2019-03-13 Thread Gregorius van den Hoven
I've developed a new binary search that is up to 2 times faster than the binary search used by virtually every software application. It solves the problem of how to perform a boundless binary search by combing two novel adaptations. I've licensed it under GPL 3.0 and it is available here:
