??? nope.. Just chrome engine, node engine, dll files, thousands of node modules lines bundled together I guess.what does it contain ? images ?
remember the conversation here the other day about Agile Systems ( or something like that ). my take on code bloat is that its agile business processes that causes this. i have a buddy who says that if he has to maintain a bit of his software that has been in service for two years - he rewrites the whole thing from scratch,. so TwitFace and that crowd are agile in the manner of filling in useless fancy luxuries dreamt up in Agile Sessions and "slotted in" between a bazillion other lines of code. (i wonder how much time they spend trying to locate the correct slot to use? no wonder we users experience what we do when the broken "update" arrives and breaks working stuff.)I thought I was the only one
Yes I understand.. I feel a lot is not needed in this modern tech era but keeps getting forced on everyone simply because of the big tech guys(fb, Google etc) says so...remember the conversation here the other day about Agile Systems ( or something like that ). my take on code bloat is that its agile business processes that causes this. i have a buddy who says that if he has to maintain a bit of his software that has been in service for two years - he rewrites the whole thing from scratch,. so TwitFace and that crowd are agile in the manner of filling in useless fancy luxuries dreamt up in Agile Sessions and "slotted in" between a bazillion other lines of code.

just imagine if someone said : Hey guys we need to rewrite the OS from scratch - lets talk about what to leave out this time. now that would soak up a bunch of comsci graduates working as bar keepers currently.
my current phone has MS Word and the Spreadsheet thingy - both update as about 60MB each on android - and if I ever (heaven forbid) do use either of them - they are perfectly functional - the same things on any computer (ie Cliffski's and mine) are - - - - - - how big?
Wow - you must be young! I remember us being awed by having our first hard disk of 10MB and wondering how we would ever fill it in the days when most programs would run in 32K or 64K of RAM. Turbo Pascal and dBase II on a Z80 with 64K RAM and running LDOS/TRSDOS or CP/M were amazing for their functionalityI remember the era of programs been 10mb
??? actually I grew up in the diskette era a bit but kind of wanted to give an example of a memory that is easy to relate to but yes I am young. ??Wow - you must be young!

I remember running a big spreadsheet on a Sharp PC3201 with CP/M board and Supercalc. I had to manually daisy-chain 3 spreadsheets together to get the result. CP/M + Supercalc + spreadsheet in 64K (admittedly with overlays).agraham said:

I remember when I bought a 20MB external drive for my Mac Plus. My hands were shaking! And not only from excitement, but also the sheer weight of the thing!I remember us being awed by having our first hard disk of 10MB
I recall finding a page some time go - an A to Z of - living half-dead and dead programming languages. It's quite long. It proved a comment I once heard - Why learn multiple code languages? They all do the same thing/s! Let's rather learn to code well - we can always learn new languages when we get bored.This days, it's just people reinventing html in different formats I see everywhere.

I gotta say, that's pretty cool! ?I also used to work with the guy who found the first computer bug, the moth stuck in Grace Hopper's Mark II vacuum tubes.
Sorry but you haven't. My 'first computer' in 1968 was a Ferranti Argus 350 built with individual germanium transistors. It had a massive magnetic core store memory of 12K 24bit words and the only bulk storage was 5 hole paper tape.I have you all beaten
WOW!. From a Ferranti to a Cray .. and now what do you use, a quantum computer?My 'first computer' in 1968 was a Ferranti Argus 350
