It's completely normal for Netflix to work on that and end-consumers wont see a difference.
That's exactly what's been done by illegal release groups (pirated content) which are very picky when it comes to time to release (encoding/sharing) and do their best to encode fast enough while having a good viewable quality.
When it comes to encoding, even for a large library like Netflix's, time to encode is always lesser than time/bandwith saved while sharing/streaming.
As of now, Netflix 1080p raw content (not transcoded) is delivered at a bitrate of 5200kbps/5900kbps with no differences between the content (animated or live action - here I compared BoJack Horseman to The Ridiculous 6).
While many (or even all) high quality release groups encode animated bluray at around 3000Kbps (1080p) (around 5500kbps for very high quality) while live action is encoded at around 11.0Mbps. The same difference is applied when the content is capped from TV and then encoded.
Stuff that is released via publically-tracked torrent (i.e. for mass-market audiences) often targets around 1.5-2 GB for a feature-length movie in 1080p. In contrast, releases aimed at Usenet (the technical crowd) are often 6-7 GB and sometimes as large as 11-13 GB for the same movie.
On the other hand the situation is much more equitable for audio. Lossless audio torrents are pretty common even in the torrent world, and due to the typically greater number of torrents available the overall selection of lossless files is probably at least as large as on Usenet.
I would assume that private trackers tend towards higher-quality releases.
I'm 25 too, I've been like you and I'm starting to getting out of this 'crisis'.
Like you I lived awesome things in the last 5 years, things that I would have never think I will accomplish.
I don't have a solution for you, but for me what's worked is reading books (non-fiction). In a book, you will generally find a condensed version of the life of the author and that's great. In a few hours you'll understand what he went through, how he did this or that and what they learned from that experience.
And that's great because at 25, your lack of experience doesn't help you make choices.
Here is a few books I can recommend you:
- Choose Yourself (James Altucher & Dick Costolo) - It's mostly about how to become your own boss, but there's a few chapter that are really useful when your a bit 'lost' or in 'crisis'
- The Obstacle is the Way (Ryan Holiday) - Really great reading!
- Satisfaction (Gregory Berns) - I'm in the first chapter but it's seems to be a good book.
I like the idea of separating the content from the presentation and the behaviour. But I'd really like to automate this.
Is there a way in SVG to concatenate strings? (I never really used SVG and can't find something on this in Google) .
Using JS I generally use the data attribute in html to set the image name and add _small, _big, _huge depending on the window size. The JS script will automatically set the right image. It's great but doen't work if there's no JS support.
