Well maybe you should quit making excuses and sort your closet so that it has better access performance

Defrag, you say

At least order the items to allow for a binary search.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

the sort should happen naturally, hang the cleaned clothes up in the most accessible areas. the ones you use the least should trend towards inaccessible.

And my room is not messy it's simply approaching a state of maximum entropy after which it can't get any messier so it's actually more efficient to leave it in that state for some time before cleaning.

There's a non 0 chance that it ends up in a clean state on its own given enough time.

Read Algorithms to Live by Mom, it just works!

If your L1 is overfilled, you're gonna have issues anyway

When everything is a cache, nothing is a cache.

A dirty cache will get you grounded.

I try to be chill with my kids but holy hell man... I draw the line at food. After we found a thermos full of fur, and a decomposed sandwich in a lunchbag under a pile in the closet I have no fucking chill lol.

DO YOU WANT BUGS?! ah the joys of parenting

My attempt at a callback (reply):

Mom: Your CPU (brain) can't handle the L1 cache parameters you are attempting to achieve, until you expand your regularization abilities (chair too small for the cloths you wish to access quickly and brain too disorganized to be useful).

Mom: So run a Disk Cleanup (organize your closet) or prepare to meet the blue screen of death (you are about to catch some hands from big mama; mom is good at fighting).

Mom: I applaud your organizational skills. With that kind of performance we will expect you to be at breakfast at 7 AM sharp.

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

You fool you need a bigger chair to keep the cache fast, otherwise you'll accidentally make a slow ass stack memory because you have to unload all the clothes on top to get to the bottom.

Cleaning is just adding entropy. You’re not helping Mom!
