The second premise is very dependent on the algorithm and the hardware itself. “Faster” can be very different when parallelization comes into play. Baring that, ASIC’s also a thing. Also, Moore’s law has not been very relevant since around 2020? The new Moore’s law is power efficiency and not transistor density. Say for example, we’ve peaked at 5GHz on a single core performance with x86 ISA. Then the next step is how to reduce the power consumption for the same 5GHz.

Now, the readme mentioned about using Argon2id. A cpu-memory-hard function. So you are also limited by the theoretical maximum memory that you could allocate to crack the puzzle faster.

I bet the military/spy agency has finally got their hands on faster cracking technology.

Depends on where you are. After the event horizon, the only place you can go is to the singularity (Schwarzschild Black Hole)

Make CScript, an interpreted, duck-typed language

Oh, thanks. Yeah, I know what it is. And I’ll keep it to myself as I understand your stance on not revealing yourself!

I’m gonna take a guess, either it is BlackMagicProbe OR Bus Pirate. Both are amazing tools to have!

Not just clickbait. Straight up lying.

I also noticed significantly less activity than usual so you are not alone. Judging by the other commenter, it’s likely some federation issue.

The spiral is a black hole. Anyway you take it, it goes downwards.

That’s a lotta heat

Meanwhile my Auf Wiedersehen got deleted on a chain of J-A (granted it is small, but still)

Ahh, then the modification must be done on the AST level not the in-memory representation since anyway you do it, you must retain the original.

Hmm, maybe I am missing the point. What exactly do you mean by handling automatic updates in place? Like, the program that requires and parses the config file is watching for changes to the config file?

JSON5

Until someone cannot tell the difference between tab and space when configuring or you miss one indentation. Seriously, whoever thinks indentation should have semantic meaning for computers should burn in hell. Indentation is for us, humans, not computers. You can write a JSON with or without indentation if you want. Also, use JSON5 to have comments and other good stuff for a config file.

Yep. Much like we don’t treat phone numbers like a number. The rule of thumb is that if you don’t do any arithmetic with it, it is not a “number” but numeric.

Its already in your word. Proportional. A proportional control, or P control (generally, a PID with the K_I and K_D set to 0)

Alright some edit as I will try to explain my answer. Say for example a value ‘x’ is > 0 and < 100 (so, 0 < x < 100). In this case, the point that you wanted to reach is 100, such that x is always getting bigger and closer to 100 (x->100). If you subtract x from 100, you get the remaining, call it ‘y’, that you need to add to get to 100 (y=100-x). So now, the rate of change must be proportional to that number. I.e., as x gets closer to 100, y will get smaller. How much faster is determined by a proportionality constant, that can be called K_P.

I can already imagine the log generated will be a hint. We usually automate those anyway as it is closer to (D)DoS too.

Yeah, nevermind, I didn’t know what I wrote either. I need my sleep lol.

Depends on the application. When the user is able to set the schema via database, then you cannot assume the shape of the data.
