that matches this performance. However, DiDi goes far beyond: its performance is proportional to K × (maximum key length), regardless of the number of … Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 1 Week Ago by xrjf As an illustration, consider the theoretical lower bound for comparison-based sorting, as stated by Donald Knuth in The Art of Computer Programming: K × log₂(N). I developed a simple method that matches this limit. For example, to sort the list {2, 5, 7, 1, 4, 3, 8, 6}: Sort pairs: (2, 5) → [1] (1, 7) → [2] (3, 4) → [3] (6, 8) → [4] Merge… Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 1 Week Ago by xrjf I've just made an update because some records weren't being added properly. The issue was that the form didn't take into account that the register field (in the call to DiDi) is passed by reference. Re: Differential Directory, indexing method 1 Week Ago by noahevans This is a brilliant explanation of how Differential Directory (DiDi) indexing works — very efficient and elegant. The idea of storing only the first differing bit between keys reminds me of how we optimize systems for speed and memory, much like how some tech repair services streamline diagnostics.

If a webpage could run a program installed on another computer, the entire world wide web would be hacked into tiny pieces and cease to exist. No one would ever use the web, it would be so totally insecure. So web pages are prohibited from running programs on your computer.
