Large problem the size of a small problem

Small problem the size of a large problem?

[demize@unstable.systems]

@mcc I think I'm intimately familiar with both of these and the small problems the sizes of large problems are the worst

[chillicampari@layer8.space]

@mcc 100 small problems the size of a large problem.

@mcc small struct the size of a large struct has been boxed when passed to a C# function

@mcc mountain, meet molehill?

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@chillicampari I've got 99 problems and a *double checks* sorry, what I meant to say is I have 100 problems.

@chillicampari @mcc

100 small problems collectively 2^n times the size of a large problem, and if you're lucky n is not 100 but it's definitely >1

[fl0und3r@defcon.social]

@mcc 3 small problems in a trenchcoat?

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc Graham's number of problems (both interpretations of this are equal in count)

[gsuberland@chaos.social]

@mcc (for those unfamiliar, it's one of the largest specific numbers ever used in a real mathematical proof)

@mcc @chillicampari would you rather fight one horse-sized problem or a hundred problem sized ducks

[jamie@zomglol.wtf]

@chrisamaphone @mcc @chillicampari Came to the replies just for this 💯

[adriano@lile.cl]

@mcc @chillicampari [extremely boss voice] you mean you have 100 *opportunities*

[june@social.nouveau.community]

@mcc 30-50 feral small problems

@mcc @chillicampari Have you been using regular expressions again?
