Good reminder that I needed to do this. Docker for me had gotten up to 13GB even though I have it supposedly limited to 8.

  If you are on a Mac you are probably looking at virtual memory because that is what Activity Monitor displays by default.

    I was checking with top, but it's the same value. A double restart of the docker engine + changing the memory settings seems to have it holding. It's like an upgrade just ignored the previous setting.

waiting the 10 seconds it takes to build a javascript frontend these days always leaves me reminiscing about my highschool days of editing my javascript in notepad and refreshing my browser to instantly see my mistakes. I understand there are benefits and reasons for the state of affairs...

  I just started using Snowpack and it is a godsend. It’s an anti-bundler that puts separate modules into a directory. Between that and using vscode remote SSH onto my server environment, it’s almost like the old days of save-refresh, but with auto refresh!

  10 seconds... heh. We have build times in the dozens of minutes thanks to a decision in the past to use Dart.

  I don't even have to refresh the browser to see my changes! (I use clojurescript with shadow-cljs, but similar tools with incremental rebuild and live reload exist for javascript)

  if its taking 10 seconds to rebuild then I doubt the bundler is the problem, I get near instant updates on changes with a fairly vanilla react/webpack setup

  I saw the results immediately after I modified the files. I did not even have to refresh the page when I was making stuff with Vue.js.

Hey, so in 2020 we have unlimited sandboxed environments that do not require virtualization and can be spun up, destroyed very quickly, and their construction is fully automated. And it's somehow a bad thing? Get off my lawn! When Docker arrived it was a godsend, given that we were trying to do similar things directly with LXC. (I'm fully expecting someone to chime in saying, 'you had LXC? All we had was ones and zeros, and we had ran out of zeros')
