That says nothing about system bandwidth: if normally they would approve 10 drugs in N months, but now they threw all available resources on one project to get N/10, it would make sense.
if you look closely, those usually on-set people, medics, drivers, catering services - those who have unions. VFX companies in most of the cases have a dozen of entries out of hundreds who actually worked on the title, or just a single line company mention. I could understand this practice in cellulose era, but saving a few megabytes at the cost of disrespect to your workers is simply despicable.
It's not quite that bad, the vast majority of people who work on a Marvel project at a vfx vendor will get a credit, though often in a huge bank of names. It's true that the ordering is driven by historical considerations which is why vfx credits typically aren't that high.
I think the issue with credits is nothing to do with the storage, it's to do with the impact of the run time of the film.
Marvel made their fans watching all credits because of a teaser of a next movie at the very end, so I did it a few times: it actually feels like VFX is consuming now the biggest part of the credits with several production units and at least a few hundred people.
I observe there's about 37% overhead when using TS connection on a local gigabit network.
Copying large file from Synology DS1821+ NAS (Amd Ryzen V1500B) to Windows PC (i7-6700K)
is about 111-113 MB/s when accessing NAS directly and 70-73 MB/s when traffic goes through TS
(different large files, so no caching here).
My back of the napkin math says there should be a 40 byte overhead for wireguard around tailscale 1280 byte packets. That's only about a 3% overhead on the direct wire. What is your testing methodology so I can attempt to replicate it in the lab?
I meant overhead in a broad sense - both packet size and CPU load combined - what end user actually care about.
My test is what I have to do fairly often: use Windows Explorer to copy 70-100gb file
from a network NAS to a local drive. Every so often I click on the wrong network share
pinned in the Explorer and see slow transfer speed.
Hi Adam! I really enjoy listening to your podcast, but if I may I have some feedback:
* Every time your guest specializes on something low-level - like Rebecca Heineman from most recent
episode, David Shayer from last year, and others - you keep saying "yeah, this is a very complicated
subject and I don't understand anything about it". Everyone has they own area of expertise, no one
knows everything - and that's OK. But when you as a host constantly put yourself down, it leaves
a very strange impression on the listener: "well then, invite someone who does".
* When you do a voice over for the interview and queue interviewee responses - the whole sequence feels
doctored. It just doesn't sound as a normal conversation, more like out of context clips forced into
pre-made narrative. Again, I'm not saying it _is_ out of context, it just feels that way.
Please don't take these two the wrong way, you're doing great job.
Also, I would love to support the show and you seem to have a Patreon account, but prices there
are a bit too steep for a casual listener: $6/14.50/36 per month (that's in Canadian dollars).
For example, semi-weekly Darknet Diaries has $3/7.50/14.50 tiers.
In the last episode you've announced bonus content with Rebecca, but there's not even an announcement
on the Patreon page and it's not clear what tier would allow access to it.
Sorry for the rant, but I hope it provides outside perspective and you might find it useful.
Thanks for listening. The podcast being narrative, I've gotten complaints about the before, but my feelig is there are so many straight interview podcasts out there. If you don't like the narration then there are lots of other alternatives.
Now, it could be that I'm bad at narration. That could totally be true and probably I could improve, but it's a narrative podcast.
All content is available to all patreons. Rebecca bonus episode is not out yet. I should post more details and explanation about how that works but bonus episodes episodes come out on the 15th.
Me not knowing low level stuff is true, so im not sure about that feedback. To me I think admission of my lack of knowledge in an area is good and I'd like to talk about the things I don't know or my vulnerabilities more often.
Again, maybe I do it badly, but I think its good to be ok not knowing something and asking questions about it.
IIRC, Because he realized he made a crucial mistake in the second one and it's too late to unpublish and rewrite it.
Which I might understand from most authors, but it seems oddly faint-hearted from Stross. Fuckin' retcon it, dude. Push updates for the ebooks, start the third book with a forward saying "the book you thought you read was a lie, here's what really happened." If any writer on Earth could get away with that, it's Stross.
> Fuckin' retcon it, dude. Push updates for the ebooks
Not going to happen. Stross has a significant workload to deliver other anticipated books (e.g. to complete the Laundry and New Management series) and has blogged about the difficulties and undesirability of revisiting older stories. He has also abandoned other promising sequences (e.g. Halting State) when real-world events overtake his own near-future universes.
