Kazinsal posted:browsers should be hibernating tabs you haven't used in ages / other tabs by last use time and memory consumption when memory constraints arise ah, okay, so you should wait until the browser hibernates tabs before launching your app. how long is that? what if you just accidentally clicked on the browser window 2 seconds ago? what if it doesn’t do a very good job of releasing memory because of lazy programming? your suggestion takes a function (swap) out of the kernel and distributes it to every app, relying on them to implement it cooperatively and correctly. it also requires them to have enough core functionality always in memory to be able to restore the rest of their state. that means not evicting their program text, unless they want to dynamically load and unload major parts of their code. the complexity ramps up very fast here.

Kazinsal posted:OP be honest was this thread intended to just be a complex /r/relationships post? because this romance really does sound like the oomkiller nah I was mostly just bored but then this week got even more complicated than I planned. i feel less sure about it than a few days ago. i will concede though that maybe a little swapping is okay as a treat for an OS that a user will be doing heavy multitasking with.

what’s the concept that my task manager always stays in ram and always has higher priority than the programs that make the task manager take 2 minutes to start

The problem on windows is often that the graphics driver is stuck or the foreground crashed app has locked the inputs somehow so they don’t reach the task manager window. Those old Logitech keyboards with the tiny LCD screen built in had a really nice add on where you could manage tasks on that screen and easily kill a crashed foreground application, I miss that

you can take 2 paths when building systems that will serve as a platform for other stuff: a) solve the hard problems in your system so the stuff that rides on top gets that for free b) skip the hard problems and make your system simple and fast if you go A then yeah its more work and its more complex and fiddly and breaky, but the people who build their stuff on top of your system dont have to solve that problem for themselves anymore. if you go B then yeah, your life is easier and you can make your system more bulletproof and speedy and easy to implement, but that problem you decided not to solve is still going to be a problem for a portion of the people who might want to use your system to run their stuff. both paths are equally valid, but one requires the users that choose your system to be much much more skilled than the other. and i dunno about yall, but im dumb as all hell so as an end user i would pick the system that solves the hard problems for me.
