- Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? 1 week ago:
I don’t disagree with that. But the problem is having one electron backend for each web app and not one backend for all web apps.
- Comment on Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated? 1 week ago:
I remember in the 80s a PC programmer that did his programs in GWBASIC and when I asked him why was he using that instead of a better language that could make faster a smaller programs his answer was “if this doesn’t run fast enough in the client’s PC then the client will buy a better PC”. That’s the mindset, “it’s not my problem once I sell it”.

In Spanish, “café” if just that, coffee. But it was also used as “Camaradas Arriba Falage Española”.
The Spanish flag is just the official flag… except when it has an Osborne bull in it or the dictatorship eagle. - Comment on US strikes another alleged drug boat bringing death toll from campaign in Latin America to 70 1 month ago:
