The memory/size paranoia

WHAT THE SHITTY FUCK

Okay. So I'm reading a programming websight and I want to download some documentation and there's that [m][u]/![/u][/m] WARNING BIG FILE, where by big they mean 200kB. I remember when I was younger and I had to download files from Europe. 2MB files took several hours to download. Guess what, it was 20 years ago, you fucking pretentious ``hackers''.

Also, 4MB of memory usage is a perfectly acceptable for a text editor nowadays. It's not the 70s anymore.

ALSO, go fuck yourself with your ``gcc hello world bloat''. Nobody cares if the compiled file is 300kB instead of 20.

I won't even mention the ``omg ghc is soooooo big almost half percent of my disk space!!!!!''. Fuck off.

It's more like this quibbling is only significant to specialists that make up a minority of the intended audience. If you quibble over this, it means you are some sort of specialist, some sort of troll, or some sort of idiot.

People tend to define bloated as “features that I disagree with” instead of “unnecessary features that add unnecessary bulk to the end result”.
