How is Messenger Bloated?
- make3 7y agosometimes on HN I get the feeling that anything more than a command line application written in Rust or in C may be called bloated
- vips7L 7y agoC isn't hipster enough for HN.
- Tobani 7y agoI wrote a custom ARM assembler that generate prolog that uses genetic programming techniques to optimize the interface. I've found the best interface to be my set of 8 multi-colored LEDs driven by a custom build arduino system that talks serial. Unfortunately I have to use a usb-serial adapter these days, and then a usb-c-to-usb-a adapter. My dongles have dongles.
- make3 7y agocan't tell if you're serious, the beginning sounds crazy but the end is a mundane practical issue
- deepVoid 7y agoIt is a piece of bloated app that adds all your FB friends to your messenger friend list automatically and constantly spams you to contact them on anniversaries etc. I deleted it the same day I downloaded it.
- djohnston 7y agothat's weird, i never get prompted to contact anyone except for the default thread that opens when you have a new friend, which admittedly i don't like
- mitchty 7y agoIts not like facebook applications haven't had insane amounts of duplicated resources and crazy amounts of gigantic libraries/frameworks: https://blog.timac.org/2017/0410-analysis-of-the-facebook-app-for-ios-v-87-0/ https://blog.timac.org/2017/0410-analysis-of-the-facebook-ap... Not sure if its relevant for messenger or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if messenger was overly huge for the task its performing.
