It's how big orgs like Google do it, sure. Working there I had 192gb of ram on my cloudtop.

That's not exactly reducing the total spend on dev ram though - quite the opposite. It's getting more ram than you can fit in a device available to the devs.

But you can't have it both ways: you can't bitch and moan about "always on internet connections" and simultaneously push for an always on internet connected IDE to do your builds.

I want to be able to work offline whenever I need to. That's not possible if my resource starved terminal requires an Internet connection to run.

Ram is dirt cheap and only getting cheaper.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
