It was incredibly easy to get upload credit for seeding freeleech torrents (which included 10-20 albums of staff picks once a month or so) or re-encoding releases that were missing v2 or 320 encodings and scripts would pick up the releases. You could also just watch for new releases or follow trends and you'd easily get 5-10x ratio seeds. Also, you can get a $5/m seedbox to keep your downloads alive and you'd easy get back to 1.0 ratio assuming it wasn't some truly unlistenable album. I had a ratio of like 15 or something on what by leaving my computer on. At no point was it impossible or even difficult to get upload credit on any of these websites unless you were just leeching/turning off uploads. I just pulled up a larger site and I have 15 TB up, 1.15 TB down, and I'm doing absolutely nothing besides downloading stuff and deleting the torrents once I need space.

Can’t wait to read the posts on moltbook from the AIs who had the poor luck of working in Xcode.

And Python failed at that decades ago. People push terribly complicated, unreadable code under the guise of Pythonic. I disagree with using Pythonic as reasoning for anything.

They have their own app. It’s pretty minimal but it does save your spot.

This is a great command everyone should know. We once had a long running database query that was blocking a pipeline (code was written in a week and of course became integral to operations). Ran it, 15 minutes of thinking, added a new index on an now important column, and cut the run time down from almost 30 minutes to 5 seconds.

Definitely a little more ergonomic than type box, imo, but at the end of the day they’re very similar. I use typebox mostly because there is terrible zod support for Fastify. Both are great libs!

You can do Non-Union OSS as a US company as well. I’d say the most annoying thing about the EU is their minimum transaction to start filing is very low compared to US Nexus rules.

I’m not sure if I’m in the minority here but Matlab levels of tooling is an insult. Their guides were always two or three steps before being useful. Just enough to make you think whatever they were selling would solve your problems but never enough when really building a solution.

I'm about to start the leet code grind for interviews coming up and I'll give this a shot. I found your feedback form on your website but would be nice to post it in your post here as well. Cheers.

I haven’t thought about this before but is this why drug names are so semi random? I always through the fake names were trying to invoke some similar idea to their name but is it basically just for SEO type purposes?

Beautifully put. Many metrics suffer from the glass half full vs half empty, perspective! They're just numbers at the end of the day. The important part is how you let them inform you. It is so easy to have the number goes up === good mentality, but many metrics hide the subjective and or collective truth. People need to take metrics in aggregate. Not everything is a race, not every number is important and many metrics are poor indicators for what you really want to measure.

This is awesome! I would love a GeoGuessr style gameplay element and watch my design friends compete over a couple of beers!

For me it’s mostly how slow some people talk. This is especially true for some content when I can understand it at a higher speed, for example Dota replays. I feel like I’ll get more out of the time watching two in the same when I can understand 95% of the nuance. I also have ADHD so wanting it to be faster could easily be part of that.

Thats ironic to hear since every issue I've had with apple products over the last few years were only fixed due to class action lawsuits. Damn the Butterfly keyboards to hell.
