minus-squarerbn@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up33·2 months agoTo reduce the chance of errors, you can multiply all numbers by a factor of 10, 100, 1000, 10000, … for the timeout. The higher the factor, the lower the chances of an incorrect result. And as no one asked about performance…
minus-squarefilcuk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up35·2 months agoAs added benefit, you can then opyimise the code by dividing the number by 2, making it twice as fast. Think of the savings!
minus-squarelugal@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoBetter yet: take the square root and you get a sub-linear run time
minus-squareBlueKey@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoMaybe not peak performance but heigh CPU efficency, it’s load ist mostly 0.
