@Jilano lol ya I remember those days, install Vista -> PC slow af
Yes resource consumption should be as low as possible, but not according to them lol -
@gitpush The big question would be: If you're already at 99%, what happens if you want to start something else?
-
@Jilano utilize the remaining 1% because unused RAM is wasted RAM lol
-
@Electrux yup feels like chrome is better in ram usage lol
-
@gitpush lol yea 😂
-
@Root can you share some? I only used assembly during University for basics of the basics lol
-
@gitpush It's been so long since I've coded anything seriously in assembly, any specifics I could share would be quite dated.
The way of thinking about code and optimizing, however, hasn't changed much. I'm just not sure how to convey it -
@Root not even any good practice you use for coding?
For example using uint instead if int ..etc. -
@ewpratten nope, that's macOS
-
@Jilano nothing, the OS would start to use your hard drive as working memory/move less active ram portions there
Basically: it'll still work, but it's gonna be slow af -
@gitpush one tip: avoid heap allocations and reuse memory instead
-
@Krokoklemme turned out react native had memory leak, had terminal closed and Dev tools closed but kept the emulator running (iPjone emulator)
Anyways that caused the leak cuz app was still running in emulator but showing error lost connection with bundler -
@Krokoklemme But what if the virtual memory/swap is disabled? :D (it's even fairly common to have an error message because of that on Windows)
-
@Krokoklemme I honestly don't recall why I answered like that lol
-
@Krokoklemme I've seen it mostly with games, but yes, it does happen
@gitpush Getting old isn't easy ;) -
@Jilano 😭😭😭
-
@gitpush No worries, we're all (mostly) aging at the same speed :D
-
@Jilano but I'm still 27 😪
-
@Jilano then blame the game and not windows lol
-
@Krokoklemme In all honesty, I wasn't really blaming anyone or anything, haha
I know all too well that most games nowadays are very badly optimised and you have to spend time and tweak the configuration files to have something barely "okay-ish" (looking at you, Bless)
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
I would love to see those that say:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM
There you go, used every fucking possible bit to a point mouse pointer doesn't fucking move.
Fucking hate when people say that, and don't be funny and throw a comment about those 300MB are wasted .. blah blah blah.... Yaaaa fuck off.
rant
memory leak at it's fucking best
wtf
fucking stupid
