Following this logic whole human life is a puzzle game.

It’s a good suggestion

I still prefer 7z for compression

7z was developed in 1999. As far as I know, rar was popular due to was shareware with practically unlimited “trial” and there was an opinion, that paid products are better.

7z can be at least decompressed in macOS & FreeBSD out of the box.

On windows tar.bz/gz/xz unpacks to tar and then to actual files. As tar is a separate archive format

7z has way better (ultra) compression

7z uses proprietary rar library to unpack

Does it still work?

Integer sqrt can be used for integers with any length, not only for integers fit into f64

Integer sqrt is usually not a library function and it’s very easy to implement, just a few lines of code. Algorithm is well defined on Wikipedia you read a lot. And yes, it doesn’t use FPU at all and it’s quite fast even on i8086.

Algorithm is so plain and simple, it doesn’t require nightly or Rust specifically to implement.

Nice article, I enjoyed it. Why float sqrt has been used? Integer sqrt is way faster and easily supports integers of any lengths

Could you please explain why he should be embarrassed by such post? What would you improve?
