@mjtsai I think memory on the logic board is fine, but I really do sometimes wish for expansion sockets.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 29 Jul 2014

@siegel I thought the logic board was fine in 2012 because I thought 16 GB would be OK for 2–3 years. Wouldn't want to lock that in today.

@mjtsai @siegel interesting. Using lots of VMs? I can see how those can eat up memory easily.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 29 Jul 2014

@milend @siegel VMs. Aperture. Apps are just hungry these days. iTunes: 800 MB. CrashPlan: 1 GB. Mail: 800 MB. Tower: 300 MB.

@mjtsai …and even with inactive-memory compression and SSD backing store, it adds up. :-) // @milend

@siegel @milend I didn't even have room in that tweet for Xcode, Safari, and mds. :-) BBEdit still uses barely any RAM, though.

@mjtsai @siegel @milend mds is still usually my top process excluding the kernel. So crazy-making.

@siracusa @mjtsai @siegel hmm, interesting. Do you guys reboot your machines or keep them always on?pic.twitter.com/8wkZiWMj9u
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 29 Jul 2014

@milend I probably reboot at least once a week. More often if the system is warning me about low RAM.
Milen Dzhumerov ‏@milend 29 Jul 2014

@mjtsai I think that would make a difference since I shutdown my computer every day. If I didn't, I'll definitely hit limits with 16GB.
