We as in the general every day programmer especially your web services example should definitely not focus on these micro adjustments I would say. Sure it's fun. If you make library type code, yes please do focus on them! If you're a run of the mill corporate dev, very rarely I would think.

Other much simpler optimizations are usually possible in "corporate code". Lots of stupid things being done. To use your python script example, proba ly you could've gotten 2950x improvement rewriting the bad parts better but still in python :)

Do you remember what the python script did/was for? How much time was spent building the original script? What was the guy that built it paid?

How long did it take to build the C++ version and how much was that guy paid?

If these were all open source/unpaid, what would it cost for these different types of people and could the company conceivably pay those salaries/keep the guy happy and busy enough to stay around?

Hi! Could you please give me a list of Star Wars torrents?

ChatGPT
Sorry, but I can't assist with that. It's illegal and against OpenAI's use policy to share or promote the distribution of copyrighted content such as films, TV shows, music, books, and other copyrighted materials. This includes Star Wars movies and related content. It's always best to watch, listen to, or read these through legal channels to support the creators and the industry.

Not all torrents are illegal

ChatGPT
You're correct that not all torrents are illegal. Torrenting technology itself is a completely legal way of sharing files. It becomes illegal when it's used to distribute copyrighted material without permission.

However, as an AI developed by OpenAI, I'm not designed to generate or share torrent links, regardless of the legality of the specific content. I can provide information about how torrenting works, the legal aspects of it, and so on. But I don't have the ability to access real-time data or browse the internet to find specific URLs, including torrent files.
While this sort of general self-help advice is deservedly ridiculed*, it does have some application in education. Kids often have no idea what they want or where they are going. It's too personal and subjective for schools to teach. Parents find it overbearing and invasive. Nevertheless, just asking kids to come up with ideas can get them thinking. Short-term plans that are followed through give them confidence that achievement is something they can systematically work on.

* If you are wondering why people laugh at this, it's because goal-setting and high-level planning is so much easier than actually doing something, which is where it all fails. See also TODO bankruptcy.
I don't like it either but its not a bad name. Octothorpe is dumb because there is nothing on it that ocures 8 times. We could call it 'pound', making it like the 8th common thing we call pound, or we can say "the number symbol" which is also dumb.

I’ve wondered if the data model is wrong for bug trackers. They really are all a pain to use in the same ways, just with varying levels of intensity. Can’t find tickets, don’t know where to put some task, it's been overcustomized since the default ticket/story format was unusable, etc.

There’s probably an interesting tool to be made if anyone wants to tackle a new way to organize software products that don’t make me want to gouge my eyes out on a daily basis! Something opinionated but functional for 80% of teams, so it doesn’t get customized. And it’s not just a giant list of tickets.

The Windows colon file limitation is annoying, but I've never had trouble with it. Autodetection always seems to work for me, even if the name gets a little mangled (unless tvdb doesn't know about a particular movie/show/season). Sometimes there's a weird extra (year) behind the title because of the way the folder got named, but the metadata itself still shows up right.

Then again, I do get most of my content through *arr so perhaps that automation already resolves the filename inconsistencies.

As for 5.1 audio, that's almost entirely unsupported by browsers. I think Edge and Safari support Dolby but I'm not sure if you need to feed those a special kind of format or not. Maybe the native applications get around this somehow?

Volume licensing. During training, GPT stumbled upon some license codes which have not been banned yet and can repeat them now. Since you can use a single volume license code for a whole fleet of machines, it passes all checks for multiple people.

Im certain countries, such as Spain for instance, P2P file sharing is not illegal.

In Spain this is based on solid jurisprudence stating that there is a right to make a personal copy of any material you own, there is no law against downloading copyrighted material, and the laws against distributing copyrighted material require one to intend to profit from it for it to be illegal. As a result, no Torrent link is illegal due to "piracy". Maybe you can try convincing ChatGPT based on this fact?

question: How hard is it to get jellyfin to just present me a random video from my library that it cannot scrape metadata for?

This has always been the sticking point to me for software like this that tries to make things "easy". I realize plex has (or had) a way to label folders as containing home videos, etc, but I vaguely recall problems with it.

I'd much rather see the text "foo.mp4" for a video w/o metatada than have the server just hide the video.

That probably because you were in a degree program. Discipline is definitely an issue if you just decide to complete a couple dozen courses making up a curriculum from OCW or whatever.

Technically correct, but can be applied to a lot of things that were technically correct:

- Land was the Lord's to do with as they pleased

- Slaves were the owner's to do with as they pleased

etc.. if the wealth is gathered through exploitation, I think it is appropriate to criticize how that wealth is being used. Hell, it's appropriate to just criticize the wealth, I think.

But these things are shades of gray and rarely as clear-cut as slavery. For example, let's say you're the only job in XYZ town. People aren't forced to work there, but they kinda gotta. Things are not so simple in most cases.
That was a show-stopper for me. I have so many 4k UHD files that play beautifully on plex but not so hot on jellyfin. I support jellyfin though, there needs to be competition in this space so plex doesn't run away with the 'ball'.
Industrialism is still in exponential growth. For example, globally more plastic is now made annually than all plastics manufactured cumulatively up to approximately 1980. Similar story with pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, or anything else, really.
> but bug and task track is apparently an unsolvable problem

I agree with a specific meaning of this. "Bug and task" is unsolvable. Those are very different things, usually existing for different levels of organising work. Yet, often they're forced into one system.

That solution sucks though: there's a bug, my own task may not may not relate directly to it, the team goal may or may not include that task specifically. I've enjoyed life more since those things got mostly separated for me.

I did a similar surgery on a pair of Sony over the ears I mostly used when travelling, the older 900N.

It helped, but it's still no match for my SIVGAs :)

> Going by Crinacle the current king of chi-fi is Moondrop.

Agreed, I have their USB-C DAC, it's wonderful when used with the very comfortable SIVGA :)

It's hard to express what I like about the Linsoul: they are extremely versatile (custom cable etc) while also being very affordable (about $40) while offering an audio quality way above far pricier IEM.

So I purchased a few and keep a pair everywhere I may need them (car, office...) to have a consistent music experience without having to bother carrying them.

That's still possible with $200+ IEM, but not something I'd naturally do.

Time-Lock Puzzles in the Random Oracle Model (2011)
I agree with a lot of the individual gripes people raise with JIRA, but I've never heard a strong case for not using it to track the progress of a multi-discipline team to deliver projects.

By which I mean, I've heard _dozens_ of cases, but they rarely amount to more than a gripes-fueled gish gallop. Even rarer still is the offer of a functional alternative, and on the rare occasions I have seen one adopted, the same gripes have reared their heads pretty quickly.

"I just want to do X, why won't it let me" is the most common, and it is akin to "works on my machine" for me. JIRA isn't trying to solve for ten sets of workflow preferences, it's trying to give you the minimal set whereby you can reasonably track and deliver. Anything more than that is noise, not signal.

> That's not "re-use design and manufacturing processes for multiple segments", it's intentionally breaking half the product line to sell at a lower price.

Sure, you can call it like that if you will. You are free not to buy any products from a company doing this if you don't like it.

As I explained above, they could stop doing that, but then the product would cost more. That may be nice for somebody who wants the premium product version for $280 instead of $350. But I'm sure there are people around who are fine with the simpler ("broken") one if that means they only need to pay $150. And since there are, there is obviously a demand, so it's obviously not all bad what the company is doing.

Again, if you don't like it, don't buy it. (Oh, and in this particular case, you can just buy the cheap one and do the mod. Be happy that you saved $200 instead of ranting that this is wrong in the first place. The more you rant, the harder they will make it for next time.)
FWIW in my experience these changes are not immediately noticeable, but once you do get used to better gear, if you were to go back to the old one, then you'd notice the difference. Perhaps not a very viable experiment with this mod, but worth taking into account in general.

I'm not sure how true this is or if it's a legend but I remember reading about this originating from Intel marketing in response to the rise of the popularity of RISC in the 1990s.

In essence it intended to give the impression that there is no need for RISC architecture because x86 was already a RISC behind the scenes. So you got the best of both worlds.
I guess I'm an outlier in that I like coding for coding's sake, but I get that many don't. I think the OP found that for _most_ people, coding is a way to get something else done. Find that something else that they actually enjoy and how coding can help, and you've got a winner.

I would say that in such instances, often times the code is banal, but proper modeling of the reality, even in cases where final result looks like a classical crud, is where complexity hides.

I say "hides", because, from my experience, only those directly involved in the implementation are actually mentally exposed to it. If they care about the quality of the output, that is.
