Poor Ben superuser.com/questions/896008/memory-not-unloading To broad, does that mean that way to many other users have reported terrible memory "leak" issues with acrobat? That the issue is Broad for acrobat users :-)

http://superuser.com/questions/908355/computer-slowing-down-after-several-print-to-pdf-requests so there he is re-writing the question, based on users comments.
But I see it more like well if it is sucking up your memory all wrongly and not freeing, then it Will also be slowing down the computer.

I really thought he had presented the problem (question) with better information than has been done before at other sites. only to be shut-down.

1:23 AM

The same kinds of oddities had occured with adobeez video editing program premiere, for multiple versions of the program. A person could demo, and make small videos and all without a problem, but anyone working on a Huge Complex project with many many items, would experience all the flaws in the programming.

There were about 3-4 ways you could congifure or change the program to make is more survivable, then backing it up more often, and working in smaller chunks (to assemble later).
It was most wonderfull when I finnaly quit using it altogether. Have not looked back, and for some reason have not had those problems (that supposedly did not exist). The other softwares , with thier own problems too, a person could at least finish a project.

2:06 AM

Finally, YouTube no longer uses Flash in Firefox.

I've been longing for this switch especially because I often open videos in private browsing which means that my settings don't get applied.

@DragonLord Nice!

I'd rather not have to deal with going through a plugin to play videos.

Flash is old tech given that HTML5 is the standard these days.

Flash Player is also riddled with bugs.

I'm still amazed at .gifv lol

Kindle Paperwhite ordered using comgateway to reship. HOPEFULLY it'll reach them by the 4th since I have some random cgw credit that expires then ;p

Even then, It'll cost me 15 dollars at most to ship

not kindle voyage?

also, congrats

Journeyman Geek

naw

The paperwhite has insane good reviews from actual people I asked ;p

@JourneymanGeek I was pretty meh about it :P

@JourneymanGeek Whatever happened to the 3 month rule? :O

Journeyman Geek

Rules are meant to be bent?

I decided to put off the monitor purchase for a few months

@DragonLord ...it hasn't for a while, even in private browsing.

Though, if you set Flash to auto-activate, well... don't do that.

2:33 AM

Not on my machine using Firefox for some odd reason.

Flash is set to ask before activating

Odd.

Pretty sure private browsing has loaded the native player for a while now. At least half a year.

@allquixotic That's awesome! I can't believe how fast that loaded ;p

Journeyman Geek

(yanno what? I have a job. I can afford to treat myself to new hardware once in a while)

@Bob He got a job. :D

@JourneymanGeek I presently don't have a job but have recently started searching for one.

Hopefully, I can get an actual job offer within the next few months.

Journeyman Geek

2:45 AM

@DragonLord: Only advice I can give is network ;p

I may have a phone interview soon, but that job may not be the one I want (it calls for JavaScript, which I presently don't much about and is therefore not listed on my resume)

Journeyman Geek

stackexchange.com/work-here <---- ;p

Again, this requires JS.

I'm a C++ guy.

Guess I'll have to learn JS as soon as possible.

I was never taught JS, only HTML and PHP with a bit of CSS in my web design class.

:'(

The upshot is that JavaScript requires no special tools, just an Internet browser.

No need to fiddle with another compiler toolchain.

So many developer jobs seem to require HTML5, CSS, and JS these days.

Sadly, my C++ and software design experience doesn't make me as readily employable as I'd like to be.

Googling "C++ jobs" returns 36.9 million results, while searching for "JavaScript jobs" gives 139 million results.

We have been taught the wrong language from the start :(

3:01 AM

@DragonLord hey, I started here knowing approximately nothing about JS

guess what I spend most of my time working with now? :P

@DragonLord It shouldn't matter what language you learn first.

My preference is still C#.

It should be pretty easy to pick up any new language... especially if you're dealing with the faster-moving areas (e.g. web). If you can't pick up new stuff quickly, you'll be left behind.

I can probably cover the basics within a few weeks and understand most key concepts after a few months of training.

@DragonLord I would actually consider that a downside. A good IDE is a massive help, but the nature of JS doesn't lend itself to good IDEs.

@DragonLord Eh, not everyone is the same, but I personally learn best by doing. Give me a task, and I'll do pretty well just jumping in (given a search engine).

@DragonLord WebIDE is a completely different thing.

That's an IDE for FF mobile apps.

C++ is good for low-level stuff but is next to useless for real production applications.

also, it doesn't matter if something has "IDE" in the name or description - it's important that it's a good IDE

I can make do with Notepad++ but not having a good IDE will slow me down a lot.

3:05 AM

Visual Studio is excellent. Eclipse and NetBeans and the JetBrains collection are also great (personally, I dislike Eclipse's bloat, but it's not really a bad IDE)

How well does Visual Studio handle JS?

I have a DreamSpark Premium license for Ultimate 2012.

@DragonLord Oh, I'm mostly in NetBeans these days... but, again, we run into the problem with JS

it's hard for IDEs to figure out how JS references work

especially if you start using something like RequireJS and dynamically loading other modules

Oh, well. Guess it's time for me to get a copy of NetBeans.

VS2013 added support for RequireJS specifically, but I haven't managed to get that working - and it won't necessarily work for different implementations either

I'll probably phase out Code::Blocks soon, it's installed on my machine but I almost never use it.

3:08 AM

@DragonLord I'm only in there cause I'm also dealing with Java

I tried Eclipse a while back and didn't like it.

there's (supposedly) better pure-JS IDEs out there

@DragonLord I definitely prefer NB over Eclipse

If you want to try pure-JS IDEs, WebStorm is supposed to be good.

There's also Brackets, though I found it a bit lacking

Browser dev tools help, and tend to have a better idea of how everything links together, but it's also painful working purely in that environment

And of course you can just stick to a basic code editor. An IDE isn't really required. But they do help when you're dealing with a massive preexisting codebase.

I do have Firefox Developer Edition and this makes things easier

I do find they help.

5 mins ago, by DragonLord

I can make do with Notepad++ but not having a good IDE will slow me down a lot.

3:10 AM

@DragonLord "Firefox Developer Edition" is no different from normal FF. It's basically rebranded Aurora.

The same devtools (1-2 versions behind, of course) are in the stable release.

I did notice the tools were backported.

Do I need a webserver to do serious webapp dev work?

I have one but would prefer not to have to use it.

@DragonLord Depends what kind of webapp.

These days, webapps are moving to be more client-sided, but you still need some level of server-side support, generally.

@DragonLord ...huh?

I know PHP requires it (and my PHP coursework was done on my Linode).

Oh, you need a webserver as in the software, but not necessarily a physical server.

@Bob During development.

3:13 AM

You can pretty happily dev with just a webserver running on your local machine.

I'll look into setting up a subdomain for experimental stuff.

It would take no additional infrastructure.

You could create a HTML+JS+CSS "webapp" running off the local filesystem, but then you run into cross-origin issues (XHR requests are not allowed to file:// resources), and that's quite painful

@DragonLord In fact, a local webserver is much easier.

You can attach a debugger directly. Changes are reflected immediately.

Well, Firefox provides a debugger.

@DragonLord I meant for debugging the server-side components.

I'll probably install Firebug onto my Firefox Developer Edition profile. (I don't want to clutter up my normal browsing.)

3:18 AM

I haven't touched Firebug in years

Does NetBeans need the JDK?

Yea.

@DragonLord Figure out what you want to do first.

What do you want to create?

This is for personal learning.

You still need something you want to create.

I need a functional knowledge of Web technologies.

3:20 AM

Learning without a direction gets old fast.

I don't stand a good chance of getting a job without knowing HTML5, CSS3, or JS.

I have some experience with the former two but not enough to get a job.

@DragonLord Why not?

This is why I never could get into programming. I had nothing I wanted to create.

There's plenty of jobs, including programming jobs, that have nothing to do with webdev.

Webdev is one of the fastest growing development sectors, if not the fastest.

Most of the developer jobs I've seen call for this stuff.

Having an MS in Computer Science means nothing if you can't get a job.

(I'm approaching the end of my second graduate semester right now.)

I've just started downloading NetBeans 8 with HTML5 & PHP.

(Java 8 Update 31 is installed on my machine, but not the JDK.)

3:27 AM

You could always become a medical doctor instead :-)

they dont even have to know how to write

Journeyman Geek

yup

Java has nothing to do with js ;p

@JourneymanGeek I know, just wondering if it was needed for NetBeans.

Journeyman Geek

Nope

All you really need is a ~~trust blaster~~ good text editor and a web browser ;p

If you're doing server side js (which seems to be the hipster thing now) add node.js/io.js to the mix

28 mins ago, by DragonLord

I can make do with Notepad++ but not having a good IDE will slow me down a lot.

That really depends on how much effort you spend to learn the IDE features.

Journeyman Geek

3:34 AM

Its not like you need to compile js ;p

And don't forget your web browser probably has a fully functional js console.

I'm already aware of that.

39 mins ago, by DragonLord

The upshot is that JavaScript requires no special tools, just an Internet browser.

@JourneymanGeek Context-sensitive autocomplete is a massive aid.

Gah... password change day is a nightmare -_-

Not to mention parameter tooltips.

Journeyman Geek

I'm not a coder I guess. I think highlighting is pretty cool ;p

3:39 AM

@DragonLord Most languages can be written in with just a text editor and usually a pretty simple compiler. It's when you get to complex projects that it all falls apart.

@Bob I know. I've experienced IntelliSense first-hand and I'm far less effective without it.

Journeyman Geek

Dosen't the new vs thing do intellisense?

For JS, you do have builds and minification.

After all, I've written 1000+-line C++ programs in Visual Studio.

New subdomain added, Apache reconfigured.

There's nothing on it right now, not even an index or friendly error pages.

dev.fierydragonlord.com

@JourneymanGeek Powershell ISE does IntelliSense and it's amazing.

3:53 AM

Error pages are now up.

Is this the correct place to ask about hardware? Or is there a better SE site/chat?

Feel free to ask here.

So, I'm putting together a PC, and my RAM doesn't fit into the MOBO.

You know what, I just realized my problem.

please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way, please be round the wrong way....

I got CT102464BF160B instead of CT102464BA160B

One stinking letter. SMH

If it didn't fit, then you got DDRx instead of DDRy.

How was I supposed to notice that? lol

He got SO-DIMMs intended for laptops. That's why.

That's what the part numbers say.

4:03 AM

Now I feel like a total idiot.

How is Amazon's return policy?

@DragonLord Ahh, yes.

@DJMcMayhem Should be returnable, just indicate that you ordered the wrong item.

Amazon's pretty good with returns.

I hope so.

4:10 AM

no, your the only one :-) Before pushing the button, comparing what the manuel said , to what the description is , would be good.

@Psycogeek I doubt the manual would help here. It's a matter of understanding that desktops and laptops use different memory form factors.

You can often get the numbers off the "memory compatability" chart too, as opposed to the almighty crucial memory finder, and have all kinds of numbers to copy paste.

@Psycogeek what manual? I didn't have one.

Well they are all online now, you know the web is everything.

I've never built a computer before. I've been using r/buildapc to get recommendations on parts. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention when I ordered on Amazon.

4:15 AM

If it wasnt for the web, people would be wandring around in a daze, bumping into eachother, and not knowing what to eat. This is also called the Zombie apocalypse

Reminds me of a video I saw where people were carrying around their "Facebooks" in real life.

zombies have that problem too, no face :-)

@DJMcMayhem: pcpartspicker would have stopped that from happening

Also I buy HW at oldschool computer shops a lot so... I just ask the shop keeper.

Q: How to play minecraft offline in pc

I have installed minecraft in my pc but it contains only multiplayer. for playing multiplayer I have to sign up a account by 26.65 USD. It's quite impossible for me. So what can I do for playing minecraft offline? If anyone know then please tell me.

The real question here is "Where Did you get a Minecraft Tag " :-)

@Psycogeek You can download the client for free...

Oh... nevermind. I see what you mean.

Isnt some aspects of it free to play too? then they start nickle and diming you?

It's been ages since I looked at their model, but I'm pretty sure it's just a one time purchase.

Journeyman Geek

5:14 AM

Its a one time purchase, tho I think realms needs an ongoing subscription

5:56 AM

@OliverSalzburg just got cm12, feels good :-)

Dammit, Java is out-of-date and the auto-updater isn't working.

I also don't have a 64-bit Java Runtime.

Downloading now.

NINITE IT

also whoops... Caps.

ITS OKAY

6:12 AM

It's only because the NetBeans installer gave me a warning saying that I should get a 64-bit JRE for better performance that I noticed this issue.

Journeyman Geek

@DragonLord That's a feature, not a bug ;p

@JourneymanGeek Why? I would expect Java to notify me of updates like it used to.

Journeyman Geek

hm

(That's a joke)

The JRE installer just gave an out-of-date version warning.

Java is not something I check often and simply assume is always up to date.

Guess I was wrong.

Removing Java 8u31... done.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit JREs installed, 8u45.

Browser restarted, confirmed plugin is updated as well.

I guess it depends on how you've installed it

I did it this way: add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y ... and it's being kept up to date automatically

6:25 AM

This is on Windows 8.1.

well then, I guess you better switch to linux :))

Trying to install NetBeans again.

This time around, no 32/64-bit warning.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Make sure ask isn't installed.

No, wasn't prompted for that as I used offline installers.

NetBeans installed, starting up for the first time.

Everything seems to be working.

Wow, all this talk about NetBeans being a memory hog is no joke. It's using upwards of 600 MB on the start page alone.

Not an issue for a laptop with 24 GB of RAM, but this was very surprising to me.

Visual Studio uses less than 100MB on the start page.

6:46 AM

@DragonLord 64-bit NB uses far more than 32-bit.

I know, I'm reading the documentation right now.

@DragonLord IntelliJ uses about 4 gigs if I debug something

@DragonLord 2....24 GB o_0

@HackToHell 2x4+2x8 GB.

System was purchased with 8 GB of RAM, added additional 16 GB as an aftermarket upgrade.

It's a high-end gaming laptop with four memory slots.

whoa much

NetBeans set the Xmx to 1 GB of RAM. Seriously?

-Xmx1024

Changing this to 16 GB.

-Xmx1024m is way too small.

6:59 AM

@DragonLord Not really, no.

Unless you actually have performance issues, you don't need to change it.

Netbeans tends to perform well with its default settings. There shouldn't be any need to tweak it.

(And I say this specifically because there's dozens of guides for tweaking Eclipse's heap limit)

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -J-Xmx16G"

Again, that's completely unnecessary unless you're actually seeing performance issues.

For reference, I have 17 projects loaded, and at least half of them are quite large. No issues whatsoever.

Okay, changing it to a more conservative 8 GB.

Not sure what harm increasing the max heap size would cause...

Shoot doood dont break it before you test it at defaults, Then change everything :-)

Looks like it might cause added GC burden, which could reduce performance.

7:13 AM

@DragonLord Most importantly, NB shouldn't use anywhere near that much. If that happens, better that NB slows down or crashes than it impacting other applications.

In the event that it actually uses 16 (or even 8) GB of RAM, you've now lost that much page cache.

Setting to 4 GB.

The longer GC pauses was an issue back with JRE1.6, but it should be better with JRE1.7. Not sure how much though.

Basically - yes, you have a lot of RAM. That doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to assign it all to applications that don't really need it, when there are better uses (and 'unused' RAM can always be used as cache)

Now, mx is just the maximum and shouldn't cause issues most of the time, but then we get back to "what if"s. If there's a memory leak in Netbeans, now you've completely wasted memory up to its max heap size.

@slhck crossed 100k rep. That's... slightly crazy. Congrats :)

5

If there isn't a memory leak - I just can't see any legitimate reason for NB to ever need to allocate that much. So you see no benefit.

Some risk, no benefit = it's not really a good idea.

I'm struggling to even get to 20k.

I've been posting more answers than ever, though.
