the guy jumped and started holding his ears cause of the sound.That's me now. My ears are pretty sensitive (to pain, my hearing isn't any better than normal) so I hope to keep them this sensitive into my old age. No reason for me to do permanent damage to my hearing for $17/hr
You know well that smartphones are not the devices we are talking about here. Nobody is going to gripe about devices which are by design not intended for multitasking. It's entirely apples and oranges.My point was: if the average phone can run many of these applications at once, then the average computer should be even better at it. Unless you are implying that desktop computers are somehow on average worse??
On desktop will be running multiple applications (not including the 2 upwards of 3 digits worth of daemons/services that will be running in the background) all at once, most of which will not have the luxury of writing application state to disk when it's not in use. It simply does not work that way.
Having your webapp or website consume 100 MB to 2 GB of memory just because "everyone has at least x GB of memory" is absolutely inexcusable and is an awful mindset for any developer to have. It's also inconsiderate to the end-user because they will want to use other applications without having to throw down $250+ for a new set of 32 GB DIMMs. But as you said; you do not care.
And the fruits of the 3 have manifested in busy CPUs and monopolized memory space.
JS has been JITted to hell and back and yet still lags significantly behind other scripting languages like Lua and Squirrel. Sure, you can throw every last SIMD instruction, data-oriented design technique, -Ox flag, and inlined function at the problem for both the parsing and bytecode evaluation, but the end results still speak for themselves.
WASM's IR is a step forward but still lags behind Oracle's Java bytecode and Microsoft's CIL from the few benchmarks I've seen. I don't hold it against that though, as it's still young and still has a lot more time to get better.It's fairly new but it's becoming really good at an alarming rate because the potential upsides. The value proposition of sandboxed apps running on every platform ever is a really good incentive to work on it.
This was what I was trying to get at. Clearly there's a gap between the tools used and how they're actually being used, given the monument of issues plaguing web development. I doubt neither the developers or the companies are going to budge, so changing the tools to fit the demands of the modern web is the most clearest option, at least in my eyes.I know from your perspective this statement seems like it makes sense, but there are a lot of problems with it. This is like saying "The unreal engine editor is hard to use and it's really easy to make slow games on it, instead of improving the UI and patterns to fit what the devs need, lets replace it overnight with Unity and make all the devs port everything to it."
So yeah, PPE is annoying, which leads to not using it, which leads to complacency, which can even lead to a toxic work culture.Same experience with construction. Though I've never heard of people calling others out for wearing safety equipment more so not wearing them. And atleast in here on bigger sites you actually get a hefty fine for not wearing glasses and a helmet while working.
I will say it's been super hilarious seeing all the "forget nintendo" reactionaries act up in the workshop in response; nothing says "stable member of society" like wanting to brutally disfigure random Japanese business men you have no true knowledge about because they (allegedly) deleted your Gardevoir OC dupe.I personally don't wish any bodily harm upon anyone, but lets be honest, Nintendo is a real piece of stuff these days. The switch console itself is a flop in my opinion, it could have been a way better product. It still has the potential to be, but Nintendo is so far up their own ass they can't see the light of day
