Talk:In-place algorithm

message: According to Wikipedia: Naming conventions, I propose moving this page to the noun phrase In-place algorithm. Sound good? There shouldn't be a hyphen between "work" and "in" anyway. Deco 02:28, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good. I vote in favour :) --Clausen 22:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed move

message: It seems to me that there are two different meanings for "in-place": algorithms which modify their inputs so that the output is put in the same place as where the input was, and algorithms that only require constant additional space.
In a theoretical settting, I think the latter is standard.
I think we should either decide that the first one is wrong, or emphasis the ambiguity.
--Clausen 05:47, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a tricky ambiguity. I thought about this and added a paragraph regarding it. I think it's outright wrong to say that an algorithm which replaces its input with its output is in-place even if it uses large amounts of auxilary storage (although this is done informally). More ambiguous is whether the output space should be counted in determining the auxilary space used, which is never done in theory but sometimes done in practice. Deco 08:20, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Allo.
The reason QuickSort is sometimes referred to as an in-place sort is because there's more than one definition of "in-place". Some reference materials will strictly mandate "constant" additional space, while others define it as meaning "constant or logarithmic" (O(N) or O(log N)) additional space.
So, depending on which definition you use, QuickSort can be in-place, or not. 139.57.100.63 (talk) 21:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Flu

message: I added the top-of-article Dab for "Influenza", and the distinct Dab page Flu, for related reasons.  They each have to do with one of two related confusions:  
# One is the  misleading standard usage of flu as a synonym for both "stomach flu" and "influenza"; 
# the other is the understandable but mistaken use of "influenza" as a synonym for "stomach flu", by people who correctly deduce that "flu" is derived from "influenza" but don't realize that "influenza" is no longer a more formal name for "stomach flu".
--Jerzy(t) 06:53 & Jerzy(t) 07:03, 2005 Feb 24 (UTC)
:I'm not sure that it needs disambiguation, but it certainly doesn't need two disambiguations. For all intents and purposes. flu is synonymous with influenza, and many of the links to "flu" rely on that fact. "Stomach flu" - a misnomer - is more than adequately disambiguated by your addition at the top of influenza. - Nunh-huh 07:00, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: I

message: For the moment, I've removed 'Flu is short for the Latin flumis, which means to die of respiratory disease'."  I find it not very credible for a few reasons:
* It phrases it as an infinitive; Latin infinitives do not end in 'is'.  'is' sounds like either second person, probably present, ('you X') or an ablative/dative plural, "by/for those who Xed/were Xed" (depending on whether this proposed verb is deponent or not, it could be active or passive in such a noun form.)
* WORDS, a fairly exhaustive Latin dictionary in which I've (as far as I can recall) never been unable to locate a word, has no entry for flumis or anything I can think of that might turn into 'flumis'.
* The only word I can think of (granted, I'm no Latin genius) sounds like flumis, except for, say, fluo, which means 'I flow'.  But there's no way that could become flumis that I can think of.
:That etymology is wrong.  The Merriam-Webster says that influenza comes from the "Italian, literally, influence, from Medieval Latin influentia; from the belief that epidemics were due to the influence of the stars."  Flu is a well-documented shortening of the word influenza. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:31, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Miles

message: According to his website at www.robert-miles.com (which at the moment redirects to his record label S:alt), this explination is given for the songs composition: "'Children' was Robert's immediate and typically honest emotional response to pictures of the child victims of war with which his father had just returned from a humanitarian mission to the ex-Yugoslavia. So moved was Robert by the plight of these innocents, caught up in so much devastation and atrocity, that he felt compelled to begin work on the track the very next morning as he returned from playing his DJ set in the early hours." 
I've thus removed the part about the song being composed about the deaths in the rave community, and will try and write up the correct information soon.

thread_title: Much ado about "Z"

message: Johanningsmeier bio, pp. 11-12: "During this period, according to various records, Elizabeth gave birth to nine children, including William E. Foster (the "Z" was added much later)."
I recall having read somewhere that the initial was used to lend "pizazz" to a bland name -- tons of Williams, tons of Fosters, the Z. made the boring name pop. Not sure where I read that, but I believe that's the origin -- an arbitrary initial that would look good on a pamphlet. Not sure where the myth of "Zebulon" came from, but I'm knocking it out of the bio, because it's wrong.
