You think web page size bloat is bad on some things? oh boy.

Good afternoon to everyone, except bumn.go.id (an Indonesian government website) for having a (at least) 3GB web page because of embedded MP4's with uncompressed audio and video seeming straight from the camera...

This must cost so much for them, like a single page load could cost at least $0.15 in cloud egress fees alone

@gsuberland @benjojo That makes the photo on https://www.cs.rpi.edu/~chrisc/ look entirely reasonable in size by comparison (it's just a <img> tag resized, check out how big the raw photo is)

Me and my classmates used to joke how you could tell he was the HPC prof and probably on like a 10G pipe because he never noticed the load time
