> What is consumes so much RAM and why?

That's just a complex rails application for you, at $DAYJOB we have to provision 11gb for just a single container running a single instance of the app

A good example would be curlie (go frontend for curl - https://github.com/rs/curlie) vs httpie (pure python - https://github.com/httpie/httpie). Originally I used httpie for its easier syntax, but it is very noticeably slower than curlie. I presume this is why they are asking for a rust version.

Another reason is that python is a bit harder to distribute due to the nature of python packaging, where as rust compiles to a single binary.

They don't like being called immigrants since they use it in a mostly negative context, so they are expats :)

> GraphQL shines when you control the API and the frontends that consume it.

How does this differ from controlling the API and frontend with rest/json? You can shape the data in any which way you want including nested relations, i.e get me a user with all their posts.

Unless you are $MEGA_CORP scale it really doesn't feel like its worth the investment.

off topic, but what makes zellij faster than tmux? Are there any benchmarks (I am unable to find any on their site or github page) or is it just because it is written in rust that it is assumed to be fast?

Would something like headscale (https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) solve that concern?

What is the social context in terms of open source software and licences?

> so my boss could technically fire me because they didn't like my haircut. If they were to _actually_ do this, I would certainly be slighted by this

If we translate this to the log4j scenario: log4j says there is no support or warranty provided in their licence, however if they _actually_ do not provide support or warrant, you would be slighted by this.

To me this does not sound fair at all. Your boss at least pays you for your time as part of your contract. What do the log4j developers get for their time? Absolutely nothing. Yet it is expected they should provide support even when the licence says they won't? That's just comes off as entitled.

Drew DeVault has blog post that covers this better than I can: https://drewdevault.com/2021/06/14/Provided-as-is-without-wa...

>Yes, free software devs can smugly repeat their stance of "it's a gift so don't complain, no guarantees about anything" - but if everyone took this serious, no one could use free software for anything critical, so the free software movement would be mostly dead.

I don't think they have to smugly reply, it's included in the licence[1] of the software that folks chose to use. See sections 7 and 8

What a great piece of software. It's amazing how many features it has in such a small size.
