Today, we’re going to do a technical deep-dive into how Tor really works. No mention of how to access Tor, no mention of what might be on Tor. This is how Tor works. Without speculation and without exaggeration of what Tor is. Just a deep-dive into the technical stuff of how Tor works. This article is designed to be read by anyone, with **ZERO **knowledge on networking or Tor. Let’s dive right in....
Dynamic programming is breaking down a problem into smaller sub-problems, solving each sub-problem and storing the solutions to each of these sub-problems in an array (or similar data structure) so each sub-problem is only calculated once. It is both a mathematical optimisation method and a computer programming method. Optimisation problems seek the maximum or minimum solution. The general rule is that if you encounter a problem where the initial algorithm is solved in O(2n) time, it is better solved using Dynamic Programming....
In this short 10 minute article, you’ll learn what the functional paradigm is in Python. You’ll also learn about list comprehensions. 📌 Functional Paradigm In an imperative paradigm, we do things by giving the computer a sequence of tasks and then it executes them. While executing them, it can change states. For example, let’s say we set A = 5, then we change the value of A. We have variables in the sense that the value inside the variable varies....
No talk about downloading things on BitTorrent. Or the best clients to do so. Just a deep-dive into the technical side of it. Anyone can read this article. Requires ZERO knowledge on networking or BitTorrent to read this. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files. In February 2013, BitTorrent was responsible for 3.35% of all worldwide bandwidth, more than half of the 6% of total bandwidth dedicated to file sharing....
Timsort: A very fast , O(n log n), stable sorting algorithm built for the real world — not constructed in academia. Image from here. Timsort is a sorting algorithm that is efficient for real-world data and not created in an academic laboratory. Tim Peters created Timsort for the Python programming language in 2001. Timsort first analyses the list it is trying to sort and then chooses an approach based on the analysis of the list....
