You don’t know if anyone upset about this is a generally and constantly unhappy person, they are upset about this . Are there no topics in this world that you have a very strong opinion on, that you would express given the situation? Could

Culinary skills at the high-end are typically passed on directly from chefs to their apprentices, intending to be used, built on, and passed down again. It doesn’t really work the way being described, which is fine, because there’s no way t

When you learn of a situation that a lot of people care about and feel very strongly about, it would be wiser and more respectable to not immediately dismiss it. Since you admit to only finding out about the situation five minutes ago, you

Cool. I am a bit of a minimalist (one reason I've never felt the most comfortable with React compared to some other things) and equally not interested in bloat and differing opinions/principles from using component libraries for

Haha, the most recently uploaded/indexed "episodes" of a "podcast" on this site are individual songs from what looks like a podcast feed of a radio show. Just kind of funny Very cool project

Oh the irony of wanting such a site to exist but to keep it a bit of a secret. There are a zillion streams on this site, so unclear if enough additional traffic will be going to any particular one of them to be noticed by the sources. Certa

My guess is this was launched to get some attention or as some sort of proof-of-concept or whatever, and that it perhaps is not intended to be a sustainable platform, at least not in this form. And they probably assume if there's a pro

It's both. It's a FAST channel being used by I think Pluto.TV and Roku to give them another "live 24/7" "channel" for their catalogs, but underneath is just looping playlist of YouTube content. That's

They aren't making money from this, but they are likely operating at a scale where they either don't notice if 1000 nerds on the internet are piggybacking their feeds, or don't care all that much. It is not likely useful to t

I think a number of these are also public rebroadcasts piggybacking off a less-public source. Definitely a lot of these are also [re]broadcasts from vendors, probably for a specific platform or distribution target, that people found the URL

The definition of "public" in this context is not straightforward. I, too, doubt the site is long for this world, and due to its ease-of-use could possibly also draw the broadcasters' attention to all the unprotected streams

I remember exactly when I learned that, and indeed I found it interesting and thought-provoking at the time. And it's still interesting now, but I personally think it's way less likely true than I did back then

At the time, yes, absolutely, and that's why I did it. It was a lesson that everyone understood intuitively the moment the saw the comparison, even if 30 seconds prior to that they thought it was nonsense, or didn't really have th

Netflix is still pretty cash-heavy on average, though with a lot more compensation going towards stock options in recent years. They let the employee choose the ratio. They pay extremely well, but this comes along with very high hiring stan

Correct, theaters at the time could not really been project anything other than 24fps. So there were 2 parts to the shooting style, and one of them is what you describe, shooting at the higher frame rate used in order to have it play back s

I should’ve been more specific—I was referring to the modern-day workflow for producing a scripted series, which is what the article was about. In that context, Netflix has the most technically sophisticated workflow and tooling to optimize

They've done a lot of great stuff and I've always followed their engineering-related tools and content as well! In particular they made some major contributions to media archival and analysis tools, and, yes of course, to web play

All of the players in this echelon have contributed massively, and all of them have pretty wild workflows and impressive solutions to technical problems. If we were measuring technical achievement across the broader history of filmed entert

A Mercedes van to lug it all around is both hilarious and also probably the coolest way to do it. While working on set between 2012-2014, we were shooting all RED, and I had a 12-disk ATTO FC RAID10 rig on set at all times borrowed from RED

There is still a lot of manual, error-prone work, even at Netflix. Netflix just has workflows that ensure so many passes are of each task are done, with so many failsafes, fallbacks, tests, checks (both human and automated), and they start

The technical requirements always seem to increase at the same rate as the technical advances. I've found this especially true in film/TV. Sure, by 2014ish we were shooting on solid state and had giant RAIDs on set and storage was
