notes ------------------------------------------ #Speech So what's with the Notes program? Why is it such total garbage? Why goes the string "test note" take up like, 100mb of ram? How is that even possible? ------------------------------------------ >Why is it such total garbage? Sigh. Really? You dont get it? ------------------------------------------ >Notes >Garbage Oh boy here we go, someone get duck guy in here ------------------------------------------ #Duck >someone get duck guy in here >implying i wasn't here already ------------------------------------------ #Academic Ok, I hate spoonfeeding as much as the next guy but this idiocy just has to stop. Notes is an incredibly well designed piece of software and you're obviously misunderstanding it's purpose. OBVIOUSLY it doesn't take that much ram to store a string, it's just exploiting the RAM display to keep the note onscreen all the time by filing up exactly as much space as it needs with junk data. It's a hack, sure, but it means it's a generic notes program that'll have an output on any os with a ram monitor - meaning that it's a notes program that doesn't need special UI coded for it. Which means it's always going to be available, incase you need something written down and you're too lazy to get a god damn pen. ------------------------------------------
