I'm very happy with an 8GB laptop (several actually) doing more than basic tasks, but the secret may be not doing basic tasks like running a music player that requires 1 GB of ram all to itself. Leaves more memory for the compiler.
Author mentioned this in passing, but I think could have reflected more on how it is so much ram is used to do so little, lest they find their 64 GB machine obsolete as well.
(I think $1800 is an absurd price for an 8GB laptop.)
- cozzyd 3y agoPeople use text editors that seem to use multiple GB of ram (based on oomkiller reports on a shared server I manage) these days, it's absolutely insane.
- orwin 3y agoAt startup I'm pretty sure any decently sized project with enough dependencies opened with projectile (or any project management tool) will eat up your ram, at least to build its index. Not sure how to avoid it.
