cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

nobody wants to talk about xml for more than 5 minutes but that's a lower bound on any payload.

and an upper bound! I once dealt with a subcontractor who wanted to replace a perfectly fine FTP-based file download system with a SOAP one, by just stuffing base64 PDFs into the XML
<Foone>
the only problem was that their system would fail if downloads were more than 5-10mb, and they blamed this on the web being "unreliable for large downloads"
<qu1j0t3>
o_x
<Foone>
they suggested implementing a system where every "large" file got split into a bunch of subfiles, and we'd just make a bunch of requests to iterate through the file
<Foone>
I only got them to drop this by pointing out that we had some 110mb files
<Foone>
so it'd be like 22 requests, while the user is waiting for the page to load
