Computer Facts"bucket list" sounds a data structure that never comes up except in technical interviews
DNA schedule@computerfact no, that's a skip list. A bucket list is when you're in somebody's acute disfavor.
Matthew Martin@computerfact Please write a program that does all the things a process would ever want to do and would regret not doing before the process is terminated.

@mistersql @computerfact isn't this just Haskell
mcc@computerfact i think that's what you use in counting sort
Job@mcc @computerfact dammit, now you got me thinking about whether it ever would make sense to use a linked list instead of a flat array for counting sort (and its radix sort descendants)
Stefan Eissing@computerfact You‘ll encounter the if you ever work on the Apache webserver. A design of ~20 years ago that got some attention then.
If your interviewer uses it, you might apply to work on old code bases or they just use xeroxed copies of tech interview templates.
Marsh Ray@icing @computerfact basically a queue and free list for buffers right?
Andrew FeeneyA bucket list is like read-only stack. All push and no pop.
Hisham@computerfact It's an abstract data type with several operations:
putSquare()
putRectangle()
putTriangle()
putSemicircle()
...
but to the tester's despair, putSquare() accepts all shapes
