I do video postproduction and am trying to archive/backup 100-250GB of large files per month. Ended up very slowly rsyncing to Synology NAS, confirming checksums with another script, using Synology onboard stuff to backup to AWS, and dealing with all the totally random hard drive noise.
If I want to work on one of these old projects, I have to download it locally so 4K editing works.
Meanwhile my old projects back when I used different software are impossible to open.
I have spent days setting up all this junk, HATE the Synology UI, and regret it all.
What’s the better solution? Just a bunch of RAIDs that I connect to with USB??
If you can afford it, https://shade.inc/ or https://www.lucidlink.com/ are magic. Rather than downloading that 4K file entirely before you start, it will download chunks as you need them while editing. Avoids the NAS entirely, though you may want separate backups.
If you're local to your equipment (and can afford it), 10G local network with UNAS Pro. Search YouTube for "unas pro video editing" and there are various people discussing their setups. In this setup, your connection to the NAS is fast enough that file transfer speeds aren't such a problem, and the NAS software is nicer to deal with.
Maybe in academia, but I've never seen any kind of reflection or study in the workplace. Twice in my career I've witnessed an entire team rage quit on a manager at once. Twice! And I did not see management bother to investigate or reflect on what the problem was. In both cases the manager continued to not only be employed but rebuild their team as they saw fit.
Employers have no incentive to do research that would force them to spend more on employee wellness. I worked on enough team health surveys to know leadership has no interest in collecting feedback about the big known complaints that they aren't interested in addressing. They only want to hear about the small unimportant things that could help morale to cope with the big issues (unless they are forced to investigate serious workplace injuries, unsustainable churn/absenteeism or productivity issues)
That said employers/HR publish a lot of blog spam about how burnout is really due to employe's lack of self care.
Singers and violinists can and do adjust intonation so each chord sounds (justly) in tune. The exception is if they were trained with equal tempered instruments (which is common nowadays - see Duffin, “How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony”) or if they are playing with pre-quantized (fretted/keyed) instruments, in which case they would match the existing temperaments.
So the linked article, while it shows some beautiful shapes linked to 12s, has nothing to do with actually (justly) in tune music.

I go to a lot of choir concerts. What I've found is that I much prefer (good) choirs singing without accompanying instruments, because when there are instruments involved the harmonies always fall into equal temperament. There is a quality when they sing a cappella which simply isn't there when they don't.
For a professional musician you are oddly singer/violin focused. Any instrument which can physically detune while playing has their musicians do this. On wind instruments it's via the mouthpiece, any string instrument beyond violin has some flexibility etc. It's only the piano that doesn't, essentially everybody else does.
But in practise, for many music styles, it doesn't really matter. Music is so much more than whether some chord is pitch perfect in tune.

I did speak a bit loosely and too simplistically. What I was trying to get to was the point you're making which is the same point the GP was making: when performers have the ability (because of the instrument they are using, including the voice), they will adjust to reduce beating.
Why does SN request my first name, last name, email address and username, and optional photo, and then have a 6+-step tutorial that you can’t escape early? Seems a bit much just for some notecards.
Unlike many other note apps that are meant to be single-player only, Supernotes was designed with piecemeal collaboration in mind, so we want to ensure that you can find your friends/family/co-workers etc easily by username and such.
But we agree that the entire onboarding flow could be a bit slicker, it is high on our list of many, many things to do!
That’s not easy to answer, because it’s not quite an apples to apples comparison if you start factoring in libraries, frameworks and the specific workload.
My rule of thumbs:
Python has similar performance characteristics as Ruby.
With Java/C#/Go you’d expect about an order of magnitude of improvement.
With naive Rust/C++ you would likely be at the same average speed as Java for web applications but with less memory usage. Well until you make an effort to produce faster code.
