I‘m surprised Maomao didn‘t rank higher. It‘s so cool!

chroot! chroot! chroot!

1. People have enough RAM.
2. Developers see people getting more RAM.
3. Developers allow their software to use more RAM (either by doing more cool stuff or optimizing less stuff).
4. People have little RAM.
5. People buy more RAM.
6. goto 1;

This also applies to CPU and GPU.

I am working on an application using DevExpress XAF. It allows you to build a big enterprise application relatively quick by doing a lot of the dirty work you would otherwise do yourself for CRUD stuff. A lot of the application can be modified through mere clicks without touching a single line of code.

It is cool but kinda bloaty. When you simply launch an XAF application, it uses 300 megabytes of RAM. And that’s before you even loaded a single byte of business data. You have just reached the login screen.

At least i felt it was “kinda bloaty” until i first booted Void Linux on my gaming PC at home and took a look at htop. IT’S ONLY 400 MEGABYTES AND IT’S READY TO USE! MAYBE ADD 200 MEGABYTES FOR KDE!

ALL THIS BLOATING CANNOT CONTINUE! WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY OR WE WILL BE FOREVER DOOMED TO UPGRADE OUR RAM LEST WE DON’T WANT EVEN A FUNCTIONING TEXT EDITOR!

Kind of. First you have to buy a Texteditor token and then the license says you’re permitted to open the IPFS link in order to use Texteditor.

I’ve been wondering which crypto product i should work on. What do you think is the most promising project?

KateKash, Nanocoins, VimBucks, NotePetz++ (i heard cryptobros love ERC-20 based lifeforms), M$ WorDillars

Don’t worry, texteditor.com is also available as an app on Windows, macOS and Linux thanks to Electron.

It only needs 300 megabytes and you can style it with CSS.

Resharper really slows down Visual Studio at launch.

I kinda wanna see Gordon Ramsay go through a Merge Request.

Inventor of Delphi: “Hey, can i copy your homework?”

Inventor to himself: “Yes, just make it look like you made it yourself.”

No sir, i also copied stuff from C++, C, Haskell and Delphi.

Missed the opportunity to draw in a teapot for HTML.

If only TempleOS supported TCP/IP. Luckily there is a fork called Shrine that supports TCP/IP so bringing Lemmy there would be probably doable.

This idea sucks on so, SO many levels! It’s only doable on Android as a Live Wallpaper. As a messaging app which could run on Android and iOS it solves jack since you usually look down on the phone so the ability to see what’s behind the phone doesn’t add much, especially since the keyboard will obsure some of the view. The text needs to remain legible no matter what you have in the view so have fun creating an algorithm that determines whether you want black or white text (assuming you want the same behavior as iOS). Perhaps you want to add some blur to ensure that the text stands out.

And finally: The user will probably focus on the message so there’s a chance that the user will crash into someone or something anyway.

Oh nonono, i have a cool computer project! You see, i have this app idea which will make us a lot of money! And i think that you can code the app!
