TBM 377: Time Allocation ≠ Capacity Allocation

news.ycombinator.com John Cutler 2025-09-15 23:26:43

Before we jump in: September Conferences! I’m heading to Enterprise Tech Leadership Summit in Las Vegas: September 23–25, 2025. I’m a huge fan of Gene Kim’s work and the community he has created. Dotwork is sponsoring, so I’ll be “working the booth.” Drop by if you’re around. I’ll also be in Cleveland next week (9th and 10th) for Industry. Would love to meet people in person. Lately, I’ve been researching the mental models, mechanisms, and reporting practices behind ‘capacity’ allocation. At

In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server. After the typical timeout around 30 mins the system goes to sleep which drops the session and forces

YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers

news.ycombinator.com Ben Schoon 2025-09-23 20:29:10

Over the past month or so, many YouTubers have been reporting major drops to their video view counts. Theories have run wild, but there’s one explanation involving ad blockers that makes the most sense, but YouTube isn’t confirming anything directly. Since mid-August, many YouTubers have noticed their view counts are considerably lower than they were before, in some cases with very drastic drops. The reason for the drop, though, has been shrouded in mystery for many creators. The most likely e
