I don't know what you are trying to say at this point. You were arguing that every part of a program changes and expands. It should be pretty clear that that is not true.

When something doesn't need to change, that's at least an established algorithm. Algorithms like sorting, partitioning, hashing, reduce, map, swap etc. are common and don't change. Mathematics like linear algebra don't

A VPN is for hiding your IP address, not filtering. Whatever goes through the VPN, the VPN controller sees.

You're the only one talking about business logic. By definition business logic is not the same as fundamental algorithms or mathematics. Inverting a matrix doesn't change. A business wants to be able to change its logic to evolve

Not really, the individual STL algorithms haven't changed. Partition is still a one line loop. Some things can be left alone.

I'm not going to integrate LAPACK for a single line expression.

Domain knowledge is great and I think 30 years ago this was much more true. These days I think most software has so many mind melting inefficiencies that there is an avalanche of fat waiting to be shaken loose. Even without nonsense O(n^2)

Cryptocurrencies can scale easily, bitcoin has been artificially limited by nonsense politics to make a secondary layer from a single company. Lots of other cryptocurrencies have gone above 1MB, there is nothing special about a data rate s

Different techniques don't mean it isn't still natural image matting. I was guessing to give people a starting point on what to look at. Does it reference a paper somewhere? Just saying 'deep learning's doesn't re

Not much of what you said is actually true. Having it on your local network allows any wireless device to have a huge amounts of ads and trackers blocked automatically. Some sites were unusable on phones before and now they load fast and

This is an area of research that has been going on for years now, called "natural image matting". There are dozens of techniques of varying success that have been developed over the course of a decade and a half. My guess is that

It is a DNS server that makes every ad and tracking domain route to nothing. It speeds everything up and uses an almost undetectable amount of resources. It could be done in the router with different software I'm guessing, but I use t

That's all for the benefit of the developer to the detriment of the user. Also modern compilers condense C++ down pretty well. You can write something on godbolt.org and see how much waste there really is. You might be surprised.

Slow in what way? A computer from 15 years ago or old rasberry pi can run a node. What can't handle verifying one tiny block every 10 minutes while sending out data?
408.
by BubRoss 7y ago
Where are you possibly getting that latency is a problem for 10 minutes in between blocks that miners are deciding? All a node needs to do is basic verification while sending out data. Anyone who has just synced with the chain can see that

$5 a month can buy a VPS that runs a node with 1% of all of its resources.

It isn't at all and it never was. The transactions being limited to 1MB every 10 minutes means that anyone that can watch a youtube video can run a node, or pay $5 per month. This is a solution in search of a problem. Edit: Don't

That's called pi-hole and having it network wide is a game changer. 30% of all dns requests are blocked.

No, it's total nonsense of course. If you imagine a web browser with lots of tabs open, if someone closes lots of tabs they might be doing it specifically to free up memory. Even going over physical memory is not a death sentence anym

The article seems like it was written for a high school news paper. It's a shame because it seems like there is real research going on that doesn't depend on the smell of durian or what Anthony Bourdain thought of it.

I'm not sure how this is better than a raspberry pi. $5 more would get you a lot more power.

You do realize that you can have one code base and write in C++ right? You don't need a slow framework to have a UI run in multiple places.

I never run into this myself in modern C++ and I think it is about what I don't do. This might be similar on some level to the fact that rust constrains programmers purposely. I think both cases are indicative of better programming th

It is interesting that rust goes for a demographic of people coming from scripting languages or functional languages, but it seems like its niche might be much more suited to the lowest level of larger programs or embedded work where people

They asked what people are using it for right now and video encoding is one of those things. This is very direct. They didn't ask about solutions or what they should do about a particular problem, just about what people are currently

The biggest priority with small computers like this is thermal throttling. This doesn't talk about that at all, but whether you are buying a tiny case that barely fits a mITX motherboard or one of these, handling thermal throttling is

I'm not sure what you are trying to say exactly but it seems like you are making some sort of prediction of the future. Video encoding, especially newer codecs like HEVC and VP9 are CPU intensive and SIMD optimized tasks that people ar
