That same technology has also dramatically increased the cost of doing that. Data isn't free and processing big data isn't cheap. As much as Google has the data, that means they need to store that data. You know what used to happe

I never said any of that. What I said is for this specific point a smart criminal won't get caught and you too can very easily obfuscate that very same data.

You are proving my point here. The single largest contributor to performance degradation on websites is that very industry. Look JSON has it's advantages and is a fine tradeoff, performance isn't a place it's good at, that&#x

You are using JSON. Performance stopped being an option about 3 decisions before choosing Nlohmann. If you cared about performance a JSON parser isn't on your list and if it is it's a relatively minor part of the product stack so

Dante was not by default compatible with AES67 and neither was Ravenna, it was mildly inspired by and likely many of the engineers who work on Dante also work on the AES67 spec but AES67 is an industry specification much like any IEEE would

Not sure about you but I got options for higher bitrate streams this year and honestly for the sheer amount of content available it is still significantly cheaper than other media I pay for. There is a point it will stop making sense to pay

The same way you do it in rust, use wrappers for all memory allocation. C++ has had RAII forever, since C++11(2024 btw now) have actually good wrappers, Box = std::unique_ptr, whatever the ref counter version is = std::shared_pte. Do the ot
