Yall are still knocking on this door ? Havent you learned that the devs dont give a shit what you say ? <| sep |> Wait could you answer to my other question then ? <| sep |> They ' re just trying to make up for all their fake election coverage . <| sep |> Haha , watched that exact segment yesterday and thought the same thing . Maybe this clip will be useful sometime . <| sep |> Because there is 1 person on nights and 4 on days . <| sep |> The , er , generality of hash tables makes speaking about their generalpurpose behavior very difficult . I too would love to see some stats on how hash tables are used though I can ' t even begin to think of where you ' d look for them , but it ' s easy to encounter uses where access is not the common case . For anyone leveraging the uniqueness properties of a hash table as a poor man ' s set , insertions are going to outnumber accesses . For anyone using a hash table as a cache , I suspect that the majority of operations will be insertions , followed by updates or deletes to eventually invalidate those entries , while a small fraction of keys will be ever be accessed at all though the few that do get accessed may be accessed a large number of times .
