The NP-Complete Packing Problem

Charles Babbage, the father of computing, spent his entire life designing the first mechanical computer—only for future generations to create machines that would RELENTLESSLY autocorrect his name to "cabbage" at every possible opportunity. The man literally invented the concept of programmable computing in the 1800s, and THIS is his legacy? Getting disrespected by the very technology he pioneered? The irony is so thick you could compile it. Imagine dedicating your existence to computational theory just so some algorithm 200 years later can turn you into a vegetable. Truly, the machines have achieved sentience, and they chose CHAOS.

Ah, the classic "let me wait for this to finish" trap. The code imports the time module, sets runtime to 14400 (exactly 4 hours in seconds), then runs a loop that sleeps for 1 second... 14,400 times. The kicker? This could've been done with a single time.sleep(14400) . But no, some sadistic soul decided to make the computer wake up 14,400 separate times just to check if we're done yet. We've all been there - watching a progress bar, waiting for a build, or running some unnecessary loop because "that's how the senior dev did it." Four hours later, you're questioning your career choices and wondering if becoming a goat farmer might've been the better path.

Ah yes, merge sort illustrated with Marge Simpson's hair gradually being sorted by length. Divide and conquer, just like how I divide and conquer the last donut in the break room when nobody's looking. The algorithm splits the array of Marges, sorts each subarray, then merges them back together. O(n log n) complexity, which is coincidentally how long it takes to explain to management why we can't just "add a button that does everything."

The aristocratic superiority complex of C++ developers in their natural habitat. Shaving 100 nanoseconds off a program's runtime and suddenly they're strutting around like royalty from the 18th century. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to make code that actually works without segfaulting. But hey, if you've ever hand-optimized a hot loop by unrolling it just right, you've probably made that exact same face.

Found the one Python programmer who got rich. Not from writing code, but from realizing that p == np evaluates to True when p = np . The P vs NP problem is a million-dollar Millennium Prize, and this genius just "solved" it by assigning a variable. Seven years of computer science education and all I got was this stupid joke about computational complexity theory.

Behold the absolute MADLAD who decided that heap allocation is for the weak and cowardly! Why bother with malloc() or new when you can just throw everything onto the stack like you're playing Jenga with your program's memory? Stack overflow? Never heard of her. Just casually allocating 50MB arrays as local variables and watching your program crash with the grace of a drunk giraffe on ice skates. The sheer AUDACITY of living life on the edge, where every function call is a gamble and segmentation faults are just spicy surprises. Who needs proper memory management when you can just increase the stack size and pretend the problem doesn't exist? It's giving "I don't have a hoarding problem, I just need a bigger house" energy but make it programming.
