As a mobile developer, I got an email from google saying they're going to be adding new memory restrictions in apps and it'll crash if you exceed them.
Thanks google, for buying all the ram, and then punishing us for it.

If it makes you feel better, Chrome has a limit of 4GB.

The one thing that the Fediverse wanted to destroy: not being able to cross post across social media software.
What people do: 📸
I fucking LOVE things breaking when the other node inevitably goes down, or the person deletes there post.
The URL to the originating instance is right there.
Edit: the microblogging quote post standard is just a URL as well.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
Look, that water is complicated. Cross-post a Peertube video in a response to this comment. Lemmy and mbin and piefed etc. do mostly inter-operate transparently, I even see folks from Mastodon occasionally, they're the ones that relentlessly @ people, but that's about as far as this anus will distend.
Another idea: ban all public-userspace devs from have more than 2GB ram on their dev systems.
If it's going on the market for joe-schmoe, ya gotta make it work on a complete shitbox before shipping.
Hot take: node.js was a mistake
As somebody whose most familiar language is JavaScript, I agree.
Hotter(?) take: JavaScript is a mistake
I've been a node dev for the past 10 years or so now?
Moved here from C#. I'm still quite surprised that it became the dominate language/runtime or whatever.
And it's my fault, and I'm really sorry.

No monitors above 1920x1200 and they must code in bright sunlight at least 8 hours a day. I'm convinced some websites look like ass because the developers haven't look at anything below 4k. Maybe ever. Some may not have seen sunlight in years. Not everything needs to be made for dark viewing with white text everywhere.
I have 4k screen and half of the websites are cellphone-like column in the middle. WTF is this shit?
Oh god, yes, I wish they had to work in a bright environment. Every other website (and even some desktop applications) feel like it was coded by someone who hasn't left their basement since Obama was still in office.
I mean, seriously, how can people unironically say stuff like 'black text on a white background hurts my eyes'? Turn on the fricking lights damn it. Staying in badly lit environments is bad for your eyesight anyway.
Also, while we're at it, I am also not a fan of grey text on a grey background. Okay, rant over.
Designer != Web developer
Your anger is misdirected.
Bold of you to assume most sites and apps have designers.
Even the ones that don't agree following designers, just not ones they work with.
Those giant JavaScript frameworks, and more importantly for design, CSS frameworks don't pop out of thin air. .
The entire world was and still is in material design because it reads the blessed Google design.
ban my boss from forcing me to include gigabytes worth of javascript.
making me do it with 2gb ram is only going to make me suffer while trying to do it.
2GB? Barely enough for the VM of the Docker of the flatpack for the cloud mouse driver's DRM!
Dicker is the new container virtualization technology.
They misspelt 640K
Your 100 MB webäpp is still shit, in every metric.
Instructions unclear, the site is now best viewed with at 640K Transcendent HD.
My work laptop has 64GB and it legitimately takes 5mins to delete my node_modules folder 💀 Though that might just be an SSD speed bottleneck ig
4k fullscreen uncompressed picture is a bit under 24MB. (3840*2160/1024/1024*3 = 23.73)
Why would you have that at 100% on your webpage? I mean with the special exception of looking for enormous photos.
Also, you'd store it, and download it (to your webpage) compressed.
Which is why you show a lower-res preview as default. Don't want to wait a fucking minute to decide if i like your picture or not.
Which reminds me, Chrome/ium/Firefox's dev tools have a bandwith limiting feature. A lot of so-called web developers don't know that.
Really? I did a little web dev as a side role when I worked in a small shop and even I knew about those tools.
Reducing load times under highly throttled speeds was like crack to me.
Yes entire page load was 120kB. But what about 76kB? 2 hours well spent damn it!!
Yeah thats because you do this thing where you care about your work. As far as I can tell most people don’t do that.
I want to load more than one website at a time, so 2GB is generous
