There is a train of thought that the more you explain, the more you lose authority by over-explaining, having less confidence as if you are seeking permission.
This can create doubt & uncertainty in your ability.
It can signal that your decisions are up for debate.
You can also lose the audience with excessive info, leading people to stop listening or miss the point. #decisions #overexplain #succinct #excess #confidence

A quotation from Horace

Whene’er you lecture, be concise: the soul
Takes in short maxims, and retains them whole:
But pour in water when the vessel’s filled,
It simply dribbles over and is spilled.
 
[Quidquid praecipies, esto brevis, ut cito dicta
percipiant animi dociles teneantque fideles:
omne supervacuum pleno de pectore manat.]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 335ff (2.3.335-337) (19 BC) [tr. Conington (1874)]

Ранг-селект словари

Это первая статья из планируемой серии про succinct data structures - класс наиболее компактных структур данных. Канонический пример такой структуры - это представление дерева в виде правильной скобочной последовательности, дерево из вершин таким образом представляется с помощью бит в то время как типичная динамическая реализация требовала бы как два указателя по 64-бит на каждый узел (разумеется можно немного сократить простыми оптимизациями, но даже близко 2 бита не получить). Фундамент подобных структур - это rank-select словарь , представляющий собой битовый вектор и дополнительную структуру для выполнению двух операций ранг и селект . В указанном примере с деревом с помощью ранга и селекта можно сделать базовую навигацию: найти номера потомков/родителей, узнать размер поддерева. В статье расскажу как делать эти операции быстро используя при этом всего 3,6% дополнительной памяти.

@grantbarrett @kf most people would probably prefer my #succinct mode to my usual droning #lecture mode. Plus i was on my phone, without my readers. Nobody needs to try to decipher my #intent when i can't really see what i typed. But in a pinch if you read out loud and listen to the sound of it you might be able to figure out which words I actually meant to use. #TalkToType often fails me in bare-ass in leeds.
