"bad complexity vs benefit trade" that makes me think of "C compiler" (actually C89 with benign bits of c99/c11) vs "c++ compiler", or "javascript web browser"

"bad complexity vs benefit trade"
that makes me think of "C compiler" (actually C89 with benign bits of c99/c11) vs "c++ compiler", or "javascript web browser" vs "noscript/basic (x)html browser".
that said, aren't the 30TB hard drives around the corner?
- corysama 5y agoExactly. We are currently debating $10 vs. $6 to store 1000 hours of music. The only answer to my actual question so far indicates that when it gets down to $1 vs 60c, they’ll just say “Whatever. Leave it uncompressed.” Thus 90% of the discussion has instead been about 4G streaming lossless real time voice and podcasts to mobile devices with price-gouged storage to be listened to through very lossy Bluetooth compression :p And, 9% has been about how FLAC as a container format did a good job standardizing metadata. But, that has nothing to do with audio encoding within the container :P
