*clears throat*
It's been a month since I published an article... so today I published two! One is available now for everyone, the other one is patrons-only for a week. ✹
✹ New article: "What's in a Rainbow table?"

An 86-minute journey into "cracking" MD5 hashes with Rust — with brute force, exhaustive hash table, and rainbow tables. We use rayon and memmap!

Available now for $10+ patrons, unlocks Nov 4 for everyone: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/whats-in-a-rainbow-table
If you like my writing, you can support me at whatever level you want on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fasterthanlime 

Starting with the $10/month tier, you get early access to all "timed exclusives", and you're able to generate friend links to share them with your friends! đŸ„°
If you're not able to pay for the $10/month tier, and you really need a distraction right now, just DM me — I'm happy to send you a friend link to the latest article. 😊
Thanks so much for your support: actually getting paid to write these gives me all the justification I need to put in a lot more effort into each article.

I couldn't do this without y'all 💖
By the way! These two articles use the new asset pipeline I talked about in this thread: https://twitter.com/fasterthanlime/status/1317846384071016449
