God fucking dammit.
I spend the entire day trying to get [this piece of shit] (https://github.com/php-ds/extension) to work and at the end of the day its tests pass, but when I try to instantiate a set, I still get bloody errors.
I mean, am I not punished enough for having no guidance in learning PHP and knowingly having to create an absolute monstrosity just because I don't know how to do it better.
Fuck it, I'm just gonna go cry myself to sleep now and only will start feeling like a failureagain, when I wake up.
sorry for bothering you with my problems.

    Don't kick yourself over doing something in an ugly way. It's better that you do it at all than that it's beautiful. I've tried to set up a site and given up a couple of times-- application development all the way for me.

    Good luck, dude. Working with difficult tools sucks.

    @strang3quark I am going to have roundabout 10000 devices (relatively complex object) stored in one structure and a list of 15000 MAC Addresses in another.
    I need to check whether a device has a Mac address and assign the security level accordingly.
    And iirc the set implementation allows me to do this on the weak Amazon instance I am going to be running this on in the time span that I have.

    @vringar I'm not experienced in this but I would probably use an inmemory SQLite database

    @strang3quark I should consider this. Thanks for the input.

    Additional info would be useful, but strang3quark has a valid point.

    Why did u plan using the ds extension?

    You could save half the data and be more efficient if u would split out the vendor part of the mac address.

    The device id, as in pci id, usb id, etc if it exists in the device object seems like a good reference to associate with the mac address.

    If you need help, dont be shy to ask.
