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.
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.
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

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.)
I built a home security system using PoE CCTV cameras, a small linux box, and copious use of GStreamer. Yes I know there are hundreds of these on GitHub, but I looked at dozens that were awful (sorry, Motion).
At first I tried all kinds of methods to turn it on only when there was something interesting to avoid drowning in terabytes of data, detecting things like: cars, people, animals. I tried classical image processing methods, and tools like Motion, then tried similar image compression algs to find significant macroblocks; then I tried all types of methods in OpenCV; next came several neural nets with off-the-shelf YOLO/SSD object detection (using Google TFUs, Nvidia Jetsons), I even tried retraining the networks with my own tiny dataset.
In the end, everything sucked with too many false positives blowing up my cloud alert SMS traffic to myself. So now I just record 6 cameras nonstop to files. I don't get the benefit alerts, but nothing much happens, and if it does, I have history recorded.
It was a fun project, I tried all kinds of codecs, cameras, languages, frameworks, hardware, etc. I even started out trying to do custom battery-powered wireless device using a raw Chinese MIPI CCDs and building my own WiFI station. I spent over 3 years on it, just to end up with your basic CCTV box. But it was fun!
One of the claims about attention disorders IIRC is that it only affects thing people having to do things they don’t like. Which seems a bit sketchy to me so I probably am misunderstanding but the idea is even kids with adhd can play Minecraft for a day straight because they like it but can’t do math.
Are they really that noisy? I fly 10" drones and once they are about 30 ft away you can't really hear them. 3" and 5" drones are silent at 30ft on a calm day.
