 * measured in `lastDepth` (skipping the first line of input by defaulting it
 * to `Number.MAX_VALUE`) and compare it to each line of input as we read it.
 * Once we've compared, set the `lastDepth` to the current depth for the next
 * iteration.
 *
 * This solution should be O(n) for compute and O(n) for memory since we
 * iterate the input once and only read a line at a time, we actually have O(1)
 * memory, but since the input is on disk, that's kind of unfair to say.
