That's a lot of code, though. I can't imagine common libraries so big. The Linux kernel is less than 100mb.

- lxgr 9mo agoThe neat thing about code is that there's no upper limit on how inefficient one can get.
- HPsquared 9mo agoIt's literally "work expands to fill the available time" (s/time/cycles and memory/)
- yobbo 9mo agoThat would be the source code. The default debian kernel is around 12 MB but it could be much smaller. It doesn't bundle full random external libraries compiled with debugging symbols and "whatever other stuff".
