Care to share any details on the hashing scheme? Is it based on linear hashing, a la Litwin and Larson?

by Donch 12y ago
Thanks for the reply. Interesting that linear hashing had such a big effect, seeing as it is meant to be a slowly-occurring process that only happens when the average load factor of all buckets exceeds a threshold. I guess that was back in

I was just about to make the very same suggestion. Ignore the list and just read this book! The threading of the 'jaunting' concept was way ahead of its time in 1956 and the inspiration can be seen in many modern films.

It's horrible method with a horrible signature, that I didn't test :-) But the short variable declaration in the type switch does indeed save the casts the OP was complaining about. Even more correct and horrible: http:/&#x2

The example could have been simplified: func abs(x Top) Top { switch v := x.(type) { case int32: if v < 0 { return -v } case int64: if v < 0 { return -v } case float32: if v < 0 { return -v } case floa
