@@Decton That is what I meant, rewarded with business.

@@dosmastrify Having a bad day? I am giving my perspective, which is that this great breakdown of how content is distributed and load-balanced may be somewhat mind-blowing to the uninitiated, but what really appealed to me was the candor.

Why does API and other architectures even need to be (re)built? Isn't that the equivalent of reinventing the wheel? Shouldn't there be ready-made APIs and architectures you could buy (physical analogy: you COULD build your own office and install the plumbing, or you could rent/buy an office with the plumbing already done).

​@@Kaede-Sasaki It might seem like reinventing the wheel, but there are several reasons why APIs and architectures are (re)built rather than universally bought or adopted as-is. - Customization: Every system or application has its unique requirements. - Scalability and Performance: Tailoring APIs and architectures allows developers to optimize for performance and scalability. Generic solutions might not efficiently handle a project's growth or might have unnecessary features that impact performance. - Security and Compliance: Building APIs and architectures in-house allows for tighter control over security measures and ensures compliance with industry standards and regulations. You don't have to depend on other companies and, therefore, others' mistakes. - Innovation: Developing custom APIs or architectures enables companies to innovate and create unique features or services. These are the main ones that come to my mind. I'm sure that there are dozens of others. Just like how some businesses prefer custom-built offices to suit their needs perfectly, many developers and companies opt to create or modify APIs and architectures to precisely fit their requirements rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf solutions. Some companies need one room, and others an entire building.

dang

You saved me, thank you 😂

You are not alone. #toiletbuddies

Ye same here...

That was required an android to Pluto dwarft planet 😂

I'm not quite in my 40s yet but goodness I remember those horrible days of downloading 20 MB Real player files lol Funny enough I actually found a few on an old hard drive. Quality was terrible

Try being over 50, I grew up with 3 channels, streaming is nothing short of magic.

I'm amazed they can host so much at even 240p.

Shoot I'm 27 and even I remember it evolving so fast in the early 2000's. I got into computers when I was about 5, so 2001, and vividly remember the days of still using late 80's/early 90's tech.

I'm about 60? My senior HS year our school got 2 stations of Apple II's.. Then "MS DOS" prompts, baby! (Egad, I'm old...😂🤣😂🤣)

Maybe I could ask you, iydm: Why does API and other architectures even need to be (re)built? Isn't that the equivalent of reinventing the wheel? Shouldn't there be ready-made APIs and architectures you could buy (physical analogy: you COULD build your own office and install the plumbing, or you could rent/buy an office with the plumbing already done).

Yeah, as someone who has worked as a DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer and a Cloud Operator (all jobs in the DevOps field that more or less do the same stuff - bridging the gap between software development and cloud operations), I think he did a good job of saying it that way because it's hard to summarize^^ I took part in around 40-50 job interviews on the company side and my absolute favorite question to ask is "What is DevOps?" because it's amazing how wildly different answers you get even from professionals. From a job title to a dedicated team over a position in a team and a mindset to a set of principles, I've heard them all and all of them have some truths to it (though some more than others IMO) because companies use DevOps as a buzz word like they did with agile for the last 20 years

heh they arent developers... when youre paying outside engineers to build your product for you, they use full words, makes it seem like youre getting more haha

No-one knows what DevOps is. But in one theory it's a cultural movement about software development people and and software operation people working closely together - not a job, not something called developer operations.

Audience matters 😀

Same here. It's like when your wife calls you by your full name. It's technically correct but... You're in trouble.

The bundle is ending at the end of this year FYI. You should switch to direct nebula.tv/unbundle

Would've though existing bundle subscribers would've got a better deal than everyone else for some loyalty.@@RealEngineering

@@RealEngineering Huh! This is the first I'm hearing about that. I've had the CS bundle since April 2021 and didn't feel the need to ever change anything about that. Guess it's time to upgrade to the Lifetime Subscription now.

​@@RealEngineeringWait, that bundle expires? Why am I first learning about this here, I can't find any info about the bundle ending on my Curiositystream or Nebula account...?

A bunch of other Nebula ads Ive seen have mentioned that the bundle is ending. Curiosity Stream has announced that in 2024 they won’t share/pay the bundle revenue, so Nebula has decided to end the deal so they can get their fair share from subscribers

It's a lot crazier that VDSL sends signals with a frequency of a few million hertz over a telephone line, which was designed to only send signals with a few thousand hertz.

@@thebamplayer They actually use frequency division multiplexing. They create a bunch of 64kbps channels. If some have bad quality: it is no big deal.

@jamesphillips2285 Changes nothing about the fact that VDSL uses a frequency of 17 mhz.

Then you might like Jet Lag: The Game Season 1 (Connect Four Across America) and Seasons 3 (Race To The Most States) because there Brian (aka Real Engineering) forms a team together with Sam (aka Wendover Productions and Half as Interesting) to compete against two of Sam's writers, Ben and Adam, by traveling across the US and completing challenges. It's a great way to see more of the guy behind the voice!

@@MrGtubedudecould be microsoft, google, ibm, oracle, cloudflare, or one of a number of other companies. it's not all that specific.

We have those schemes now (developments like QAM is exactly part of why bandwidths today are so much better than they were 30 years ago). The biggest limitation in those old modems was that they had to run over POTS ("plain old telephone system"). The introduction of DSL changed that as they could then run dedicated digital signals rather than trying to piggyback on analog and get much higher speeds over the same copper - but it came at the cost of having to upgrade all of the neighborhood boxes to handle the digital signals, so it was a pretty slow roll-out all things considered. Cable went through a similar transition albeit a little quicker as they had less regulated guarantees to worry about (ie: your telephone is required to work at essentially all times so telephone companies had to be much more careful that their upgrades wouldn't interrupt normal phone service while cable companies were able to be a bit more ad-hoc about the whole thing - at least until they started selling their own telephone service as a competitor to POTS). The switch to digital systems was the big milestone (so much so that both telephone and cable providers now operate pretty much purely digital networks with analog support only showing up in the last mile to allow the service to still work with older devices). Once we made that leap the speed boosts that had slowly gone from 300bps to 57.6kpbs over the course of like 4 decades was suddenly able to jump to the Mbps range within the span of a couple years in the late 1990s-early 2000s and has been growing almost uninhibited ever since as newer and better encoding schemes come out one after another.

Glad I wasn't the only one that caught that 😆

It's the only reason I opened the comments 😂 The bromance lives on!

Maybe not big, but corporation sure it is. And acts like one too. Turns out Nebula isn't the safe space I naively thought it was...

​@@PtrkHrnkwhat do you mean about Nebula not being a safe space??

TBH i wouldn't trust Linus' opinion on anything anymore.

These guys have stated ( and showed through their business strategy ) multiple times that they are doing everything in their power to NOT use VC for funding.

They're never going to sell Lifetime memberships to more than a small fraction of users, in reality, so they're just betting that the content they can make with that money will bring in enough new customers over the next 5-10 years to more than cover the cost of serving content to that handful of lifetime users. Seems to be a pretty safe bet, judging by their current trajectory.

In Nebula's ToS: If you sign up for a Lifetime subscription, your Lifetime subscription will provide you access with the types of Content (e.g., Nebula Classes, Nebula Podcasts, Nebula Originals) available at the time of the purchase only. New types of Content may be subject to new subscription fees. For example, if Nebula introduces Nebula Short Stories (just a thought!), your Lifetime subscription may not cover access to this new type of Content. Purchases for Lifetime subscription plans will be clearly indicated as such on the sign up page and in the order confirmation. So, technically they can make other content types to entice lifetime members to want pay again.

I imagine the uncensored geopolitics coverage is probably pretty great, too. Hear sides and events barely covered in regular outlets from REPUTABLE SOURCES not 4chan pit shosters.

Yeah, they should partner with Curiosity Stream. Oh wait...

Good question

Pretty sure he showed his face before one time

The lowest reasonable speed was 1200, though 110 was the actual lowest. ISDN required a dedicated line, and did not operate on a regular phone line. It required special equipment in the telephone exchange. The fasted you could get between two regular phones was 56k. 64k was possible in some hybrid cases.

In the US, a single ISDN channel maxed out at ~56k due to robbed bits (for signalling). And if you use both ISDN channels for data you could no longer receive phone calls, which for families was a prime upgrade motivation. So 56K in some markets isn't an oversimplification, it was the real world limit. 64K elsewhere, until cable modems became a thing. V32bis, for 14K4, disrupted the market but there were significantly slower models before it.

*Starts* with 14.4k!? Wat!? Teletypes were doing like 45baud in the 1950s.

I've never heard or read that interview question, probably because it's WAY too broad. This explains how CDNs work at a high level, but that hardly scratches the surface of how the internet works.

@surewhynot6259 Yes this only covers a very small portion of how the Internet works. It's a common interview question for web developers precisely because it provides the opportunity for very expansive answers from the candidate. In this way the interviewer can assess exactly how deep the candidate's knowledge and ability to explain the topic can go and compare this with other candidates' answers

Can't speak for CS, it was likely a local licensing issue, but they just shouldn't be showing you a video that you can't watch then. The bundle is ending in 4 days time either way. Nebula does not do anything like that.

LGBTQIA’s content great?

Just use the filters to limit the categories. You aren’t special. Other people like other content. Popular and non-scientific content is subsidizing your beloved scientific content.

@@qwerty112311 There aren't great filtering options.

Issue is they don't make that clear or really show that in any advertisements. I love all this kind of things but the trial/bundle showed me they didn't have enough to justify it. Happy with YT Premium sub and channels on here.@@qwerty112311
