| We now have simple chat apps capable of doing almost anything LinkedIn does while using under 100 MB of RAM. |

| A probe collecting data in space takes <70 kB of memory. I fail to see how this statement should make me feel happy |

| ▲ | mattmanser 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | As someone was pointing out in a thread the other day about memory usage, a lot is fonts and images. EDIT: Just mind boggling to get d/v'ed for pointing out voyager doesn't have to render fonts or images... | | |
| ▲ | cosmicgadget 30 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | How much? You typically don't want more than a few different fonts on a given document. And neither fonts nor web images should be bigger than hundreds of kilobytes. How do we get to gigs? | |

| ▲ | littlestymaar 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Aka poor resources management. If you have significantly more images loaded in RAM than what fits on your screen, something wrong is going on. (Not counting the filesystem cache here, because it works in a best effort way). | | |

| I’m guessing you mean “does” in the sense of a user-facing feature. I’ve heard that LinkedIn searches for several hundred known browser plugins to identify potential abusive users. If the “simple chat apps” aren’t doing that, then it’s apples-to-oranges. |
