> slack uses enough memory to power a spaceship...
Which spaceship though? Not sure spaceship is the model you're looking for, as all of the ones I'm familiar have had a very locked down limited amount of memory. Apollo had something like 4Kb of memory. The space shuttle had 1MB.
Yes you're correct. It seems like you got my point though.
Slack often uses more memory than my IDE + compilers combined, to display the chat history of 60 people.
Yes, but it seems you have a misconception of the computers we've used in our spaceships. Most people are not familiar with how little compute was involved in our spacecraft.
Yes, pretty much everyone on this forum is aware that any Electron app is going to use way more memory than actually necessary as a trade off for developing in that ecosystem.
In efforts to save the punchline - I would move to change 'a spaceship' to 'interstellar jump calculations' but I fear the actual ram required would also be small.
Yeah... it almost seems like a brag instead of an insult. I wish my programs used only enough memory to power a spaceship!
