Episode notes
Compression Trade-off
- Compression trades CPU time for less storage space or bytes.
- This is useful for network transfers or limited storage contexts.
Compression Considerations
- When discussing compression, consider the compression ratio, time, and decompression time.
- Be mindful of what the numerator and denominator represent when discussing ratios.
Decoder Size Matters
- Matt encountered good compression on 8-bit machines, but the decoder size was too large.
- This highlights the importance of decoder size in embedded systems with limited resources.
