I feel like the faster our computational capacities increase, the quicker we will consume them.
Why make an app/service efficiently use 10Mbps if everyone has 1Gbps, for example?
- nine_k 5y agoBecause mobile. Also, in the cloud, you're often not given sustained 10 Gbps, because e.g. the box with your VM runs 32 guests and only has a 40 Gbps link.
- mysterydip 5y agoThat was an example, which remains so for the reasons you outlined. My point was, if we designed things to fit within smaller constraints than we actually have, we would be able to do more with the same resources. We wouldn't need 8GB to run two instances of an app if it was designed to fit in 2GB instead of 4.
