Justify in terms of what, exactly? At current disk prices, 114 megabytes costs less than a third of a US penny. Even at minimum wage, you'd make that in under a second.
- Dylan16807 6y agoThis is a tangent, but I wish storage was that simple. Too many devices come with non-expandable storage and don't have very big options to start with, even if you're willing to pay well above the normal rate.
- svnpenn 6y agosurely someone of your pedigree can understand, not everything is about money. Why should I use something 6 times larger? Without a benefit thats just software bloat from where I sit. and GNU is known for this, from glibc on up.
- anamexis 6y agoI think the key question is, what is it about?
- andai 6y agoRecently went through some GNU and BSD source code and the difference in file size was quite dramatic. GNU's really doing its own thing :)
- ramraj07 6y agoUnless you are actually running out of space, why is that even a criteria? Unless two programs are exactly feature-paired, why would you even think about how much storage they take up? The only explanation is that your work has made you think about space taken by programs for legitimate reasons and you are unable to think outside that mindset - when the cheapest phones ship with 50-100x more space than that, when a single minute of video from a regular persons phone could take up this much space, when the regular user consumes 10x that bandwidth every day in the internet? Who cares if it's 100 MB?
