Re^3: Bidirectional lookup algorithm? (poor XS solution)

That line below your signature is somewhat enigmatic:

It's an automatic appending of a collection of random snippets from the body of the post. It happens quite often when I post here. I try to remember to check for them and remove them; but sometimes I forget.

I'm told (by the PMDevs) that it is due to the browser I use -- Opera -- but the fact that it never happens on any other site I use makes me think it is more to do with PM than Opera; but its always easier to blame someone else's tools than fix your own code.

more than double time for lookup? Why? Is it due to method call/XS overhead?

I would assume so. Any XS code is always going to be at a disadvantage compared to built-ins; that's inevitable. Which means you really have to parr everything down to even begin to compete.

I've been using perlmonks since 2001 and this appending of random snippets hasn't happened to me, but then I don't use opera :/	[reply]

:) do you got any js in your free nodelet? What's a "free nodelet"? :) Seems I do have one, and there was some js there; though it only seemed to be loading some 3rd party js; not actually executing it. (Not sure how, why or when it got there.) But in any case, I don't have the free nodelet enable either on the frontpage or anywhere else, so it seems unlikely that is the cause. I have seen the effect -- random crap at the end of the post -- on 2 or 3 nodes by other people, but I don't remember who, or which nodes. But they might well have also been Opera users. It really is weird, in that it has persisted across several new versions of Opera -- which if it is an Opera bug, you'd think it would have been caught and dealt with by now -- and has never occurred anywhere else than this site.

(Update: And now I've hit "Create" and "update" once, its been joined by the link test from my footer.) (Update again: And after hitting "update" to add the line above, its been joined by the text: 'free nodelet') With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
