You can write a list data structure with performant 'delete' properties if you're willing to maintain a sort or a hash table. There would be people here bitching about memory usage if the stdlib did that natively. Here's a solution: don't use list.delete. You're using the wrong data structure if that's your solution to whatever collection you're maintaining.

Downvotes on comp sci 102. Nice.

We have this saying in my country "if grandma had a mustache she'd be a grandpa".

[omaranto]

I like my country's version better: "if grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle".

Which language/country is this?

I will use this in English regardless. I like it.

[omaranto]

Mexican Spanish. I don't know if they also use that saying in other Spanish speaking countries besides Mexico. In Spanish it goes: "Si mi abuelita tuviera ruedas, sería bicicleta".

If your aunt had nuts she'd be your uncle

[omaranto]

That has the same basic idea as the mustache version, but is pithier. I still prefer the surrealism of the bicycle.

You'd probably do better on HN to substitute 'decrying' for 'bitching'.

Noted, thanks. Didn't realize that was the issue.
