  • You’re not wrong but it feels disingenuous to say this. The entire repo with all of its dependencies checked out for a large website can easily clock at half a gig but there’s no popular website now that’s asking any users to download half a gig worth of stuff before they can use it.

    There ARE websites where, if you keep them open long enough, they’ll constantly pull more and more data (usually for ads) but even that is measured more so in tens of megabytes.

    And none of this is to say that websites haven’t gotten too big, just that comparing a downloaded app’s size to the size of a website’s unbuilt unbundled source with all of its dependencies is an unfair comparison.



  • I’ve never dealt with this using a hypersonic speaker but I’m very familiar with attempting to record lyrics while hearing my own voice on a delay and it’s impossible. Thinking about just trying to read text while hearing myself on a delay sounds similarly difficult.

    My guess is that some of us, musicians especially, are more reliant on internal timing in all things.
