  • 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…

    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.





  • 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.
