I'd definitely like to talk about this more - I don't have time for any more side projects but it's an interesting idea.
"app must not use more than N MB of RAM" is a tricky one - how would you measure usage in all cases?
- roryisok 9y agoI think its less about a hard limit and more about comparing to other apps out there that do the same thing. Music players for instance. 1by1 < foobar < VLC < Songbird / Spotify
- lsh 9y agoabsolutely. I see a lot of css and js frameworks marketing themselves on how very small they are, both before and after minimization. I guess the first step is to accurately measure what is important.
- lsh 9y agoit's a good point and something I'm still investigating. with the jvm you can set the maximum memory available to the instance. I once did all the fundamental C and C++ type stuff, writing a memory manager and my own implementations of certain datastructures and algorithms, it doesn't seem unreasonable to write something that would enforce program limits in a transparent way.
