There's little excuse for laziness when pursuing new knowledge. A two second Google search and a new tab is not a burden. If you didn't get the answer first time, you should qualify the search with one of the other keywords from the article.

A certain level of reader sophistication is assumed, and not everything is explained with a high level of hand-holding. It's a technical tutorial, not a beginner's tutorial.

TPS = transactions per second.

In general you'd be right, but in this specific case there's a fair bit of ambiguity as to what "transaction" is taken to mean. A definition or two wouldn't have gone amiss here.
