Humans are not limited to one computer in their lifetime, so the resources of one computer at one moment in time are not relevant to this discussion.
Additionally, your own citation shows that at this moment in time a vanishingly small number of computers have an amount of memory that would result in any kind of performance degradation due to the use of one or a few Electron apps.
Therefore, Moore's Law applies, and we can safely say that resources which double every two years are not scarce.
Your continued insistence on a false fact will continue to be "controversial".
- otterley 5y agoThis discussion has never been about whether the aggregate amount of computer memory in the world is a fixed quantity. (At least, that's not what I meant to discuss, or how I think most people would interpret my claim.) It's about the impact on real people who have laptops with fixed amounts of memory in their hands today.
- TameAntelope 5y agoThe impact on real people who have laptops is low because the aggregate amount of computer memory in the world is doubling every two years. It doubled, people bought new laptops, and reaped those benefits by running multiple Electron apps seamlessly on those new laptops. So it remains a false statement to say, "Memory is a precious resource."
