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.

Yes, but whether or not features are unnecessary (in terms of point of view) depends almost exclusively on the person's agreement with them. People find the features they use to be necessary. No story there. It's almost impossible to take a more objective frame of reference anyway. How do you define necessary?
