the dominant emotion at “Love Rising” wasn’t anarchy but reassurance—a therapeutic vibe, broken up by pleas to register to vote. Nashville’s mayor, John Cooper, a Democrat, spoke; stars from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” showed up via Zoom. The folky Americana singer Joy Oladokun, who had a “keep hope alive” sticker on their guitar, spoke gently about growing up in a small town while being Black and “queer, sort of femme, but not totally in the binary.” Jake Wesley Rogers, whose sequinned suit and big yellow glasses channelled Elton John, sang a spine-tingling version of his queer-positive pop anthem “Pluto”: “Hate on me, hate on me, hate on me! / You might as well hate the sun / for shining just a little too much.”

In the web3 value chain, the profits don't all go to the assemblage as they do in Web2.0. All the money doesn't go to Facebook and Google here if this vision sees reality.

In the existing implementation in the C++ library, the code does a series of tests to see how many items it needs to sort and calls the dedicated sorting function for that number of items. The revised code does something much weirder. It tests if there are two items and calls out to a separate function to sort them if needed. If it's greater than two items, the code calls out to sort the first three items. If there are three items, it returns the results of that sort.

If there are four items to sort, however, it runs specialized code that is extremely efficient at inserting a fourth item into the appropriate place within a set of three sorted items. This sounds like a weird approach, but it consistently outperformed the existing code.
