Was thinking about what to do with it when I get home. Seems like there are some good opportunities like: github.com/Night-Trader...

If you can get it the networking peripherals.
GitHub - Night-Traders-Dev/pico_dns

Perhaps, the idea is that after a certain boundary the sort should be maintained and there is a common case of small descriptor arrays in the V8 Engine. 🤔

How to decide? Well perhaps we can graph a linear search vs binary search operations.

Also, Binary Search really only provides a benefit if you are maintaining sort order on inserts.

#claude 's guidance:
Use sliding window when ALL THREE conditions are met:
1. Contiguous subarray/substring problem
2. Monotonic constraint: Adding elements to the window maintains invariant.
3. O(1) or O(k) validation: Can check if window is valid quickly

For example "Longest Nice Substring" is tagged as a sliding window problem, but because we can have "abAB" it is difficult to check the validity of the sliding window. "ab" and "AB" are not nice, but together they are nice.
