mirrorbird (01:42:41)
oh well you mean a real computer like a c64. not a toy one like a PC. okay.

Agemixer (01:42:24)
yeah but i mean, for c64 or basically any computer to run with.

mirrorbird (01:42:05)
i dunno what the costs are (HAHA that's the problem bird) but ideally the OS should just keep throwing at you "here's some spare stuff, use it, and be ready to give it up"

jit my java

mirrorbird (01:41:24)
yes. but deciding your allocation at compile-time is very 1990s

Agemixer (01:41:00)
yeah it could be a compiler. Which makes the final decisions how much RAM to reserve and where, to generate any slices of machine code.

mirrorbird (01:40:40)
if half the memory is fucking empty it is actually efficient to pre-allocate. but you try telling an autist.

mirrorbird (01:40:19)
haha, "reserving the memory to use all of it on demand" -- see also: people asking why SQL Server was eating 90% of memory. is something wrong? "NOT YET". you run other stuff, it will back down
