np-
(jargon) | NP-
/N·P/, pref.
Extremely. Used to modify adjectives describing a level or quality of
difficulty; the connotation is often ‘more so than it should be’. This is
generalized from the computer-science terms NP-hard and NP-complete;
NP-complete problems all seem to be very hard, but so far no one has found
a proof that they are. NP is the set of Nondeterministic-Polynomial
problems, those that can be completed by a nondeterministic Turing machine
in an amount of time that is a polynomial function of the size of the
input; a solution for one NP-complete problem would solve all the others. “
Coding a BitBlt implementation to perform correctly in every case is
NP-annoying.”
Note, however, that strictly speaking this usage is misleading; there are
plenty of easy problems in class NP. NP-complete problems are hard not
because they are in class NP, but because they are the hardest problems in
class NP.
