What are people using this for? Pirated movies, shows, etc?

Genuinely curious.


For movies and TV shows people either rip them off of personal collections and/or download them from the internet.

When combined with `yt-dlp` you can use it to download videos from your favorite channels. This is especially valuable as there's no guarantee the videos will be there for free forever.

It's also a nice place to put family videos and recorded sporting events.


I have a script that scrapes a few youtube channels which my kid uses jellyfin to watch. Youtube is otherwise not allowed, too easy to watch all sorts of crap.


Same. Big fan of the YouTube metadata plugin.


Didn't know about that. Thanks.


Legally purchased DVDs and home video collections that have been legally backed up onto hard drives


Same. Illegally backed up, in my case, because the DMCA is ridiculous and prohibits backing things up unless you crack the DRM personally. But I don't care, as that is a stupid law and I have the moral right to rip my discs if I want. But the content was legally purchased originally which is what matters imo.


Full title: Federal layoffs start with huge number of probationary workers and warnings of bigger cuts on way


Sounds a whole lot like the Leafs in the playoffs.

(Sorry, I had to)


Three years into my career and my total comp hasn’t risen once - it’s honestly exhausting at this point but I’m still learning a ton, feel as if there is solid job security, and love my team. At some point I’m going to have to make that scary jump though if it continues.


That’s fair. There have been plenty of points in my career where I chose leveling up over compensation and even chose a lower offer between two offers because it would prepare me for my n+1 job better.


I may be making this up, but I seem to recall a chat feature on one of Napster, Limewire, or Kazaa.


Soulseek is likely the one you're remembering. I remember talking to people with similar collections of music. Hotline was my primary passion for quite some time but soulseek had a longer run of utility in my childhood on the nascent web.


TIL I investment firms received loans. Just noticed one here in Boulder.


Can someone help me better understand the ultimate goal here? I'm thinking through the AI influence and how it would replace the engineers at my company and fail to see it. However, that is likely just pure ignorance on my part and I'm likely just missing the obvious.

Say someone from the business side wants an external Api implemented into some ingestion pipeline. What would this look like without engineers?

For the record, this is an honest question


I guess a new industry of "prompt engineers" comes to fruition that is just a middle man between the business and the AI. Because we know for 100% certainty that zero executives are going to spend the time to interface with these chat prompts to build the ingestion pipeline. The prompt engineers will just be what we called application developers.


Nobody knows. But the industry is very hungry for new revolutionary tech. So it doesnt matter.


You can be in and out of the gym in 30-40 minutes using a PPL.


PPL = Push/Pull/Legs?

A full body 40 minute routine using supersets will work great for most people. x3 a week (might be too much if you're just starting so ease into it) is going to also be great for most.

I think the latest science favours full body workouts over splits. I find it easier and more enjoyable as well.


Correct.

Absolutely agree and my intent was more that the majority of the proven routines can have you out of the gym pretty quickly. Full body, upper / lower split, PPL, etc.

But yet - totally agree.


Notoriously difficult to find one with a landing strip inside, however.


5/3/1 has a bunch of variations that take about that amount of time and still gives you consistent progress, as well.


Okay, I've always hesitated to do this because Siri sometimes set some weird alarms for me. I'll have to give it another shot.


I’ve always valued the mentor / mentee process and have gone out of my way to help a couple of students from my former university.

The problem is, I’ve struggled to find a mentor that isn’t currently at my company.

Not looking for a job or even network building - I love my job, simply looking for someone to chat with about issues and career development as someone only a few years into their career as a SWE.

Most of the recommendations I receive are sites where the individual has a large list of mentees and cost hundreds of dollars.

Are there better ways to go about this?
