Okay? Having a lot of memory does not mean a program should be wasteful, nor does it mean everyone has that.
- diminoten 8y agoYes, it actually does, because it redefines wasteful, and the availability of many-GB computers means a lot of people do have access. This isn't 2008, we don't need to care about 150MB like we used to.
- vmchale 8y ago> because it redefines wasteful how do people write shit like this and not realize how blatantly user-hostile they are??
- diminoten 8y agoBecause it's not user hostile at all?
- Camto 8y ago> many-GB computers Most computers nowadays have 4/8GB, it's not that much memory compared to how much Electron uses.
- agildehaus 8y agoIf you have legitimate reason for using 150MB. Developer laziness is NOT a legitimate reason.
- agildehaus 8y agoRemind me never to hire you.
- vmchale 8y agoIn fact, many/most computers these days have 8GB of RAM. And in any case, less RAM usage usually means less cache thrashing which in turn means acceptable performance.
