> Since filming, editing, and streaming videos already consumes users' storage and bandwidth resources anyway, the total amount of resources available to a P2P torrent-style network clearly is already in the ballpark of what's needed for YouTube.

I doubt it because a lot of this content doesn't exist outside of Youtube and because the content does exist on external drives has not internet connectivity or capacity to get it.

"To whom? For my sanity and productivity that's the most important at least."

Optimizing for you vs the team is often not the goal.

"This is when I provide most actual value and also get most enjoyment out of work myself."

In most companies, it's much more valuable to have a team productive than a single individual, even if it comes at a cost to the individuals.

IE Assume a team of 10, and that working like you suggest provides 1.5x productivity for you, but you working like this cost 0.15x to each other person on the team because you are slower at responding, etc.
If it had no effect on anyone else that would be super weird (it would mean nobody depended on anyone, etc. Basically that being a team didn't matter).

Let's assume when you don't work like this, it cost nobody else anything, but is really crappy for you (0.6x)

With you working like this, team productivity is 1.5x+(9*0.85x)= 9.15x.
Without you working like this, team productivity is 0.6x + 9x = 9.6x.

Obviously it's different at different numbers and tradeoffs, but optimizing for individual productivity, when it costs things for teams, can often end up a net loss. Not always of course.

You can argue it costs nobody else anything but i think that would honestly be a silly argument. We should admit there are positives and negatives to the tradeoffs here, and sometimes the aggregate works out and sometimes it doesn't.
Thanks!

I'm not a fan of this inexact and incorrect language.

"Rerouted" means that the route was changed, not that the trajectory was changed. The route was planned before launch, and that hasn't changed. The headline makes it seem like there was an unplanned change.

The mandatory minimums? Got a source of the mandatory minimum for cars (US and/or EU) as well as power walls?

The fact that other car makers aren't competing on warranty length seems to me to prove my point, but you seem to think it doesn't? What I mean is: if battery degradation for cars isn't that bad after 8 years, then why are other brands not offering significantly longer warranties to compete with the Tesla one?
Not sure about the competition argument anyway, since Tesla didn't have any competition initially and arguably still doesn't have real competition (depending on what features of the car you value most).

Edit: Does my MacBook Pro die after 1 year when it's applecare warranty is over? --> Pretty close yes IMO. My personal experience is that my laptop and phone battery capacities degrade very fast after 1 year and need to be replace after about 2 years, 3 years if you really really push it and are OK with constantly charging.
Yes, of course, the whole planet is polluted. But I read that 80% of microplastics pollution comes from tires. If you can get away from the cities, you can almost be free from the majority of pollution.
Other than very small engines most snowblowers and mowers are 4 stroke engines.

My X11 window manager is pure Ruby: https://github.com/vidarh/rubywm
That was posted to HN a while back. It's a minimalist tiling wm.

My file manager is (very simplistic, I do most of my actual file management from the shell - it's in effect mostly a desktop launcher) Ruby

It, as well as my desktop switcher (also Ruby) depends on pure Ruby X11 bindings, and a pure Ruby TrueType font renderer:

https://github.com/vidarh/skrift
https://github.com/vidarh/skrift-x11
https://github.com/vidarh/ruby-x11

So does my Ruby terminal (what's on Github is nothing like the full version, which I will package up and push one of these days).

My editor is also pure Ruby, using Rouge (Ruby; not mine) for syntax highlighting. That also needs a major update on Github - what's there probably won't even run for others because my personal "ecosystem" on my system is full of helpers and these things are written to be as minimalist as possible so e.g. my editors "file open" dialog is a 2-3 line wrapper around dmenu.

And I've just replaced my shell with Ruby - but that's just for interactive use, so it's very tiny.
You're right if you're aiming to make a 16th century pocket watch. Anything approaching a modern wristwatch calibre is much more time and money intensive.

The majority of the cost will be time and effort. I think George Daniels estimates it to be 3000 hours for a skilled amateur to make the tourbillion pocket watch described in his book. This number will be decreased if you forego the tourbillion. But even so, other equipment costs: jewelling press, staking set, poising tools, depthing tool, all kinds of abrasives, oils and greases. The largest tool cost will be lathe attachments like collets, cross slide, milling attachment, wheel and pinion cutters. You may be able to cut wheels and pinions on the pantograph but probably not to the precision needed for a wristwatch, maybe for a large pocket watch or clock. Maybe you could put the lathe on the milling table to index the stock and use the mill to cut?

That's not counting all the theory needed to design and build a movement from scratch.

My advice would be to steal the going train, escapement and balance from an existing movement and fabricate the remaining parts

> German Navy blasts out Darth Vader theme on Thames
Londoners spotted this ship on the Thames near Tower Bridge, playing the iconic Imperial March theme from the Star Wars trilogies, otherwise recognisable as the Darth Vader music.
But it wasn’t coming from a galaxy far, far away - it was a German Navy ship, in London for training and a supply stop.
A spokesperson from the German Navy told the BBC the music had "no deeper message" and "the commander can choose the music freely".

I dabbled in writing scripts for TradingView a while ago. It is a little rough but also fun to be able to add your own stuff to the platform. I actually pay for Scott Carney's harmonic trading software for trading view. As much as you are posting words of warning, it kinda makes me want to take another stab at it. :)

One startup I made, that actually gained some traction, turned into a struggle for me as well. I made a site to share and find tutorials for the new Swift programming language. I released the first version the day after Swift came out and it was actually getting used all over the world even. I expanded the platform a bit and I had a number of tutorial creators regularly cross posting their stuff on my site but ultimately, I myself did not jump into learning Swift and I just didn't have the continued drive to keep working on it.

It is funny because this Swift project was probably the startup I was the least passionate about building but it really was the only one that has ever garnered any real traction. Some of my take aways from it are how important timing is and that I get very enamored with the initial building phase but as you talked about in your writeup, the amount of work _after_ launch dwarfs that initial rush.
Using herbal natural remedy was what got me tested negative to HSV 2 after being diagnosed for years. I have spent so much funds on medications like acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex). But it was all a waste of time and my symptoms got worse. To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, why keep making humans suffer greatly just to get profits annually for medications that don't work. I'm glad that herbal remedies are gaining so much awareness and many people are getting off medications and activating their entire body system with natural herbal remedies and they have become holistically healed totally, It’s also crucial to learn as much as you can about your diagnosis.

How is this personal? I have no idea who the person is... I'm commenting on something they wrote, not on something they are.

If a person in a home-cooking forum advises someone to use a butter knife to slice tomatoes, it's highly appropriate to tell them they are incompetent and shouldn't be advising anyone. This post is exactly the same: an absurd advise that can only be explained by either an honest mistake or incompetence.

At some level in industry you have at least the potential to have the paradox of choice. Of course, some people are perfectly happy and successful with roles that are essentially the same in the fundamentals from one company to the next. But others largely reinvent themselves with each new role both between different companies and even within the same one. That really isn't an option in academia.

>I still remember first hearing about Rust and how it was using Green Threads, [...] I never did look up why they gave up on Green threads

It's because green threads have unavoidable performance costs. I collected various threads that has Rust contributors explaining the costs they didn't want to pay:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39062953

A language like Go is willing to pay those performance costs because they deliberately sit at a higher level of abstraction than lower-level Rust.

Each chose different tradeoffs for different goals:

- Golang : green threads worth the perf cost to gain higher productivity (goroutines, channels, etc) for the type of programs that Go programmers like to write

- Rust : green threads are not worth the perf cost so as to not sacrifice the best possible performance for the type of programs Rust programmers like to write

You can't have a language+runtime that satisfies both camps 100% perfectly. The language designer must choose the tradeoff. But because this tradeoff decision is not blatantly well-known and disseminated ... it also perpetually confuses Language X proponents on why Language Y didn't do the same thing as Language X.

Very unlikely that a half page proof of P!=NP is correct.

Please provide a formalization of your argument in any widely-used theorem prover (I'd recommend Lean) configured with options widely accepted to be sound.

BTW, the argument seems trivially bullshit because you say that L is in NP, and then claim that L is not P because "there exists no algorithm that...", but if L is in NP there is of course an exponential-time algorithm for L.
Agreed, as much as there are complaints about usability of async in Rust, many alternatives proposed would fail in resource constrained systems. Green threading would be impossible or very limiting on embedded, where each stack eats away at something like 1-2% of memory and allocation is likely impossible or prohibitively expensive.

I do note that some of the futures are starting to take up a couple KiB of RAM and ROM.

No, it's not. From the link I posted (in Dutch unfortunately, I'll translate the relevant bit):

Small integrated battery:

3.5 kWh
Starting at about € 2.100,-

You yourself indicated in your post that integrated batteries (as in: the ones with battery management, that you can actually use to store energy in as opposed to a bunch of lose cells) are more expensive. They are more expensive indeed. I did the calculation. They boil down to 0,12 EUR / kWh in the example above.

The price of cells is not directly relevant, since you can't actually buy cells and just throw them at your house to magically start charging/discharging when you desire.

You should never use requirements.txt, nor pyproject.toml and this has nothing to do with whether you put multiple projects into the same repository or not. This is just an all-around bad idea.

But, anyways. In a monorepo project you would have nothing to do with requirements.txt or pyproject.toml because all dependencies are already there. There's no need to install anything from anywhere...

I think the desire to insult comes from the unwillingness to take responsibility for one's own reactions. If I'm upset, I want it to be your fault. I want you to be in the wrong. I don't want to admit that I'm responsible for my reactions even when you are doing something wrong. It's much harder work to master myself than to complain that you haven't mastered yours.

I know someone who has resorted to, "This displeases me," as his condemnation of choice to combat this tendency, to keep right in front of himself the reality of the situation, that he doesn't like something, but his displeasure is his responsibility.

I think that recognition has to happen to make space for a response to the situation, rather than a reaction to it. Does my displeasure motivate me to take action? If so, what kind? Are other people pleased by the situation? Can I see it their way? Is their response measured, or reactionary?

It buys time, and inserting a beat between the event and the response makes all the difference.
