Yeah I mean I guess I'm looking for what options there are for interfacing with computers in a standard way. I get needing to implement something like SPI or I2C or etc but I'm curious to know what the best options are, especially if you are wanting to interface with PCIe.

Is it best to interface directly with the PCIe bus from the FPGA? Is it better to abstract with some kind of IC? Is the board or the computer the master clock? Is there some kind of encoding scheme that needs to be adhered to?

How quickly, really? I remember a while ago I had a discussion on here where someone told me a hash method was insecure, as you could crack it with a GPU. I downloaded hashcat, put in the hash of a 6 character string, and left it running overnight on a GTX1070 and it was still going.

In most countries in Europe there are hidden taxes that don't appear in your payroll, but the company pays for you. It is called the "company contribution" that comes from the money you earn for the company. If you do $100,000, for example, and the company does not want any profit, the company will give you 75,000 and pay 25,000 as company part, then from your 75,000 you pay 30,000 (heavily rounded), so in total the government gets 55,000 in taxes and you get 45,000 home, but you thing the taxes are lower than in reality.
In Romania one year ago the taxes were united in a single set, so now you see on the payroll that you pay double the taxes than a year before, but you take the same money home. The company part is just visible in the payroll, nothing else changed.
my father in law did commercial HVAC work as an independent and his wife did the books. He made 250k/year before retiring.

Right, any database where you just go ALTER TABLE blocklist ADD INDEX ('ip'); is faster than that homebrew O(n) solution. No need for another homebrew solution.

Ended up reading the whole post anyway because now I'm curious if this radix tree might be better than a tree a database would use, but they never compared the performance between any old index and their radix tree.

Are you asking in good faith, or as a setup to respond how parent's choice is just as corrupt? I ask because parent didn't say they moved to a non-corrupt jurisdiction, they just said they moved away from Chicago.

Pedantry aside, if parent's answer is "someplace other than Chicago", then they're probably better off. That place has been a cesspool of corruption, both state and city, since I was a kid; and I'm not young.
It doesn't actually say anywhere that they want to kill themselves except for the title. This is bad article. That being said it seems to be implying their depression is higher, stress is higher, and satisfaction is lower. I think the reason could be that they are spending the entire visit collecting data and not really treating or developing a rapport with the patient. I personally feel that most of my doctors visits over the past 10 years have been very impersonal and they were rushing to get me out. This is a stark contrast to the family practitioner I had for 20 years prior who felt like a family member. I actually don't go to the doctors hardly anymore due to bad experiences with them and never feeling like I'm getting adequate care. I'm sure doctors are aware of this and since many got into the profession specifically to help people I'm sure it takes a toll on them psychologically when they feel they can't do their job. The solution to this is more automated data collection IMO.

> Forgive me, but you haven’t been very convincing.

I don't need to convince anyone; it is a self-evident truth that cryptocurrency is wholly impractical for displacing centralized institutions. It's self-evident because it hasn't happened and there isn't even a whiff of a possibility that it could. Cryptocurrencies are a strange and interesting technical novelty, but they are closer to a video game than anything resembling a challenge to currently centralized institutions.

> centralized institutions have broken many peoples’ trust in the past

You keep repeating that but its irrelevant. Whether or not centralized institutions are breaking people's trust, cryptocurrency is obviously not a solution to the problem.

> not that I’m racing to close my accounts

Of course you're not because cryptocurrency is obviously not an alternative to a bank account in the same way that a drone is not an alternative to a car.

> Just the same, I’m not ready to write off an early tech that is still being developed and experimented on.

I'm not telling you to "write off" anything, what does that even mean? If you want to close all your bank accounts and meet up with people in the streets to trade cryptocurrency tokens in order to manage typical financial obligations then that is your prerogative; it doesn't mean that such a lifestyle has any appreciable impact on the existence of centralized institutions.

Electron is an implementation detail of native apps you install on your PC.

Flash was a browser plugin allowed to run by default.

How are they even REMOTELY similar?!
Some reasons off the top of my head:

1) Local servers are a no-go for multiuser environments unless you want to log-on every time you run your "native" app, as most (all?) browsers don't support http over domain sockets and there is no authentication for local sockets.

2) Managing the health of the service properly in a cross-platform manner is complicated. With electron if the app crashes, it just crashes. With a local server the browser tab just stops working. Sure technical users can figure it out, but if you are targeting a gui over a console, presumably you are trying to capture some fraction of non-technical users.

I disagree - they're not a booking agent, they're a marketplace. They don't charge a flat fee for a booking - they take a substantial ongoing cut for the full term of a reservation, even if it's multiple payments over multiple months. They take on more risk than a booking agent and increase their cut proportionally.

This sounds like a great idea. It might be more confusing to people who don’t use computers as much, because interacting with your local computer over the web might feel strange, but there’s also the requirement to have a true native component acting as the server. Electron allows for zero truly native code to be written by the developer, which can help deal with inconsistencies between operating systems and configurations.

We didn't spend too much time on the specific of our choice, because we chose to make something more widely usable (this is how radix trees work) than the specific product evolution we did. That being said, we probably were a bit light on details.

Going with an hash map was an option, but we feared the ballooning memory footprint when a large number of IPs is blocked, performance outliers (if you're unlucky enough for a lot of blocked IPs/ranges to end up in the same bucket) and we wanted the solution to work as well with IPv6 (where checking each bit takes a bit longer).
As for using existing optimal constant time membership tests, we couldn't go with too complex algorithms because we would have to reimplement them and maintain them in each of our agent's language. Radix trees were attractive in this regard because this is a widely available data structure and when it's not, it's fairly easy to implement from scratch.

As for range blocking, it's actually very simple: we block the network IP and tag the node as "range". This way, when in the process of looking up an IP we hit a range node, we know we don't have to look any farther. This has the downside of preventing us from processing differently specific parts of the range but it's not a problem in our architecture.

Path compression lets you save on nodes, which is good for memory and make looking up an IP faster (because you have to go through fewer nodes before hitting a leaf or a divergence). Fixed length makes using bit mask to compare a value to the node simpler and take care of alignment issues, but we could do without it if we had to.

Seconded to the max. Being able to finish things is a more important ability than being able to do things perfectly.

I am in support of legalized gambling but the way it is done in states like Illinois and New York (my state) just preys on problem gamblers and is indeed a money grab by the state.

The arguments for making gambling illegal or restricted in these states are all nullified by the state running them. They offer games with bad odds, in poor facilities. New York sued daily fantasy sites saying it is "dangerous and addictive" but then reeled that all back once they agreed to get a cut of the action.
The difference is generally not understood on a lot people. Its freedom, not price.

The problem they were solving had to do with blocking 10,000 IP addresses. This would require maybe 100kb in a hash table, so memory requirements probably aren't the issue.

Personally, I think this should be coupled with teaching `git reflog` as the universal undo (as long as they don't `gc`).

It's a usability thing. If users expect a desktop app and you ship a server + browser tab, it makes for a very confusing experience. In fact, the concept of having local servers is alien to most people. To them, browser == internet and desktop icon == local application. In addition, there are technical problems too, e.g: what if there's a crash?
It can be a fine line.

I guess I should clarify. Responses below are right, it's not hard to believe that there are people without savings, I've also been in that boat.

But this portion has nothing to do with the point of the post; given the outrageous nature of the post in the first place, this smells to me like a sob element to hook more people in.

Every part of the post is hyperbolic. "I blew every question and I could tell that they didn't like me personally." Really, every single one? Oh, and now they decide they don't like you even though you've gotten to the stage where they flew you across the country??

Laying everything on this thick just doesn't increase credibility for me. It makes me suspicious.
There is no real problem of running the application on a local web-server. However, you might not even need a server. In fact, modern browsers are able to run apps even without servers.

So you might consider developing an app with vue/react/... and build it in a way to run independently from the server. The simplest way to do that is to cache it with a Manifest file, but modern browsers support ServiceWorkers too, which are a lot more powerful.

The only thing you will need a server for is the deployment (and maybe some sharing/sync logic).
Java swing!

But having worked with that for a decade - I have to agree with you. If you work for customers (as opposed to in-house software), it makes much more sense to use the web technologies for that.

We use Go for the backend though, so you can use a "real language" on the backend.

I do have some hopes for Go on the frontend as well with webassembly. :)

Both of those exist because regulators forced them to. The suggestion here, apparently, is that Airbnb should just do it out of the kindness of their heart. If the government wants more oversight, regulate them.

Reduce the payroll tax, and, what then? Same amount of money coming in, same going out on salaries, less going out on payroll tax. Now the business has options. It can buy more stuff; it can employ more people at similar salaries; it can give the owners more money.

But the argument being made appeared to be that it will give its existing employees pay rises, to each one in line with how much payroll tax it was paying for each of them previously - but this just strikes me as a bit unlikely.
Another way to refer to retrospectives would be as "Process Kaizen" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen), or "PDCA" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDCA). Both can be used to continuously improve pretty much anything.
Also, the bottom line is that these sorts of "solutions" are just a way to increase the pool of discretionary spending funds. Dedicated revenue sources almost always seem like a way for the state to pass an unpalatable vice product (legalized pot or gambling being two big ones recently) to the citizens. "Hey, you're going to have people gambling in your back yard, but it's for the kids! Please don't notice that while the gambling generates an extra X million, we also cut X million from the general fund allocation to the same expense"

TL;dr- I'm fine with this stuff being legalized, but this helps demonstrate the possible backfiring with the feel good optics often tied to this sort of thing.
I got a ticket for running a light in Chicago, but because I was from out of state, it took them 'extra long' to send me the ticket in the mail (their words when I called). By the time they had mailed me the ticket, the deadline to pay had already passed and the fine had doubled.

Why would it be bad to pick up a hobby that doesn't pay? I'd love for an explosion of art and philosophy to occur out of UBI.
Some investors have decided that the best returns come from companies that have CEO's/leaders that run them like sole proprietorships. This works best when the CEO is actually the founder of the company. Investors with this philosophy would like to have that person have majority ownership of the company, but this rarely (never?) financially possible. Some companies have stock step ups that let the founder(s) keep voting control even though they don't have the majority of the stock. Google, Facebook, and Snap are some companies like this.

Other very successful companies that have/had a single person that basically runs the whole place as their own company are Berkshire Hathaway, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon. The top five American companies by market cap are of this type. I would not say the this is such a bad thing as these people are looking out for the companies long term future. Compare HP before and after the founders left. Hewitt and Packard would not have focused the company around the evil idea building disposable printers that lock people into overpriced ink purchases. If society needs these huge corporations (maybe we would better of with out them?), I would much rather they be run by a single human than be a soulless bureaucracy with a figurehead at the top.

If Neumann fully owned WeWork, it would not be corrupt self enrichment to own the properties, just vertical integration. If the investors want them to work this way, is it really corrupt? I wouldn't think so.
There aren't any laws here for Airbnb to comply with. That's my point: the regulations are on the hosts. If the Government wants to regulate Airbnb, they need to pass legislation that requires Airbnb to do something. Exactly as they did with YouTube via DMCA.
The trouble is that, if you use any buyer protections available to you outside of the platform, you risk being banned for life. That to me seems unfair.

For your case where they wanted evidence - what would have happened if you had no evidence, and ended up issuing a chargeback for "Services not provided? You would have been in the right, but probably would have been banned for life from Airbnb's system. The lack of competition and monopolistic nature makes this seem hostile to consumers.
