Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.

Lots of modern cars have electric power steering. Many of them have lane keep assist.

Exactly. A 10% decrease in run time for a method is a small optimization most of the time, but whether or not it’s premature depends on whether the optimization has other consequences. Maybe you lose functionality in some edge cases, or maybe it’s actually 10x slower in some edge case. Maybe what you thought was a bit faster, is actually slower in most cases. That’s why you measure when you’re optimizing.

Maybe you took 3 hours of profiling and made a loop 10% faster but you could have trivially rewritten it to run log n times instead of n times…

Seen plenty of comments on reddit who have used the GI bill to get an education they otherwise couldn’t afford and then a decent career that has nothing to do with shooting people. That’s what the smarter ones do, anyway.

You’d need an operating system that uses it. It’s going to be at least as difficult as flashing a custom rom, but likely even more so, as there might not be a ready-made build. Definitely something to experiment with on a secondary phone. PostmarketOS is your best bet, here are others that support Plasma Mobile.

Income and viewers are the same egg. You can put up sponsor segments but they’re no good if nobody is watching.

The founder of SimpleX unfortunately seems to be full MAGA. I don’t want to touch that project with a 3 meter pole.

Matrix isn’t doing too well either. Might be time to start a completely new project.

That does sound like it would help.

I mean that’s true but I don’t think that’s part of the chicken and egg cycle, as you can improve UX before getting users too

It’s a chicken and egg issue for sure, but I think you’ve got the wrong egg.

Nobody will create content on a platform with few viewers. Nobody will be a viewer on a platform with few content creators.

Yes. But it used to be free to watch remotely. It’s 99% your own hardware doing everything. Their services get used for discovery, not as proxies for the connection itself, AFAIK.

You already had to pay them to allow transcoding with your own GPU, etc.

Right now it’s still not too bad, but just watch, enshittification will affect paid users too. For one, I expect the lifetime pass to go away, and go away retroactively eventually.

One of the top tech companies in my country mandated a return to office because the boss couldn’t stand that people were working from Bali instead of chatting with him at the office coffee machines in the cold Estonian winter.

Friend who works there says it’s up to the team leads and few want to enforce it and risk losing people. But the CEO got his article in the newspapers saying software engineers are all lazy entitled pieces of shit, which was his real goal. He hates paying people, but the company only gets top talent because of their salaries. Nobody goes there for “innovation” anymore now that it’s an established company.

Looks like someone left their debug code in.

this is also a setting on both Android and iOS, with Android displaying the option to change access pretty much every time you pick out a file.

For photos at the very least, it’s the same on iOS. Haven’t tested with files. But anytime I needed to send people photos over FB Messenger, I’d add access to that one specific photo and nothing more. Until I got tired of it and added all photos. Oh well.
