How do you extract the last (largest) entry for each normalized key from the sorted list? What is the command line function?

What’s the word for when snark backfires?

Actually early genx. I don’t think most millennials were old enough for a lot of the jokes in 90’s simpsons as they were young teens. But glad you got it!

Go try your method and spot the bug. If you can’t, then respond and I’ll tell you. hint: you need one more manipulation to find the answer before or after the sort, there’s a command line version of it but it uses .. a hash.

I know. I’m talking about Perl. Try to keep up.

What’s nostalgic to me is that this is such a classic Perl pattern: hashing manipulated strings to find relationships. Prior to Perl doing this was painful. Boost wasn’t a thing. Python was in its cradle and Java was still struggling with beans. Perl removed the barriers between complex coding ideas and an implementation that C wasn’t ready for. The time from thought to prototype was near instant compared to current compiled languages.

What a painfully simple oversight that I’m sure the vast majority of programmers would overlook because the most popular languages are interpreted ones that natively support arbitrary precision bigints.

1Password literally asks you to print out your private key. Yet their hygiene is lauded.

I thought this was a real paper at first.

An easier and more reliable way to make money is to sell it to neighboring countries that need energy. Like they had been doing. Seems to me a little corrupt birdie told them about BTC and their ruling class wanted in on another way to hide wealth. Like every other use of BTC

Brands that never die are called necrobrands? Necro means of death. More like immortal brands.

How would I find the CVE's on sudo/su? I opened up mitre.org and cve.org, but searches for sudo/su brought up hundreds of issues (or more), and most of them were not about sudo/su. (It's a bit like searching for "The The"'s music on early Google.)

Because then you end up with multiple versions of a critical tool, which drift out of sync, and create more vulnerabilities.

(e.g., look at the bluetooth/hci interface on linux.)
